If you read the Esquire interview with Ebert that I posted a week or so ago, this is the computer recreation of his voice that a company was working on. While it’s a little rough, there’s no denying it’s Ebert’s voice. Very amazing.

There’s a great gallery of silhouettes on Picasa. They’re all made to look like the default Facebook silhouette. Funny stuff.

Robot 6 has great news – aside from the amazing Sweet Tooth from DC’s Vertigo – writer/artist Jeff Lemire has a new OGN due from Top Shelf in 2011. Yes, that’s a long ways off – but I’m sure it will be worth the wait. Check CBR’s Robot 6 for the full scoop.

Everyone should go now and read Esquire’s Roger Ebert: The Essential Man. It’s a powerful and moving piece of journalism about one of the most important journalists in my lifetime. Without his voice, Ebert’s written output has increased exponentially. Do yourself a favor and read his personal blog at http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/

Nice info-graphic showing how the different types of 3D work.

Wow! Just wow! That’s a toy that’s worth $99. Lots of accessories, huge and lots of play area. I expect this will be hard to find in November/December 2010.

The original Boba Fett that we all wanted as kids returns for the 30th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. Look for the mail away sticker to appear on the retro Star Wars figures in or around August.

Sharktopus – a SyFy movie directed by low-budget classic Roger Corman. How can you not want to watch it, based on the title alone.

I’ll admit – it’s a cool idea.
