MySpace Sucks

October 23, 2006

". . . death is like a *&%#ing bus. You wait and wait and then three turn up at once, and none of them are *&%#ing yours."- Warren Ellis

Myspace.com is seriously compromised now. Spammers are fishing passwords, are posing as you and posting ads and other just plain junk on bulletin boards and who knows what else? Apparently some people on my friends list have sexy pics for sale. Even the Cure has been spammed and even worse, someone posing as the band is trying to scam you for some stupid Vegas thing. And you get an annoying ad every time you log on now.

The site sucks, now.

Newsarama.com has some a series of some really interesting articles about the comic book industry in the Philippines and also lists some of the Filipino artists who are working for the major publishers today (a bunch of them are or began at Top Cow). Who knew there were so many of us in the comic book industry? So, kids remember that even if your dad wants you to become a nurse, keep drawing and one day you too can be just like Lenil Francis Yu. Or be both like Jay Anacleto- whose day job is as a dentist.

On other thing, the following comments were made by Buzz Aldrin for those who want to be an astronaut when they grow up (like me!):

"I would suggest that you look into being special in some research area that's pertinent to what we're going to be doing," like astronomy, geology or life sciences, he said. "Less and less I believe we will have need for the piloting skills that require test pilot backgrounds. The piloting skills are going to be called upon for a smaller portion of the mission, as the mission gets to be six months on the Moon ... and they're going to be more and more controlled by robotics. So have a specialty, a research area, and know how to communicate very well ... and then be a team member, work well with other people. On these long-duration flights going to Mars, it's going to take a great deal of compatibility among the crew members."

My ambition to be an astronaut was shot when I became nearsighted and could not become a pilot. It is nice to know that in the future you could just be super smart and not be an air jockey as well. Too bad I am not super smart.
