Dispelling the Naive Myths Of Children’s Literature
Many adults would consider children’s literature with a little bit of cynicism – aren’t children’s stories really didactic aphorisms cloaked in fanciful wordplays and fairytale sceneries? As soon as reality sinks in that everything isn’t exactly what is said in the storybooks, we move on into ‘matters of consequence’ (as Exupery would put it). This is because the unreal-world lessons of storybooks have lost its charm, and it’s too late to go back once you’ve tasted the bitter fruit of reality. This is what the Norton’s Anthology of Children’s Literature aims to expose, at least in part. Its primary aim is noble: it shows how children’s literature has evolved from the didactic to the liberating, through excerpts and expositions. And what an impressive collection of excerpts it has – 2,200 pages of 350 years of literature, covering works of 170 writers and illustration artists. It’ll take some time before you chew your way through this.
With Digital Camera Megapixels, Less Can Be More
The drive to own bigger, faster, smaller, and ultimately better things have made the average consumer myopic about what he really needs. Remember the first time VCRs came into the market? It flew off the shelves, but very few have really put all of its features to good use. Well, the one of the current frenzies has to do with pixels. People salivate at the thought of more dots per inch. And while this ratio does matter to computer screens and LCD televisions, it matters less for the photographer, especially your casual picture taker who likes to preserve every little thing his Siamese cat does. When it comes to megapixels, more doesn’t necessarily mean better.
Riding the Wake Of the Comic Book Industry Slump
Comic book collectors have more reasons to hang on to their mint copies of Uncanny X-men #1 with a viselike grip. It seems that the comics industry is slowly, yet inevitably marching on towards going digital. It’s been half a year since Marvel made the move by publishing 2,500 issues from its archives into a digital format, available for online viewing (by subscription of course). The fees are luring – 10 dollars per month, 60 dollars per year, but you can’t download the copy on your computer, much less touch the crisp images with you fingers. DC and Dark Horse Comics followed suit not long after; DC put up digital copies on massive networking site MySpace, and launched Zuda Comics, a format which allows users to comment and evaluate each other’s work. Dark Horse showcased anthologies on the same site, featuring large, scrollable pages in hyper-real color (dubbed as “Dark Horse Presents”).
Your Chinese Tattoo Should Be Worth Your Trouble
What’s with the trend for Chinese character tattoos these days? It seems that everyone has caught on into the Oriental vibe and intends to permanently etch it into their skin. Chinese tattoos look cool, there’s no doubt about that, but the language itself is designed in such a way that using the wrong character can throw a tattoo’s meaning completely off base. Britney Spears had a tattoo which she thought meant “different” but actually meant “strange” (a dose of poetic justice), and you may similarly pick a cool-looking character at a tattoo shop which may mean “duck” for all you know (go figure). If you’re insistent on having a Chinese tattoo on your thigh or neck or where else, make sure that you do your research before you let that needle come anywhere near your skin.
The Skyscraper Capital of the World — It’s Not New York
Throughout the 20th century, the United States was recognized as the undisputed skyscraper capital of the world. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other major American cities were considered the pinnacle of glass and steel architecture, leaving other world metropolises in the dust (sometimes literally) behind their tireless vertical expansion into the skies.
