Yeah, I know…Iron Man belt buckle. Why not? It doesn’t look like it will poke me anywhere near as badly as the Batman one does with its pointy ears.

I’m going to browse Conan: Frost Daughter and if that looks good I’m going to check that one out, too.

Great week this week. I talked to the guys who make Atomic Robo at the Big Apple Con a couple of weeks ago, and have read the first two issues. Hilarious, smart writing and great art with vibrant colors. This is definitely worth a pick up. The we have Sienkiewicz’s new 30 Days; The end of Brian K. Vaughan’s awesome run on Buffy, and Omega the Unknown #3 — which I’ve seen some complaints about it being to cerebral or something out there. I’m enjoying the quiet mystery of it.

Also, the conclusion of Green Arrow Year 1 and Beowulf.

These guys think that it’s one of five reasons Leopard will be a tipping point for Apple. I think Apple is already past the tipping point with Leopard being the lynchpin to hold it in place. An 8.1% share of the US computer market is strong evidence. Yes, the halo effect is working. But the key part for the Mac sales increase is the ability to run Windows, without it the halo effect wouldn’t succeed. Whether or not many people actually use Windows is an open question. I suspect many don’t, but it’s the comfort that you could if you had to that lead people to switch to the Mac.
