My buddy John pointed out how similar one of the stars of Pixar's upcoming
flick
Monsters, Inc. (right) is to my beloved Alien Bill
(left). I had seen the same preview, but it didn't really register... maybe because of the claws, or probably the mouth. I was going to get all huffy
about that, but then I remembered how similar Alien Bill's design was to
Steve Jackson Games's The Awful Green
Things from Outer Space (below). So I guess I have no room to talk.
(Actually, I think that Awful Green Thing is glaring at me right now even.)
Tool of the Moment
Not as slick as some tools out there, spellcheck.net offers a very cool, free, easy way to do some spellchecking. It's a good UI. (http://spellchecker.net offers a slicker interface (blogger started using it) but it's a pain to install.)
Quote of the Moment
It doesn't matter what they say about you as long as they spell the name correctly
