What Am I Curious About? - May 2019 Edition

Seems like a good question to answer publicly while I'm in the middle of carrying out a job search. Don't you think? So...a partial list: Space Cartography Languages Indigenous culture in North America Politics in other nations Mapping the Milky Way Galaxy Urban geography Architecture Urban design Ottawa-Gatineau history Canadian history Street names Psychology Comic books Chess Soccer(known as "football" outside of Canada and the States) There's others to be added to the list, but here's a starting point. FYI: My other weblog.

There was a bad day somewhere behind this one. ;-)

From Lee Barnett: You'll Never Believe a Man Can Fly

What if the first super-hero in the world was a British ad man?

What if that first super-hero got his origin by way of an experiment gone wrong via courier service mishap?

What if that first super-hero had his attempt to formally go public messed up by a news service's infamous penchant for spelling and grammar mistakes?

Lee Barnett's got a recently-revised theory to entertain you with. He's been serializing it for the past few days, and it'll continue for a few weeks yet: You'll Never Believe a Man Can Fly. He explains some of what's in the works here. You may want to follow along, or purchase an e-book edition as offered at his end of things.

Oh, and one of the illustrations accompanying the text is one of mine.

I'll be back at Rob McLennan's latest instalment of the Ottawa Small Press Book Fair this Saturday.

I've got a list of what I'll be selling here at my Livejournal, if you're interested. Hoping to see lots of friendly faces on Saturday!

Speaking of Job Creation in the Arts?

May as well trying to create work for myself, right?

I took in the press conference at Ottawa City Hall re: arts/heritage funding issues this morning, whilst taking care of other business(IE: day-job hunting). Hoping to put up a few photos later on.
