I’m sure that you’ve said to yourself: “Gee, Adam writes like the unholy union of Hemingway and Chuck Klosterman, but I wonder what he actually sounds like.” Wonder no more, true believer. Jake Tenpas, the Corvallis Times-Gazette writer who made me look so smart has given you a chance to hear my melodious voice. He [...]

Via Geekologie:
A Utah company called Sarcos has developed a functional exo-skeleton. This accompanying video is pretty sweet. I especially like that the guy narrating/reporting sounds like he’s doing his best Charles Kuralt impersonation (does anyone remember who Charles Kuralt is?).
You can see the video on Liveleak.

Jake Tenpas is a writer for the Corvallis (Oregon) Gazette-Times. He has, in the past, written well and with passion about comics and comics-related topics. He’s profiled Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis, and he’s written about the experience of attending a local comics convention. And now he’s written a profile about me.

Hi everybody!
Today we will discuss how Gear School was colored.
We had once talked to Adam regarding what kind of machines and scenery he’d like to see in Gear School, and he gave us absolute freedom to color the book. That can be great because you have no limits and you’re free to experiment. However, [...]
