News and Analysis

• The UK Boss of Harper Collins wants to go “all media.”  Worth reading to give you the idea of the way things are shaping up – and some lines are getting drawn.
• Scott showed us this review of Afterlife With Archie which is apparently an interesting take on the Riverdale Gang.  Archie keeps doing all sorts of crazy and amazing things . . .
• Congrats to the Goldie Blox Commercial!  The game we mentioned earlier is doing well!
• An old Bon Jovi song just went viral thanks to a music video.  Hmmm, wonder if any other stars may try and make this happen deliberately?

Also the link roundup will go silent over the holiday, and I’m debating the return.  It may be better as a week compilation of news.  We’ll see – it is a lot of effort to do each day!

• Rich over-educated elites are our big issue?  The actual discussion is far more nuanced and interesting.  Food for thought about our economic problems – and THIS if from Bloomberg . .
• The Spider-Man musical keeps going.  I blame overeducated elites too.
• For economic news, but not related to Spider-Man or Bloomberg surprising me, the Japanese Maple Tree helps you learn about housing recovery in the US.  The housing market may be recovering in short, and you can look at various goods and service trends.  But the headline is amusing.
• 3D Printing with liquid metal, cotton, and more?  Another step towards more self-manufacture.  Cosplayers, commence lust.
• Sony’s Red Line of Death Isn’t That common.  Not exactly how you want to put things.  Still I’m hearing great stuff about the PS4, so time to pay attention.
