Name: Rob Ford

Like many here, the power of the Internets has sucked me back into the world of comics after a ten year absence.

When I'm not reading comics, I'm a full-time Director of Technology for a small public school district in Massachusetts, a part-time web guy and event DJ for the live monster spectacle known as Kaiju Big Battel (http://www.kaiju.com), and the delighted father of a brand new daughter.




Comics on the iPhone? I'm good, thanks.

One comics-related iPhone use I've come to love is the bookmark I have on my home screen to my printer-formated pull list on iFanboy. I pull it up whenever I'm in my LCS on Wednesdays, and I never have to worry about forgetting a book.

I Demand the Future!

On Jul 28, 2008 11:45 AM

As a subscriber to the Marvel Digital service, I can definitely echo the sentiment that a better delivery medium ie a bigger, color kindle is necessary. I have to disagree with the idea that digital comics would lead to rampant piracy that will crush the comics industry. If a person is inclined to pirate a comic book, they already can. The torrents are out there on the trackers, if you seek t...

The iFanboy Letter Column - 07/25/08!

On Jul 25, 2008 12:00 PM

Maybe this was covered in the Detective Comics arc I didn't read, but after recently re-reading Identity Crisis, a Batman/Zatanna relationship seems completely implausible. How can you date someone who previously used magic to wipe your mind? Every time you forgot something, wouldn't you secretly be thinking that it was just because they erased your memory?

iFanboy & San Diego Comic Con! Meetup Info! Contest!

On Jul 20, 2008 7:51 PM

Wish I was going to be there, but my day-job beckons... The rest of the crew from Kaiju Big Battel (http://www.kaiju.com) will be holding it down in Booth #4632 with a gaggle of city-crushing monsters and a couple of our new toys. I told them to lavish anyone who stops from ifanboy with DVDs and other loot. Ask for Tim at the booth (he's the least surly).

iFanboy - Episode #77: Grilled E-Mail

On Jul 2, 2008 12:00 PM

Josh, if you are ever compelled to use leaner meat for health or wife-told-me-to reasons, try mixing crushed dry stuffing mix in with your ground meat. As the meat cooks the breading retains moisture so your meat stays juicy, and if you use good stuffing (I prefer Bell and Evan's) you get some nice added flavor too. I make a killer (he says immodestly) turkey burger with the above approach pl...

C'mon Manga, show us what you got!

On Jun 24, 2008 3:21 PM

I haven't read much manga, but I'll second ARead's suggestion of Osamu Tezuka's Buddha series. One of my wife's English teacher colleagues suggested it to me, and I'm about half way through the series. It's one of those great opportunities to both learn something and be wildly entertained at the same time.
