In an attempt to keep being creative, I’ve been looking into making comic books. However, my drawing skills are (at this point) minimal at best so I’ve started putting together photo comics using objects I have at hand. Unsurprisingly, that means Doctor Who action figures are being drafted to comedic effect, as seen below:

Apple is unveiling…something on March 7th, and that something is likely a new iPad. Rumours abound of retina displays and increased horsepower, along with slightly less reliable rumours of a new Apple TV.
On the flip side, Eric Schmidt has a vision of the future that’s all at once dull, elitist, and somewhat ignorant. But all is not lost, as Photoshop Touch has landed in the App Store and Chip has decreed it Good.
But wait, there’s more! We also have an interview with Kirby Ferguson, the man behind Everything is a Remix. If you haven’t seen these excellent treatise on the Internet, creativity and copyright, you’re sorely missing out, and Kirby was a great interview subject, an erudite and talented fellow with something to say. Check it out, and thanks for listening!
Mountain Lion looks like an old, tired drag queen (but may have some pep under the hood), Playbook 2.0 still sucks, Office might be headed to the iPad, a whole mess of iPhone and iPad rumours….and an interview with Macworld and PC World chief Jason Snell! All on this episode of Platformer.
Jason Snell interview!

Clowntown gets a new mayor! The dual CEOs at RIM are out, only to be replaced by another guy mouthing the same tired platitudes. We also cover the SOPA blackout, the Megaupload shutdown, a kerfuffle over iBooks Author, some staggering tablet statistics, and Youtube hitting 4 billion views A DAY. That’s mental.
Jerry Yang is out at Yahoo, RIM is trying to sell itself, Sarah Lacy gets $2.5 million (!) to make a promotional…uh, I mean, informative new blog about startups, Rupert Murdoch is old and insane, and Google can’t stop screwing around with your search. Throw in cloud gaming with Onlive, pro video people moving away from Apple, and the Pirate Bay starting up a new promotional program for indies, and you’ve got yourself a podcast!
By the way, please note that we’ve switched feeds, so you can now get the Platformer Podcast by either searching for it on iTunes, listening to it at Platformer.ca or by using this feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/platformer/OnDA
