The Portland of My Own Private Idaho is the PDX of fifteen years ago.
My review of World of Warcraft is now up at City Pages.
Steamboy isn’t really about narrative, it’s about technology. (Or perhaps “SCIENCE!”; shout it in your best Thomas Dolby voice.)
All of this morning’s big news seems to involve big business deals between big companies.
