Baby Vader
0This was, by far, the best Super Bowl commercial this year.
Lin recorded the Today Show segment for me where “Vader” was unmasked, and the kid could play a very young Anakin! Too cute!

The Most “Wonder”ful Time of the Year
0Christmas has come and gone, and I hope that each of you had a very happy holiday. I received more items for my Fangirl Room, courtesy of my fiancee. This is a pic of just the Wonder Woman stuff.
One of the coolest things I received was the Wonder Woman picture frame, and Lin printed a picture of Gail Simone and I from MidSouthCon to go in it.
I also LOVE the Batgirl baseball cap he got for me.
The girls, Jarael and Harley, enjoyed their Christmas goodies, too.
As a present to myself, I bought a new computer last night. My old one was about 10 years old and dying by inches. I’m looking forward to blogging more in 2011 with a more reliable computer now in my possession.
When Fangirls Attack
0After a long hiatus, the link blog When Fangirls Attack is back. I was very happy to see that my RSS feed was full of links from WFA yesterday morning, so I will be catching up on links I might have missed thanks to them. WFA is one of the first women-centric comics blogs I found when I started tiptoeing into comics fandom, and they were missed in their absence.
The founders of WFA, Ragnell and Kalinara, have founded another link aggregator blog called Dispatches From the Fridge. Be sure to add this link to your RSS reader as well.
Happy 90th Birthday, Noel Neill
1Tomorrow marks the 90th birthday of Noel Neill, who is most famous for her portrayal of Lois Lane in the Adventures of Superman television series from 1953-1958. She also played Lois in two Superman serials prior to the television series. In addition, she has had a number of Super-cameos and guest appearances over the years, including a cameo as young Lois’ mother in Superman (1978).
I had the pleasure of meeting Noel at Superman Celebration several years ago. She attends the Celebration each year, and she is as warm and gracious as you would hope. She truly is the “First Lady of Metropolis”.

Happy birthday, Noel!
Wonder Woman Day V
0Wonder Woman Day V is this Sunday. For those not familiar with the event, it is an annual all-ages event that has raised over $89,000 to help domestic violence survivors and their children.
Events are being held in Portland, OR and Flemington, NJ, but the highlight is always the silent auction. Over 300 artists have contributed art to be auctioned off, including Adam Hughes, Allison Sohn, Ethan Van Sciver, Aaron Lopresti and many more. Off-site bidding continues until tomorrow, so go check out some of the amazing artwork and help raise money for a very worthy cause.
