USATODAY.com - Pounded by competition from discount retailers and increasingly shunned by kids moving on to fancy cell phones and iPods at younger ages, Toys R Us (TOY) says it might shed its toy business in a major restructuring.

Woodring animated

Woodring animated 08/17/2004 01:25 PM
Ever since I interviewed artist Jim Woodring back in 1995 for the bOING bOING Happy Mutant Handbook, I've been enamored with his surreal comix inspired by his childhood hallucinations and "psychological malfunctions." Now, Taruto Fuyama has animated Woodring's Frank character in a beautiful piece that somehow manages to perfectly express the dreamy tone and emotion of the comic. (Someone else's attempt here.) Fuyama won a Prize of Excellence for the work in the Japan Media Arts Festival. The animation is online in Real format. From the "Reason for the Award":

"...the greatest appeal of this work is that it had successfully expressed unique "newness" by combining 3D-CG and classical cartoon-like design. Alien creatures created by pasting comic frames to 3D-CG in a Gothic manner generate uncomfortable feelings, and these uncomfortable feelings that color the entire work feature this work's contemporary sensitivity."

Newts is a notesfile program, a news-like program for use as a message board. Newts is designed for UNIX-like systems, and resembles the Notesfiles program written early in the 1980s at the University at Urbana-Champaign. The client program included emulates the look and feel of Notesfiles, and the UIUC backend is compatible with Notesfiles data files. Future versions of Newts will include a separate daemon to manage multiple local and network connections, additional backends, and additional clients.

Changes:
The --time, --alternate, and --user options in notes were fixed. Strings now use quotes in the right way.

Art doesn't get any better than this. Look at this gorgeous portfolio of four prints by cartoonist Jim Woodring, using a special embossed printing process. The packaging is a beautiful Woodring-designed wonder, too. $300 and limited to 80 portfolios. According to an email I got from Woodring; they're going fast. Link< br clear="all">

Originally appearing in Return of the Jedi, then retroactively snuck into the special edition of The Empire Strikes Back, this vehicle transports high-ranking officials across the galaxy and features adjustable wings, landing gear, and room for the Emperor and his entourage.

Though not usually the topic of many conversations, the Imperial Gunner figure is sculpted after the soldiers who worked the weapons of the second death Star and not the first. Eagle-eyed star Wars fans will note that the guys operating the big laser in A new Hope wore large padded chest plates, where the ones in Return Of The Jedi, just like today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive, did their evil in non-restrictive black jumpsuits.

Dignitary 01/09/2004 09:55 PM
The Imperial Dignitary is the living testament that the Emperor was an impartial employer. Obviously the dictator was hiring these dignitaries based soling on their resumes and not on their appearance. Then again, Palpatine has proven to be a man that loved theatrics in all their ‘Look at me, I’m compensating!!!’glory, so maybe he did hire today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive only because he fell out of the ugly tree…

Imperial Dignitary Janus Greejatus plots and schemes his way into our Photo Archives today. Part of the Death Star Procession in Return of the Jedi, this grim-faced advisor to Emperor Palpatine comes with a support base and is the first member of the dastardly duo. A second dignitary is planned for later in the year, and can be seen on the back of the card.

It must have been a hard life for the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot. Not only did today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive have to live without a name (or face for that matter) of his own, he had to haul butt in a fast moving ball with two huge targets mounted on its sides and try making it through a battle without the luxury of shields of any kind. On a plus note, he did get to blow up defending a giant space orb of evil that, by design, tends to be built specifically to be inevitably destroyed by upstart rebels...

(Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit) 01/16/2004 11:05 AM
The Luke Skywalker (Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit) action figure is the only Power Of The Force figure based on costume or situation that wasn’t in Return Of The Jedi. Granted, one could argue the Han Solo (In Carbonite Chamber) could also fit into that category, but it wasn’t entirely based exclusively on the events of the other two films, so it loses out by default; making today’s addition to the Vintage Photo Archive stand alone in the crowd.
