This Is A Modern World
I've always like the Mods, they had the best clothes, the best music and they were in the best fights. MODREVIVAL is a very cool website –even if poorly designed– about this great urban tribe.

Viva Lucha
HERE's an amazing online gallery of Lucha Libre inspired artwork by a super talented group of artsits including Art Toy rockstars Tim Biskup, Bwana Spoons, and Martin Ontiveros. It's co-curated by Jorge R. Gutierrez. Ever heard of him? You should! More on him soon.

EagleCam
I am very happy to have discovered the Biodiversity Research Institute's EAGLECAM! There is very limited scientific research on the nesting behaviors of Bald Eagles. To increase awareness and study these beautiful birds, a webcam was placed 70 feet high in a white pine tree on the coast of Maine near a Bald Eagles' nest. The bald eagle couple that has been using this nest have successfully raised roughly 20 offspring in the last 13 years at this very nest site. It's impossible to see anything of significance at night...but the images captured during the day can be beautiful. It's a very exciting time right now because the egg that has been incubating is expected to hatch sometime in the next week. You can check out the live video HERE. You can see reloaded video stills HERE. You can also read up on the latest information on their daily blog HERE.

Wizard World Los Angeles
When Muttpop Bob and I are going to a comic book convention, it's always the same: I complain from when I enter till I leave. "I'm thirsty, I'm tired, I wanna go home, etc." The poor Muttpop Bob is keeping his cool and don't say anything about my behavior. A few weeks ago we were at the WIZARD WORLD in Los Angeles, and suddenly I stopped complaining. Why? Because I found these amazing books... The first one is a novel with the MAJOR MATT MASON character, I don't know if I'm ever gonna read it but it's an awesome little book. The second is a TWILIGHT ZONE comics, I bought it for the cover and I didn't even realize it was a comic. The last one is an ugly pop up book featuring THE INCREDIBLE HULK, so ugly that it's beautiful. I can't wait for the next convention.
