Facebook and your privacy

Found this on Digital Village on KFPK. It seems Mark Zuckerberg has to know your business, even after you have logged out of Facebook. Anything to make an extra buck.

The procedure to keep Facebook off your back is listed here:

Did you ever have the feeling you were being watched?

Tove Jansson

I stumbled across a copy of "Who will comfort Toffle" while on an expedition to Hi-De-Ho Comics in Santa Monica last week. I had seen some of the Moomin books before, but it never quite clicked in my head that it was all written and drawn by Tove Jansson.

 

Anyway, there were some interesting characters in Jansson's work, besides the Moomins. Earnest, yet surreal at the same time, Jansson's characters grapple with the mysteries of life, along with the humdrum chores that go with it. And also some very strange neighbors:

Something about the work made me feel young again, as corny as that sounds. It took me back to when I was little, and all ladies were lovely, mysterious giants.

Sorry I didn't find these books sooner. But it made sitting on the 405 with an overheating radiator worth the trip.

Wander over Yonder - Sylvia

Okay, this will get me in trouble: I gave Wander's dino-horse-friend Sylvia a "makeover", and turned her into a torch song singer. From what I've seen of Sylvia's character, I'm sure she would hate it.
Maybe it's her sister, or a close cousin. For what it's worth, someone on deviantART liked another one of my Sylvia drawings SO much, he gave my makeover a makeover.

Here she is with some slapdash Photoshop coloring. I picture her here singing "What's new"

More screwing around with Photoshop; I'm surprised no one hasn't done this before.
