Young Daniel Clowes

Comic artist Daniel Clowes of Eightball fame says:

“I’ve always just wanted to be a cartoonist. From the time I was three years old, I had a stack of 300 comic books in my room that my older brother had left me. I just pored over them hour after hour. I’m sure if I had a computer or TV or something else, I would just go, “OK, comic books, I’m done with that.” But they hit me at a primal time in my development. I could never really shake it.”

ZD.Net UK, a sister publication of the recently blacklisted-by-Google CNet, is issuing an apology. Sort of. They say: “Google has decided that search engines should not be used to collate data. We wish to say sorry for believing otherwise.”

Google Images Increases Size

Google announced a new total image size count on the Google Images homepage. Gary Price says, “Remember, Yahoo and Google’s numbers are just claims and they’re mire about bragging rights and for keeping the buzz going especially in the non-search community. Many other factors (relevance, freshness, etc.) are what really matter."
