Remember that podcast I started with my friends? Here is our latest episode. If it’s your first time listing, no sweat. We try to make each show welcoming for folks that have never listened before, so we actually introduce each host at the beginning of each show. Not many podcasts do that, sadly.
Setlist goes something like this: we talk about news, the books we’re reading, a special book club, and we read your letters to close out the show. Paperkeg is on iTunes as well.

life:
In April 1947, the most famous and, arguably, most beloved ballplayer of all-time was honored at Yankee Stadium on “Babe Ruth Day.” Sixty-thousand fans filled The House That Ruth Built to pay tribute to a player who, even then, had already transcended the sport and become not merely a national icon, but an international star — a man whose eye-popping numbers (714 career home runs, more than 2,800 hits, a .342 lifetime batting average, fer chrissake!) and larger-then-life personality and appetites captivated grown-ups and kids, alike.
Here, on the 65th anniversary of that April day when baseball stadiums everywhere stopped play and a nation listened to a broadcast of the heartfelt ceremony in the Bronx, LIFE.com presents rare pictures by Ralph Morse — including many that were never published in LIFE — from Babe Ruth Day, as well as from the Babe’s last public appearance a year later, in June 1948, mere months before he died.
Killer eye-patch, bro.

Folks use their iOS devices for email. We know that.
But, they also use the signature portion to let their recipients know what kind of device they are emailing from. Most keep it as is and have it say, “Sent from my iPhone.” Or, “Sent from my iPad.”
I was lucky enough to see that Christa Mrgan used “Sent from my pocket” and quickly usurped that for my iPhone email signature.
However, I can’t think of anything equally as witty for my iPad signature.
“Sent from my lap?” No.
“Sent from my backback?” No.
Pretty much the thing is useless until I can come up with something. Right now I don’t use an email signature on my iPad.
Anyone have any non-terrible ideas?
“Masterpost.”
It’s nothing new when I see my esteemed collegue MandyBu upset about something.
It could be a change in the weather, or some awful new healthy food she’s trying out.
She complains a lot, is what I’m trying to say.
It seems like there is some new(?) thing happening on Tumblr where someone posts a “Masterpost” to CBR/CBZs of entire runs of comic books or famous story arcs. They include links to download the files and read them as you please.
Whatever your stance on pirating books, it’s generally considered weaksauce to spread the wealth like that.
If you’d like to help out creators keep doing what their doing, buy the comics in a comic shop, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or even our own comiXology.
Otherwise, what’s already out there will be the only thing out there.
Quick, go buy some Atomic Robo!
