Steven Seagal in Kazakhstan, plus, pics from Kazakh Fashion Week: "As we learned from his recent open letter to Vladimir Putin asking for the Russian Prime Minister to support immortality research, Steven Seagal is a great friend to the Russian people, and even 'considers himself Russian,' despite being an Irish Jew from Fullerton who wears kimonos. Seagal was recently in neighboring Astana, Kazakhstan to attend a star-studded International Action Film Festival whose other luminaries included poetry superstar Michael Madsen. During the press conference, Seagal brought up his idea for a Genghis Khan epic, which he's apparently been talking about since 1998. In fairness, if there's one thing we know about Steven Seagal, it's that he doesn't keep track of space and time too well. Here's my favorite badly-translated account of the event:"

nerdbastards.com | Top 10 Most Influential Nerds in Comics
nerdbastards.com | Top 10 Most Influential Nerds in Comics: "Comics are a wellspring of nerd power. Nearly all of us, whether our true love is film, TV or Dungeons and Dragons, still get into comics now and then, and for a lot of us comics are the bread and butter of the nerd world. With that in mind, we thought we’d take a moment to look at the present state of American comics and try to identify the major players, the movers and the shakers, the ones who got us here and the ones who will take us further. Keep in mind as you read that we’re not trying to name the best or the coolest, but the most influential. This is about who’s got their hands in the action, OK? It’s also about who’s alive, so don’t crying foul because we didn’t put Kirby or Eisner on the list. Click the jump to read on, and if you see someone we missed, start your own list in the comments section."

Anti-PowerPoint Party - Boing Boing
Anti-PowerPoint Party - Boing Boing: "The Swiss Anti-PowerPoint Party has been founded to ban the use of PowerPoint: 'According to the APPP, the use of presentation software costs the Swiss economy 2.1 billion Swiss francs (US$2.5 billion) annually, while across the whole of Europe, presentation software causes an economic loss of €110 billion (US$160 billion). APPP bases its calculations on unverified assumptions about the number of employees attending presentations each week, and supposes that 85 percent of those employees see no purpose in the presentations.' The party's founder has -- not coincidentally -- written a book about PowerPoint's evils (he recommends flip-charts instead). (via /.)"
