I’d like you to take a moment to post a comment telling us something you’re proud of, an achievement or project you’ve accomplished that you think is cool. Maybe it’s your blog, or a book you’ve written, or a particularly great illustration, or that you lost fifty pounds, or a volunteer organization you help out with, or the deck you built, or a photo of an awesome cap you knitted. Just anything that shows off your interests in a great way and that you want to share with the community.
Imagine it’s like we’re going around the room and you’re asked to introduce yourself by saying “Hi, I’m Jeff, and I _______.” So I’d probably say “Hi, I’m Jeff, and I built a web site that lets people make their own super hero drawings at heromachine.com”. I want to give you a chance to brag on yourself a little and to point the rest of us at something you’ve done or been involved with that you think is great. Or even pretty good. Or even just mildly interesting.
Lay it on us, String Bean!

I missed “Bad Costume Wednesday” yesterday, my apologies. So I’ll take that up today instead, with an interesting take on Superman’s costume:
It’s from the mid-Nineties “Hunter/Prey” mini-series. There are a few obvious tells that it’s from the Nineties. Can you spot them all? I’ll leave that as an exercise for you, the at-home viewer.
My favorite part is the sword, because why the heck does Superman need a sword? You think Doomsday’s going to fall to a bit of computer-generated sharpened metal? Please.
I also enjoy the yellow crotch flap. Because if there’s one thing a grown-ass man in spandex needs, it’s something dangling between his legs that practically screams “Yank me!”. I keep wondering what the Mother Box thinks he’s going to put in all those pouches. I guess maybe a change of Clark Kent vintage suits and hipster black-rim glasses? Maybe some Yoo-Hoo? I’d guess flying around toting all those extra straps would get pretty tiring, and a fellow needs his chocolatey pick-me-up.
You have to admire this approach, though. If you’re tired of a costume, just throw a bunch of random crap on top of it, and done! It’s simple, easy, and there’s so much more room for activities.
