Batman beats Superman (yet again)
It was reported days ago that the highest auction ever was sold at $1 million for a mint condition Action Comics #1 featuring the first appearance of Superman. Gosh that sounds good. badass. and rich.
But that will not do for Bruce Wayne. Today, it was reported that that record was broken, although with just a relatively small margin, but broken nevertheless. The highest auction for a comic book is now at a record of $1,075,500.00 for Detective Comics #27. That's right, your eyes do not deceive you. This particular item happens to feature the very first appearance of Batman (the cover of the comics is shown on the picture on the left). Full story here.
Ask me anyday, who'd win in a fight between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent. And i'd tell you the same thing everyday.

devotion to duty
i was at the office until 9pm today. definitely the latest i've been stuck in the office for something not directly work-related. see i'm part of a creative team there, and i have 3 short video assignments to do. 'creative team' you wonder? well, i'll explain that on later posts.
the point i'm driving at is this: i would never stay until 9pm at the office doing work. as in work-work. the only reason i stayed late tonight was because the shots i wanted to take needed darkness, and i couldn't turn off the lights while people are still working. so there. talk about devotion to duty. but what duty? that's the question i've been trying to answer since i started working for "the man". how far am i willing to go to be productive? to do.. this?
i wouldn't want to dig deeper into this question because it'll reveal a more serious one: what the hell do i want to do with my life? so i'll put it on hold. (if only a soothing music tone would play right about now)
saw this comic strip online on www.xkcd.com --which offers short daily humor to my increasingly bland life--about the most devoted employee in the world.
and that just proves my idea that geeks will rule the world.
