[This seems like the correct place to point out that, for the Balioc's Choice Awards, I consider only works that were first published with the last 100 years. Otherwise it would just be "surprise, old classics are often classics for a reason."]

**********

...this year was much like the last several years, only somehow even more so. Not in a good way, I fear. My current lifestyle continues not to be super-conducive to reading, and writing a weekendlong LARP kind of knocked the wind out of me, both during and after. If it weren't for a massive silly-fun historical-mystery binge in December, my numbers here would be shameful. And you will notice that a whole lot of the things on that list are very short.

Most of the contemporary fiction was pretty much what I expected it to be. There were few real standouts. Things by good authors continued to be mostly good; things by shlocky authors continued to be shlock.

I should probably drive less for my various solitary recreational jaunts, just so that I can spend more of that time with a book. I should definitely read more old stuff, because old stuff continues to be the most reliably rewarding. (The cream of the cream of the old stuff, anyway, which is...what you read.)

I continue to be Extremely In the Market for recommendations of really good, deeply-informative nonfiction.

Naming Conventions: EMESIS BLUE is a Beautiful Name for a Baby Girl

analysis below read more :)

Detective Mannix and Lieutenant Columbo

[I.D.: Spy introducing himself and Soldier at the investigation at Scout's house: "I am Detective Mannix. This is Lieutenant Columbo (17:57-18:00) /end I.D.]

Funny enough, these two are referred to in the end credits as The Detective and The Soldier respectively. Are these their actual names? Fake aliases made up by Spy? Who knows!

So if their names sound familiar to any, it's in reference to two pop culture detectives! (I will now read the Wikipedia articles on these two LMAO)

Mannix falls under a very archetypical private eye, going about investigations by opposing his higher ups and finding his own solutions.

Interestingly, I believe this parallels the nature of Spy's own investigation, confusing and raising suspicion among government authorities. I doubt it would be a reach to assume that he and Soldier are acting on their own accord with the amount of trickery and probably illegal activity it takes to gain all their knowledge. (Seriously, did no one worry about the whole Soldier on the police radios ordeal?)

Colombo is known for his unassuming everyman appearance, acting clueless or bringing up seemingly unrelated evidence to slowly corner suspects into incriminating themselves or to simply confess.

While none of these comparisons necessarily scream "Soldier," it is interesting to consider how many on the receiving end of a good old-fashioned Colomboing are the wealthy upper-class.

[I.D.: Soldier repeatedly shooting Blutarch, the former of which is sitting in a black car. (1:40:46) /end I.D.]

A good old-fashioned Colomboing.

Whether this is their actual names or fake names made up by Spy is a funny thought to me. Keep in mind that the end credits does canonise some names while decanonising others, such as with Scout and Medic.

[I.D.: 2 screenshots. First is of Scout's termination notice. He is referred to as "Patient SC-10498 (Jeremy E)." (18:11) The second is a credit card of Cameron Nichols featuring as Scout. /end I.D.]

One such instance is Scout. We know his name is Jeremy in the canon of TF2 thanks to the comics, and yet he is still referred to as "Scout."

... Don't tell me his last name is "E." for "Elbertson" like Jerma, this is inhumane.

We know the files are likely trustworthy enough considering how Medic is given similar treatment.

[I.D.: Medic's termination notice, his picture captioned "Dr. FRITZ LUDWIG / authorized personnel of Builder's League United Industries. "(18:51) /end I.D.]

...His name in the end credits shows up later in this post. I'm not putting it up again. Trust me, it says Ludwig, which was canonised in the comics.

So the end credits can be a little inconsistent!

So in context of Spy and Soldier, it is interesting to consider whether the names Mannix and Columbo are their actual names and an interesting reference by the writers or a fake alias by Spy.

To be honest, I didn't read the description of the video, which confirms that Spy is a detective, and just decided he absolutely could not be telling the truth when introducing himself as a detective. I kind of think it is cute to imagine he sees himself as just (and committing so many crimes in doing so), as well as Soldier as smarter than people give him credit for.

Which would assume Spy thinks nice things about Soldier though. :(

Dr. Fritz Ludwig, Cyclops, and Stalingrad

On to the rest of them, we have...

[I.D.: Credits card for Chad Payne featuring as Dr. Fritz Ludwig, The Detective, Cyclops, Maynard Conagher, Redmond Mann, The Hunter, Agent Stemmons, and Stalingrad. /end I.D.]

Wait.

[I.D.: TF2 wiki page of Soldier's domination lines of Medic, Heavy, and Demo. Highlighted for each character are the lines following lines:

Medic is "You just got dominated, Fritz!"

For Heavy is "Checkmate, Stalingrad!"

Demo has two highlighted quotes: "I love your death, cyclops; your death is sweet to me like love is sweet." and "You're like the Cyclops of Greek myth; except you are Scottish, and I hate you!" /end I.D.]

I love how Fortress Films took Soldier using vaguely ethnic-sounding names for characters as an insult and just running with it. It's not a bad thing, I just need the people to know that Soldier said "your death is sweet to me like love is sweet."

People are so mean to Demo. :( Yeah, I know it's not unique to Sodlier to point out the man has only one eye, but I think it's funny enough that three characters' names in film match Soldier's domination lines.

Heavy being called Stalingrad is real funny, especially since he has a given name in the comics--Mikhail.

Stalingrad isn't actually a name for a person. Rather, it's the former name of the Russian city Volograd. It breaks down into "Stalin" and "-grad," the Russian suffix for settlements (like the English "-town"). It's like naming your kid Bakersfield!

And now I skip this part of analysis because talking about history, especially in context of war, for an animated SFM with cartoon men fighting feels weird.

While a funny coincidence, Medic actually shares a name with the director of M (1931), Fritz Lang. (M (1931) is the VHS that Scout steals from Medic.)

Zed and Maynard Conagher

[I.D.: Credits card for Anton Pelizzari featuring as: Zed & Dell Conagher, injured police officer, funeral director, the bartender, police chief, and the limo driver. /end I.D.]

On the topic of films, isn't it real interesting how we don't learn the names of the Conaghers who run the Conagher Slaughterhouse until the credits? Their names are Zed and Maynard Conagher.

It's a Pulp Fiction (1994)* reference, in spite of being a good 16 years early to reference it accurately. It features accomplices sharing a name with the brothers, who fall under the archetype of hillbillies.

*Exercise caution in doing your own research on these characters, content directly related to them contains sexual assault.

Zed from Pulp Fiction is shot and killed with his own shotgun, mirroring the death of the second Conagher to his own sentry. Given these parallels, it's hardly a stretch to guess which is Zed and which is Maynard.

It's also a more exact science than comparing vocal performances with the other listed roles of the voice actors! I got the same answers though. Does this mean anything.

Honestly, it just means that there were some pretty solid voice actors on the cast. We should appreciate them more! Let's go rewatch the end credits and appreciate how much life they brought to the animation. :)

...the more I look, I realise there are more references to Pulp Fiction than I anticipated. There will be an attachment to my thoughts on this later. When I post it.

Okay question, would the daycare/daycare academy universe versions(sorta) get along with the Mc heroes versions of themselves? (Ik Sabre isn't Peter so- just like- idk main characters of each got thrown somewhere so y e -) Just a random question :333 also do send me more art if you can /nf I love ur art sm :3

technically peter does have a daycare variant, aka the councilor of yandere camp-

anyways, i'm honestly not fully sure, so most of it's guess work.

long ramble!

Ryan of the daycare is this chaotic child that often throws people under the bus, he literally attempted to trap and blow up bobby in a train engine {to be fair, the child is an asshole.} in season 1 of daycare because Tina broke up with him briefly.

while Ryan from heroes is more calm and mature. he's saving money by eating cheap, he probably also knows how to do medicine stuffs.

so idk, give them tea and they'll chill out for as long as the cup has a drop.

Tina The Tiger {TTT according to her initials-} is a bit of a yandere, extremely possessive over Ryan, gets jealous easily and acts brash. she also runs the equivalent of a mafia/gang.

Tina, hero universe, is more calm. she's clingy, yes, but at the same time she's keeping quiet about the fact that for once she wants a day where it's just her and Ryan.

honestly, they'd probably gossip a whole bunch with each other. maybe mope about Ryan not being as into the relationship as they are.

Goldy in the daycare is chaos incarnate, has a reputation for being absurdly stupid, yet still knows a bad situation when she sees one. she loves toys, probably is eternally cursed to be searching for her long lost love, which i think was a rocking horse. also her dad is literal pure gold.

Goldy working in the heroes universe is not that observant, or at the very least doesn't make the first move in terms of romance. that isn't to say she's completely repulsed by the idea of some kind of chemistry, as she puts a kiss on Unicorn Mann's cheek after the fight with Dr Ostrich.

these two can probably get along the most, having multiple similarities to pull from.

Unicorn in daycare, he's a mix of anxious, confident, lonely, and smart depending who you ask. he's a massive hodge podge of a being that has literally gotten his emotions split apart, and he's probably holding himself together with duct tape or hand screwed screws. without leaving canon, he is a copy cat in the daycare universe.

Luke is almost the same. almost. his emotions haven't been fractured, so he's still basically entirely whole. he's also got a secondary voice in his head.

these two have canon reason on why they will not meet, due to all the ucms having something in their systems to act as multiverse repellents with each other. it isn't naturally there, as unicorn{friends} could still go off and find ucm sr. but they'd probably be chill.

and for absolutely less than no reason, chicken mann meeting small ucm would be just watching him pause, stare down at the other, before one insult goes and they're back in the streets fighting each other.

or daycare ucm meets peter and they are just chill cat energy with each other.

Fernseh-Helden

Erinnerungen, die bleiben...

Robert Addie als Guy of Gisburne (leider allzu jung verstorben), der Gegenspieler von Robin Hood hatte es mir total angetan. Ich glaube, ich war eine von vielen, die sich in der ersten Episode prompt in ihn verliebt haben. He was such a cute guy! Sein jugendliches Auftreten, verbunden mit einem wundervollen Testosteron-Timbre, seine Autorität, die oftmals ins Wanken geriet, wenn er in ein Fettnäpfchen stieg, und sein verzweifeltes Suchen nach Anerkennung beim weiblichen Geschlecht (meine Güte, wie konnte man so einen Mann ablehnen?), seine imponierende Größe, seine Reitkenntnisse.. all das trug dazu bei, dass er bis heute unvergessen bleibt und auch in Zukunft sein wird. Leider ist er viel zu früh verstorben (an Lungenkrebs), RIP, best Guy of Gisburne ever!

Als erster mir in Erinnerung gebliebener Held der Mattscheibe ist mir das inzwischen leider von uns gegangene Spitzohr - mit der manchmal ebenso spitzen Zunge- Mr. Spock (L. Nimoy). Seine Coolness, selbst in brenzligen Situationen, seine Selbstironie und unerschütterliche Loyalität waren für mich einfach nur "faszinierend". Als einzige emotionale Regung ein Hochziehen der ohnehin schon nach oben zeigenden Brauen oder Andeutung eines milden Lächelns war schon das höchste der Gefühle beim grün-blütigen Vulkanier. Wie oft hab ich diese umwerfende Coolness herbeigesehnt, während meiner Schulzeit vor allem die Logik, die mir so sehr fehlte, wie bewunderte ich die Helden im Pyjama-Look und schwarzen Stiefelchen (die Damen in atemberaubend kurzen Kleidchen), die sich jeder brenzligen Situation im All (oder auch komischen: "Kennen Sie Tribbles?") unerschrocken stellten. Sollte Spocks Umgang mit seinen Mitmenschen und Eltern auch von einer gewissen Unterkühlung geprägt gewesen sein, ich wünschte mir diese Nüchternheit zuweilen nach Austeilung der Mathematik-Schularbeiten-Hefte. Ach, wieder ein Nichtgenügend, aber das ist doch kein Weltuntergang, ich verstehe das ganze Theater um die Noten nicht. Piep. Hier Bowman. Ende.

Dann war da etwas später auch der ultracoole Dr. House, stets die Lösung für schwierige medizinischen (Not-) Fälle parat, fies zu seinen Mitarbeitern (und Patienten) und meistens halb high durch Vicodin. So fies wollte ich auch zuweilen sein, wagte es aber nicht, aus Gründen der zwischenmenschlich erforderlichen Harmonie. Oh ja, man wünschte manchem schon mal die Pest an den Hals, (selbst das konnte Dr. House diagnostizieren, meistens war es aber Lupus. ) Leider kann ich die Serie aus hypochondrischen Gründen nicht mehr nachverfolgen. Absolut nicht mehr.

Widmen wir uns lieber meinem Lieblings-Neurotiker Adrian Monk, in dem ich einige meiner eigenen Unzulänglichkeiten entdeckte. Z.B. Höhenangst, Angst vor Milch und vor Bakterien. Dr. Google schlägt mir weiters vor: Akrophobie, Aviophobie, Canophobie, Ophiophobie, Klaustrophobie, Achluophobie, Aphephosmophobie, Agaraphobie, , Dentophobie, Enetophobie, etc., eventuell Asperger . Monk schlittert schon mal in einer sozialen Interaktion von einer komischen Situation in die andere. Er liebt seinen Psychiater Dr. Charles Kroger, (Stanley Kamel, leider verstorben) heiß und wurde mit seinem einarmigen Kollegen nicht recht warm, abgesehen von den Gruppensitzungen (eek!). Meine Eltern nervt/e er etwas, ebenso ab und zu seine zwei Assistentinnen; ich finde ihn drollig, er hat was von Mr. Bean, und ich wünschte, ich hätte manchmal auch ein nüchternes, realistisches, nicht in den Wolken schwebendes Beiwagerl (schon wieder ein schulischer Ausdruck), das mir ein Tuch reicht, um Türen zu öffnen. Und nachher zum Desinfizieren der Hände. Ich bin aber damit bis jetzt recht gut gefahren, auch wenn manch einer die Augen verdreht.

Ausflug nach Colorado Springs zu Dr. Quinn und Byron Sully "Es schwebt was in der Luft: Testosteron oh, Byron Sully, der hat viel davon..." Für Joe Lando in der Lederhose war es eine ziemliche Herausforderung, den Sully authentisch darzustellen. In der Prairie spielte er den emotional leicht angegriffenen Sully, braun gebrannt, einen Freund der Indianer und einen oft wortkargen Naturburschen. Im echten Leben ist Joe Lando eher blass unter dem vielen make up und hasst Schmutz unter seinen Fingernägeln. Sully lebt in vollkommener Harmonie mit der Natur und seinen Bewohnern, allerdings ist er im wirklichen Leben allergisch auf fast alles, was darin vorkommt, einschließlich der Hundehaare des Haus"wolfes". Sully reitet, nach anfänglichem Zögern, doch recht flott stets ohne Sattel und wirft gekonnt den Tomahawk, wenn es einmal nötig erscheint, aber Joe Lando's Allerwertester musste nach jedem Ausritt mit Eis gekühlt werden. Er und Michaela liegen sich oft in den Haaren, meist wegen Kleinigkeiten, aber das Happy End gestaltet sich meistens mit: Du hattest Recht, Sully, .. nein, du hattest Recht, Michaela...

O deputado Dr. Vicente Caropreso (PSDB) recebeu em seu gabinete a visita dos vereadores mirins  do município de Guaramirim, nesta terça-feira (16). O deputado destacou a importância do projeto que visa incentivar a participação dos adolescentes na política e do idealizador do projeto, o então vereador do município Marcos Mannes, que faleceu em 2010. Ele também tratou do trabalho no Parlamento catarinense e apresentou ações do seu mandato que estão beneficiando a cidade e a região, como a duplicação da rodovia  entre Jaraguá do Sul e Guaramirim. O grupo estava acompanhado do prefeito do município, Luís Antônio Chiodini, e dos vereadores Tiago Stoinski e Professora Maria Rosana Zermiani Franz. “Troca de experiência importante para mim e para eles. É um projeto muito rico, que fortalece a nossa democracia, os valores da cidadania e  aproxima o trabalho legislativo da nossa  juventude”, afirmou o deputado. Ele frisou que, além da questão legislativa, da análise, apresentação e votação de projetos de lei, a função parlamentar envolve a representação política. “Somos os porta-vozes das demandas dos municípios da nossa região. Batalhamos  por recursos no orçamento do estado para  obras e investimentos  que terão impacto na qualidade de vida da população, seja na saúde, na educação ou na infraestrutura.” Para exemplificar, citou ações do seu mandato em prol do município, como a duplicação do trecho estadualizado da BR-280, entre Guaramirim e Jaraguá do Sul, a licitação da duplicação da SC-108, entre Guaramirim e Massaranduba, a instalação de aparelhos de ar condicionado em várias escolas estaduais e a destinação de R$ 1 milhão para a prefeitura realizar a pavimentação do acesso ao distrito industrial que será transformado no Complexo Municipal Multimodal, além do apoio ao funcionamento de entidades como os Bombeiros Voluntários.Fonte: Agência ALESC - Gabinetes

Chapter Twenty Eight: Rusty

Author: Chris Bannor

Wu DaQi had never felt more helpless in his life. The news played on the large screen across from him, but his head was full of live video feeds as he watched the chaos that took the lower levels of the city.

His heart was breaking for Yi.

More than anything, he wanted to pull Yi into his arms and keep him from the mayhem outside their safe house. It wasn’t who they were though. Hiding from the world and the horrors outside wouldn’t make anything better. They had to face it and see where this new horror would lead.

Yi hadn’t moved in hours, not since martial law had been declared. Yi stood silently staring out into the city, resting his head against the window. DaQi saw Yi’s back straighten at the same time the news across from him flashed to alert them to an urgent report.

“We have just received breaking news. The police have released a statement concerning the case of possible AI let loose on our city streets. A doctor has been taken into custody by agents of Mann Enterprises. There is no indication of what chargers Dr. Atieno Obuo might face, but the doctor was a part of Mariner Tech’s science division before she was fired for selling corporate information to Safe-E Tech.”

The screen turned off the reporter and showed an image of Obuo being led into Mariner Tech’s corporate office.

“As you can see, the doctor is now in custody. Police will soon know what hand she had in the development of sentient artificial intelligence and what she knows about the current location of these two dangerous robots.”

DaQi muted the screen as it moved on to images of the Piles again.

“I thought she’d made it out safely,” Yi said. He walked away from the window and took a seat on the couch across from the screen. “She had connections to stay alive that long. I hoped they’d see her outside of this mess.”

“You know what this is.” DaQi needed him thinking clearly tonight, but it was obvious he was worried about his friends.

“Yeah, but that doesn’t change anything, does it?”

Wu DaQi ran a hand through his hair. “No. Even if it is a trap, we need to get her out of there. She did too much for us over the years.”

“They won’t hurt her.”

“We don’t know that for certain though.”

Yi nodded. “And that’s exactly why we have to get to her. They won’t keep her at the corporate offices. They made too much of a show of bringing her in there. They’re using the crowd to help keep an eye on us and any escape we might try to make.”

“We don’t know who she’s connected to, but it’s high enough they’ve kept her alive this long. They’re using her arrest to bait us, and they’ll move her someplace safe.”

“So, we just need to figure out where that someplace safe is. So how do we do that? She gave me an earpiece that would reach her, but even if she managed to keep them from finding it, she’d have made it untraceable.” Yi said.

DaQi thought about Mariner and the information he’d learned over the years. About what he knew from the last seven years working in various positions around Mann Enterprises and Mariner itself. “The stolen tech,” he realized. “They knew where it was, but Salin kept putting us on the detail because he was trying to get you to come back for me. I don’t think he knew what was going on. Which means he probably didn’t pass along the fact that we were tagging the stolen merchandise. Before they let the Piles burn they would have retrieved it and taken it someplace safe.”

“Follow the tech and you think they’ll have her there too?”

“They aren’t going to worry about securing too many of their locations against the raids and riots. The ones they do are important.”

“So, we just need to find the merchandise you tagged, tap into the properties owned by Mariner Tech, and see which ones they’re securing.”

“And then we go get Obuo.”

“Oh good.” Chan Yi smiled for the first time since they’d come home. “It’s been almost a week since I last broke into a Mariner Tech building. I was afraid my skills might get rusty.”

Author's Note: And now Obuo has been pulled into this mess! Do you think she's really alright? Is the person who kept her out of trouble so far powerful enough to keep her alive now? Or are Yi and DaQi going after a corpse?

Arm oder reich

Arm oder Reich · Philip E. Humbert · Kurzgeschichte

Eines Tages nahm ein Mann seinen Sohn mit aufs Land, um ihm zu zeigen, wie arme Leute leben. Vater und Sohn verbrachten daher einen Tag und eine Nacht auf einer Farm einer sehr armen Familie. Als sie wieder zurückkehrten, fragte der Vater seinen Sohn: »Wie war dieser Ausflug?« »Sehr interessant!« antwortete der Sohn. »Und hast du gesehen, wie arm Menschen sein können?« »Oh ja, Vater, das habe ich gesehen.« »Was hast du also gelernt?« fragte der Vater. Und der Sohn antwortete: »Ich habe gesehen, dass wir einen Hund haben und die Leute auf der Farm haben vier. Wir haben einen Swimmingpool, der bis zur Mitte unseres Gartens reicht, und sie haben einen See, der gar nicht mehr aufhört. Wir haben prächtige Lampen in unserem Garten und sie haben die Sterne. Unsere Terrasse reicht bis zum Vorgarten und sie haben den ganzen Horizont.« Der Vater war sprachlos. Und der Sohn fügte noch hinzu: »Danke Vater, dass du mir gezeigt hast, wie arm wir sind.« (Quelle: Dr. Philip E.

"Das große Leipzig-Autoabenteuer: Freundschaftsleasing entpuppt sich als raffinierter Betrugsfall!"

Mitten in der faszinierenden Kulisse eines internationalen Flughafens beginnt die Geschichte von Stefan E., einem 38-jährigen Mann aus Athen, der am Flughafen Düsseldorf landet. Die Szene nimmt eine dramatische Wendung, als Polizisten Fälschungsmerkmale an seinem Ausweis entdecken. Was zunächst nach einem Routine-Check aussieht, entwickelt sich zu einem atemberaubenden Fluchtversuch und einer spektakulären Festnahme, die die Bundespolizeiinspektion Flughafen Düsseldorf am 22. September enthüllte.

Hinter diesem aufsehenerregenden Vorfall verbirgt sich ein weitreichender Betrugsfall, der Leipzig erschüttert. Über 100 Menschen wurden mit raffinierten Versprechungen in ein Netzwerk verwickelt, das Luxusauto-Leasing als "Freundschaftsleasing" tarnete. Während am Flughafen Düsseldorf der vermeintliche Drahtzieher Stefan E. festgenommen wird, ermittelt die Staatsanwaltschaft Leipzig bereits gegen ihn.

Die Betrugsmasche, orchestriert von Unternehmer "Alexander Szymanowski" und seiner Firma "Taste & Prosper GmbH & Co. KG", entpuppt sich als ausgeklügeltes Schneeballsystem. Die Opfer, rund 115 Personen aus verschiedenen Gesellschaftsschichten, darunter sogar Mitarbeiter aus Polizei- und Justizkreisen, haben mit verlockenden Leasingverträgen hohe finanzielle Verluste erlitten.

Die scheinbar attraktiven Leasingvereinbarungen verlangen von den "Leasingnehmern", ihre Fahrzeuge mit Werbung zu bekleben und sie an Mitarbeiter der Firma zu überlassen. Im Gegenzug verspricht die Firma, sämtliche Kosten zu übernehmen. Doch die Realität sieht anders aus: Die Fahrzeuge werden zu überhöhten Preisen finanziert, und das Geld fließt in ein undurchsichtiges System. Der vermeintliche "Gewinn" dient lediglich dazu, die monatlichen Darlehensraten zu erstatten und das betrügerische Modell am Laufen zu halten.

Trotz der spektakulären Festnahme von Stefan E. und den aufgedeckten Machenschaften bleiben viele Fragen offen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft Leipzig hält sich bedeckt, während Anwalt Jannis Witte von Dr. Fingerle Rechtsanwälte weiterhin Licht in das Dunkel dieses hochkomplexen Betrugsfalls zu bringen versucht. #LeipzigBetrug #Freundschaftsleasing #CallcenterMaschen

New Fiction 2023

I struggled with the idea that I need to keep up with everything new, when it's evident that I don't want to. Movies are easy thanks to subscription services like A-List (and a pathological need to get out of the house), but I was consistently happy to dwell in the past for reading and video games.

So I think I'll be more chill about fiction this year. Just follow what feels right.

2 min read Join NASA to Celebrate Worm Design, Influence with Original Designer Dr. Christine Mann Darden holding a model of Mach II in the Unitary Tunnel at NASA’s Langley Research Center on Aug. 18, 1990. Darden is pictured in a lab coat with a NASA ‘worm’ logotype patch across her back. NASA / Carol Petrachenko Chapman Media are invited to hear a discussion on the design and cultural significance of the worm logotype with NASA and its creator Richard Danne at 11:30 a.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 6, at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. The logotype, a simple, red unique type style of the word NASA, replaced the agency’s official logo (meatball) for several decades beginning in the 1970s before it was retired. The worm has since been revived for limited use. The event will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and on the agency’s website. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms. Following opening remarks by Marc Etkind, associate administrator for NASA’s Office of Communications at NASA Headquarters, Danne and David Rager, creative art director at NASA, will provide remarks followed by a panel discussion with Danne and others including: Bert Ulrich, entertainment and branding liaison, NASA Headquarters Michael Beirut, designer, Pentagram Shelly Tan, design reporter, The Washington Post (moderator) Julia Heiser, head of live event merchandise, Amazon Music NASA experts and Danne are available for on-site interviews, as well as remote interviews after the event. Media interested in participating in person must RSVP to the NASA Headquarters newsroom by 3 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 3, at hq-media@mail.nasa.gov. NASA’s media accreditation policy is online. The televised event will take place in the agency’s Webb Auditorium in the West Lobby inside NASA Headquarters located at 300 E St. SW in Washington.
