HOME FROM HOME

The Art References has advice for any aspiring writers or artists with "The Ten Commandments of Working at Home"

"Working off-site doesn't just mean the comfort of sipping mai tais while wearing your fuzzy slippers, although that does sound pretty comofrtable. To work at home is also to be distracted by all the comforts of home. Xeth Feinberg suggests getting up at the crack of 10 A.M., spending no more than four or five hours on Facebook, and enver answering the phone if you can use e-mail. In addition to Mr. Feinberg's suggestions, I'd like to present my "10 Commandments of Working at Home," with the hope that it might not oly help make for a more efficient workday, but also ensure the work might be done by 7 P.M., giving the worker a clearly defined work time/home life boundary."

MUSIC TO IRON TO

Cover art and a track-list for the soundtrack for this summer's sure-to-be-blockbuster Iron Man 3 have been revealed.

"First up, the bad news: there is a noticeable lack of AC/DC on the "Iron Man 3" soundtrack. I guess the people behind the album figured that nothing could top the show-stopping inclusion of "Shoot To Thrill" in "Marvel's the Avengers" (one of the best moments in a film comprised entirely of best moments). The good news is that this album has a healthy mix of selections from indie rock and alternative bands, including critical darlings Passion Pit and hot band Neon Trees."

WIRED WORLD

Wired.com takes a look at the various comic book apps available.

"While virtually every comic publisher has a standalone app, ComiXology's overarching reader has become the dominant force in the field. With dozens of publishers and same-day releases, it's an apt competitor for your local shop; with navigation that lets you effortlessly zoom in and pore over one panel at a time, it's enough to go digital and never look back."
