Black Asians in Giant Robot magazine





Black Asians in Giant Robot magazine

An article on the indigenous blacks of Southeast Asia, aka the Negritos, has been published in the current issue of Giant Robot magazine (Issue 64).

Giant Robot is a bi-monthly magazine whose primary focus is Asian and Asian-American pop culture. Articles in GR also regularly cover a broad range of subjects, including explorations of Asia's varied cultures and peoples.

In the current issue of Giant Robot, Paco Taylor (editor of Kung Fu Grip! zine), offers a thoughtful introduction to Asia's oldest, but most little known peoples: the black Asians of Southern Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and the Andaman Islands.

According to the writer, "This piece was inspired by my father, who spent time in Southeast Asia as a young Marine. The subject is one that's close to my heart and it is an honor to have the chance to cover it in the pages of Giant Robot. I hope that readers will give this issue [of GR] a glance."



Giant Robot, a 15-year old publication, is carried by the nation's largest book sellers, including Borders and Barnes & Noble. It is also on the racks of newsstands and comic book shops across the country. Look for your copy of Giant Robot (GR64) today!

How To: Write like an Architect!

How To: Write like an Architect!: "

Typography can be a lot of fun if you really get in to it. Sometimes it can take a lot of time though if you’re creating it with a lot of detail and thought behind it. Usually these types of typography is the most appreciated by designers and viewers of any design blog. It is important to understand that typography is a way to generate text using stylized concepts that brings thoughts to patterns and shapes that truly make you think of the written words in a different way.


There are a million ways to stylize your text into typography and using simple fonts is one way. However it may come across lame and ordinary if you’re just creating it by buying or downloading a font. It will be way more appreciated and eye catching if you really get into the spirit and create a font from scratch and truly spend time organizing it from the bottom up.


I found a really interesting tutorial on YouTube that I’d like to share with you all. It’s about stylizing a font like an architect would do it. It teaches you how to organize and draw, by hand, a truly good looking font in just a matter of seconds. If you have some skills and just 10 minutes this will truly change the way your designs or presentations look. Be patient and draw the lines correctly. The end result will even impress your closest friends.

George's Secret Key to the Universe (Audiobook)

George's Secret Key to the Universe (Audiobook): "

Stephen Hawking, Lucy Hawking, Hugh Dancy, 'George's Secret Key to the Universe (Audiobook)'
Simon & Schuster Audio | 2007 | ISBN: 0743571614 | Audio CD | mp3 | 132 MB

Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter Lucy explain the universe to readers of all ages. George's parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps. But when George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. With Cosmos's help, he can travel to other planets and a black hole. But what would happen if the wrong people got their hands on Cosmos? George, Annie, and Eric aren't about to find out, and what ensues is a funny adventure that clearly explains the mysteries of science. Garry Parsons' energetic illustrations add humor and interest, and his scientific drawings add clarity; there are also eight 4-page full-color inserts of scientific photos.
