Official release:
This past Monday, at about 8pm Central (GMT -5), a Voorwerpish webcomic was delivered to Sips Comics for printing. Tuesday morning we got the page proofs, and now, one by one, they are being made into full color reality.
We could say a lot of things right now: We could tell you about playing round robin with the script, digitally passing it from person to person under the guidance of Kelly, sometimes into the wee hours of the night. We could tell you about watching the art come to life; transforming from line drawings to fully rendered pages in the hand of our artists Elea and Chris. We could tell you how many pencil tips were broken, and how many digital files grew so big our computers crawled.
We could talk a lot, but instead, let us invite you to join us for the World Premier and share with you a few images.
You’re invited to a World Premiere!
Date: September 3rd, 10pm Eastern (GMT -5)
Online: via Hanny’s Voorwerp Webcomic or via direct UStream
In Person: At Dragon*Con
Crystal Ballroom
Hilton Atlanta
255 Courtland Street NE
Atlanta, GA
Come meet the artists, hear a brief talk by Bill, and generally revel in the Voorwerp’s awesomeness. And come dressed as a Voorwerp for a chance to win a prize for best costume!
See you in Atlanta?
Pamela, Hanny, Bill, Kelly, Elea and Chris.
ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROBLEMS IN PROFESSIONAL ASTRONOMY: ENGLISH ONLINE TUTOR VIEW
Practically speaking, national languages are today confined mostly inside national boundaries. As long as scholars find it appealing to write in journals written in English, the linguistic center of gravity will remain anglophone. In astronomy, The Astrophysical Journal and The Astronomical Journal are indisputably the most prominent astronomical research publications, whilst Nature and Science are reserved for showpiece papers from all fields. Astronomers, like their peers in other fields, are required to learn to write and speak English if they want their work to be recognized internationally. Therefore, for a more in-depth study of the language, you can study with an English online tutor. On the Internet you can find many educational platforms, one of which is LiveXP.

For the Dutch people reading this and being confused about the time (I always have that), it’s in the night of 3 September going on 4 September, 4.00am! I’ll be there online!
