Whole digital ID thing is going to be a complete disaster!

Not just security issues, but how easy it'll be for people to get around. E.g. just take a screenshot of somone else's digital ID, photoshop other persons photo of own, and use that screenshot as ID. It'll really be that easy to get around!

This feels like a disaster waiting to happen!

What if the AI teacher says something they don't (either due to a bug, pupils tampering, etc.) how will that reflect on real teacher, etc.

There's something exciting about having a letter printed in letters page!

I got a letter printed in Captain America around this time (can't remember issue, although was a double sized issue).

Also had number of letters printed in more recent years in letters pages of Panini's UK reprint titles. 😀

NEW BLOG POST!

Once your book is published, what's your biggest priority - more people buying your book, or more people reading?

They can be the same, however they can be completely different goals, that determine how you market and promote your book...

Marketing your book: sales versus readers

You have released your book - a great achievement - and now you need to get people to buy and read your book. It won't magically happen - you are competing against thousands (if not millions) of books...

I watch at the pace they are broadcast on Pick TV, whivch helps. I.e. just watching that weeks episodes (or in some cases a few weeks episodes). Rather then in one go.

Behind on 2007 Emmerdale, as don't watch them as often as I use to, probably a sign that time to stop, rather than catching up!

Did get the cards, and still have them. Never actually played them, but they where great fun artwork etc.

A great line-up. Fantastic Four 2099 was great, even with the sudden change of storyline/direction halfway through. Spider-man, X-Men, X-Nation etc. all great - like that they didn't play it safe by just having everyone be descendants of originals, and did new/different things.

Still going through FBI Most Wanted and FBI International - also about to start on fourth series of main FBI show.

Plus still watching 2007 Emmerdale... inc. episodes withbrief return of old characters as guest stars. Definitely see decline in quality, but still much much better than modern show.
