A very thorough breakdown of the different Superman “S” shields throughout the years and across mediums (comics, TV, movies). Somebody needs a brand consultant for consistency.

There is a new filesharing player in town: Minbox. I send and receive A LOT of files and this is one of the nicest and easiest systems I’ve used. YouSendIt is fine but ugly as hell, WeTransfer is fine and pretty but requires going on a browser to use it, Dropbox (for file sharing) is confusing as hell, and Google Drive is mostly useless. Minbox is free but you’ll need to request an access code that should take about two days to arrive. This is NOT a paid post. I just like products that make my life easier.
