Difference Makers Have Courage
When Jackie Robinson was brought to the major leagues by Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey, he was the first African-American to play major league ball. At that point, Mr. Rickey carefully explained to him that he would have thousands of chances to lose his temper and get upset because of the overt racism that existed in the major leagues at that time. He warned him about the hate-mail and boos he would get because many of the white players and fans would be adamantly opposed to his presence in the major leagues.

Digital Printing
Printing is a term that we are all familiar with. Any one of you could show me something that had been printed, and if it had not come out of a desktop printer or photocopier it probably would have been done on a traditional printing press. There is, however, with the advancement of technology, a new method which can replace traditional lithographic printing and it is becoming increasingly popular for smaller quantities. It is called Digital Printing. In order that both areas are fully understood we have explained the traditional process below and have invited Robert Robinson- Woledge from Management Graphics in Reading to tell us about the benefits of Digital Printing as an alternative
Square Peg Round Hole
In his wonderful book The Element, Sir Ken Robinson tells a story that I’m sure many people can relate to. In it, a young girl named Gillian is having trouble concentrating at school. The school – suspecting a learning disability – asks her mother to take 8-year-old Gillian to see a psychiatrist for evaluation.

From outside the room, Gillian’s mother observed for a few minutes as she moved beautifully to the music, dancing around the room, lost in a childlike trance.

Maria Robinson said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Finish each day and be done with it.

On my blog Panel Surfing I endeavor to talk about the last true AMerican art form, the comic book, and especially original comic art. I was very fortunate to get an interview with Jerry Robinson - the man who created The Joker and Robin along with Bill Finger for Bob Kane's Batman way back in the early 40's - the Golden Age of Comics. But that is just the beginning of Jerry's accomplishments.
