Comic Book Art Concept: "Live Action Picture Stills As A Comic Book"

Hello All,

Comic book's have been the pre-cursor to cartoons in America if not the world around us. Historically speaking they were invented around the 1930's during the Great Depression years. Where also "Superman" came as a beacon to audiences of that day needing a Hero during those trying times in America.

Believe it or not Hollywood has also realized this for nearly a decade now. Where high budget films based off of the Marvel or DC Comics universe of super heroes or villains has returned to awe and stun audiences alike.

My concept is to meld the comic book media with the sway of full color glossy picture stills. To follow in the foot steps of the current tradition of a comic book. But instead of hand drawn cartoon like graphics by great artists in their own right and generation. To insert full live action and real picture stills by a keen photographers eye. Of course if one is to mimic a Hollywood high budget film. One must include in the background scene CG (computer graphic) elements so as to spruce up the tale.

Such a "Live Action" comic book can include the same crop of famous celebrity talent that the current superhero films are famous for to date. The comic books can come printed in high glossy photo stock paper or come as an digital download or on a limited edition DVD series with numerous bonus features. (such as the production of the comic book, the behind the scenes footage, the history of such a story or how it was created.)

Once this medium of the "Next Generation" of Comic Books takes hold in popular culture. Than journalists can take hold of it in the old "Life Magazine" tradition. By depicting a story in photographic media to enlighten and educate audiences of all ages. Certain real world depictions can be a limited edition run covering the plight of the refugee victims in Dafur Sudan as an example. Where a portion of the retail proceeds goes to a charity be it the "United Nations" or whomever.

The "Live Action" picture stills comic book has a lot of potential to entertain as well as inform.

Intellectual Property Concept: A Remake of Disney's Mary Poppin's

Hello All,

Right now out of Disney's vault of classical media content they are selling for a limited time on DVD the original "Mary Poppin's" movie in all its splendor.

So my idea is for gosh heck why hasn't Disney remade Mary Poppin's for this current generation of children young and old alike? It has remade so many of it's movie classics before, but why not this one?

In the remake of "Mary Poppin's" I have two actresses in mind. "Natalie Portman" is the chief contender for the lead role, but if she is unavailable than select "Christine Knightley". Also a cameo role appearance of "Dick Van Dyke" is a must and without question nor doubt.

However this remake move of "Mary Poppin's" is just a lead in to the children's animated series of the "Little Mary Poppin's". Which can air on the Disney Cable TV channel for young audiences.

The "Little Mary Poppin's" animated cartoon series for children. Will follow Mary Poppin's when she was just a child. How she flowered to be such an adorable human being with such a fairy God Mother enchantment to us all.

The animated series will convey tales of morality that will be both entertaining to children and instructive. Showing us all the back story of how Mary Poppin's came to be and why she is so full of compassion and sweetness.

This is an excellent opportunity for Disney to pursue. If only if they're leadership and imagination permit it during this time and era we're in together.

Electronic Feature Concept: The "Smart DVR"

Hello All,

Right now I'm a subscriber through my cable TV service of the DVR (Digital Video Recorder). Which if your not aware as of yet records and pauses live television broadcasts. So you don't have to be glued to the network or cable broadcasters telecast schedule. Besides a nifty and to die for feature is to fast forward past TV commercials that are often time consuming if not all too repetitive.

My concept today is to make perhaps that next series of DVR devices to include a "Smart Feature". Which the dilemma today that after one schedules a program to be pre-recorded. That many of such broadcasted content runs over its allotted time on TV. Whether this is due to a special announcement on rare occasions or more commonly squeezing too many TV commercials into the program that is airing that day. What this causes is the program that has been recorded at its climatic finale is cut off at the very end. Since the channel guide which is where the television program is scheduled to be recorded by in hour. Is always exact and down to the top of the hour or half past the hour with hardly a diversion in-between.

So my concept of a "Smart DVR" will recognize inherently when such a TV program runs over its allotted scheduled TV time. Where it will continue to record smartly the extra 30 seconds to up to a full 2 minutes where necessary. When a TV broadcaster cheats the channel guide schedule and runs over into the next scheduled programs airing time.

Mostly likely this "Smart DVR" feature will be dumb. Where future DVR software will just automatically add the additional recording time as needed per TV program. When in a future generation that digital detection software improves and catches an over run Tv program. It will kindly continue to record down to the very second that the Tv program truly ceases to be.

That is my desire from DVR developers to instill in these future devices yet to come into our homes or elsewhere.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

What seems to be a monthly occasion for myself on my humble blog site. Here is another three original never before seen spiritual wisdom quotations written by yours truly. May you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Be well.

-------------------

849) Those of us that proclaim that life isn't fair. Is very correct, because creation isn't based upon fairness. It is however paradoxically based upon "Love and Fear" in totality. So which aspect of creation do you wish or intend to focus upon? ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


850) Our beloved Creator gave breath to all that was, is, and will be again. In doing so with such an unconditional and total intent of love. That all other hardships of mortality cease to be the case. Our maker of all that is life imbued his / her own essence as both the living creator and the created being. In one full loop of the circle of life the Holy Spirit permeates totality. Never far away but always beyond cursory recognition of a mortals perception. What is not seen, is than felt as an ever evolving relationship with all that is. An Infinite bond that can not be undone nor forgotten amongst his / her own creations of the Beloved. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


851) Art is the greatest expression of the creative soul within all that is and will be. Art is a reflection of what is felt or what is being sought after in one's heart or mind. Art can be of beauty, and its works can appear beautiful to the beholder. However art isn't pinned down only to reflect the beauty in nature or the human condition. Art can be political in nature if so desired, to various degrees of success or failure in generations yet to be, which will be its inheritors. Art is our reflection of ourselves in how we choose to depict ourselves by truth or falsehood. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All & Happy New Year!

Here is another batch of original spiritual wisdom statements for your own contemplation.

Enjoy.

-------------

846) Praise when well deserved and sincere when offered should be accepted as an embrace of kindness. However praise when it is offered in vain by hypocrisy should be discarded immediately. When sincere criticism is expressed be open to receiving it as a teacher in disguise. When hurtful slurs are directed at you close your mind and heart from accepting them. Even if their is a portion of truth to such slurs, they not need be accepted. Due to the fact that they were delivered by a venomous poison that only conveys darkness and drowns out any semblance of truth. Amen. ------Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


847) The Will of God(dess) is complete for all of creation. It results always yield benevolence and grace. It is a harmonizing factor unto itself offering all a delicate balance of inherent nature. For a person to accept the total Will of God(dess) for themselves grants to them a supreme recovery of well being. More than any mortal lover can complete for their own affectionate mate. The Will of God(dess) completes all of life unto the expressions of absolute light and caring love. Any other will outside of that of God(dess) will lead in circles and total confusion of self. A horror no one should assume or impose on another being. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


848) Every one's path is an individual creation unto themselves. However what they seek is as universal as our beloved creator, God(dess). Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Electronic Games Concept: Audio Game Play

Hello All,

The next phase of "Audio Game Play" will piggyback onto the smooth less introduction of text chat channels in a MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game world. For example, In an MMO game world in the fashion and order that text chat channels are introduced into game play. IE: Local, Shout, Guild, Commerce (Buying / Selling), Help, Etc...

For each of the text channel listed above in "Audio Game Play" there will be an analogous audio channel to complement it to facilitate game play communications between players and Npc's (Non-Player Characters) via speech recognition dialogue software.

There can be cosmetic voice patterns per player avatar gender / race, so as to maintain atmosphere and game play immersion. Although there will be a technological hurdle in making each player voice unique in a fictitious voice pattern immersion. For example, not having all player male elf avatars all being a cloned voice of the other player or npc. By avoiding the temptation to cut corners in fictitious voice pattern immersion. And to create one cloned voice template for each gender and of each player race. That will get old very fast and become a laugh amongst the customer player community. Better yet still have each player voice unique so as to distinguish people in game play as it is mirrored in reality.

Game developers are already using propriety software in online game worlds. But are often sticking to conventional wisdom of the TeamSpeak or Ventrilo voice chat software. Not literally including the audio channels fully into a game world as contemporary text chat channels do presently.

Mystical Thought: Our Souls Are Always In Heaven!

A Warm Holiday Greetings To All,

This is the next iteration of the "Mystical Thought" series. For those of you yearning for something with meta-physical depth to contemplate over in your mind's eye. Many of these mystical thoughts come to me in a flash whether they have occurred years ago or most recently. Most of my spiritual wisdom writings come to me in a flash as well. Through the medium of "automatic writing" where you allow to be guided by your intuition and not just your mind's ego.

Without a further adieu the topic of today is "Our Souls Are Always In Heaven!". (taken from my most recent spiritual statement #919)

919) As in the Image of God our Creator our Divine souls are in Heaven. Whereas our mortal human sentient bodies are on this Earth where we all co-habitat.
How can we as children of a Living Creator. Be like him and have our souls abode with his Holy Spirit in Heaven?
As we are in the Image of God(dess) as souls, not as humans. We are given this role to constantly abide with our maker in a Holy Realm we call Paradise.
Our souls qualify to reside in numerous dimensions at the same moment in eternity. Whereas we as humans are given the Grace through our spirits as a bridge to remember this glory once more in Creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

(caveat: Souls are also permitted that are of a evil persuasion by free will to abide in Hell the Inferno as they please likewise.)

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is the next batch of my own spiritual wisdom based quotations slash proverbs. (not really sure what to call them any more, maybe "Statements" is more apropos)

May you enjoy them and mull them over as i have from writing them initially. Besides rereading them each time anew in silent contemplation.

------------------------------------------------

843) The power that binds us as one grand being in the living dynamic hearth we call God. Is also the creator that liberates us to pursue our objectives, hopefully for the common good. With true freedom comes responsibility, however not all beings have grasped its meanings. Thus chaos ensues in the universe where misdeeds occur frequently. But for those who comprehend the implications of freedom, Heaven on Earth is often the result. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


844) Every generation of people needs to repeat the lessons of their fore fathers. To gauge truly to see if they have matured sufficiently as a society. Where history repeats itself as many times with each generation of humanity as needed. Those who proclaim never again the atrocities witnessed are naive at best, fools at worst. Lessons of life are akin to a circle, where each generation of people needs to pass so many revolutions of this said circle of life. To gauge their evolution as entities of God, before all of creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


845) I can only Imagine what a soul will encounter upon transcendence of their physical body into the next realm. For those who have experienced near death and speak of a brilliance beyond earthly scope. Perhaps it is being witness to the totality of the one we call God(dess). A Divine Light akin to a celestial star of the Holy Spirit shining and beholding the entirety of creation in one instant. If this is remotely accurate than we have the gift of returning to this moment, time and again in meditation during our worship of the Alpha & Omega. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

-----------------------------------

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. After all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live, we die. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows, any one's life can stand a little of that... ---E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web".

There is no death, only a change of worlds. ---Chief Seattle.

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. ---Indian Proverb.

Solar Power Concept / Prediction: Solar Powered Windows

Hello All,

The concept I offer today is practically a no-brainer that it moves itself into the realm of a prediction. Currently Germany has invested itself heavily into solar power panel manufacturing. They like many other engineers / inventors are looking for the next best solar panel.

My concept is that eventually solar power panels will become solar powered windows. Be they utilized for residential / commercial real estate or within all sorts of vehicles of transportation. These windows slash solar powered panels of tomorrow will be completely transparent as they are today.

They only difference is they'll have a chemical composition between the layers of the window pane. Similar to the make up of a LCD Tv (monitor) a liquid crystal chemical formula that will be an acting solar powered window. (panel)

This will be a boon to construction industries, be they for home residential usage or commercial real estate. Auto makers will also incorporate such a concept into their vehicle windows. Probably in an attempt to augment an existing electric automobile in it's capacity to generate electrical power as it is driven or stationary.

I am no engineer, I only consider myself as a "Oracle Imagineer" in developing these concepts strewn throughout my blog site dating back to 2005. With that clearly stated I'll Predict that such a concept of "Solar Powered Windows" will be created within 10 years from now.

Now to see how astute this concept / prediction is or how mistaken I was to make such a declaration.

Mystical Thought: "We Are Genderless Souls"

Hello All,

I wanted to mix up some of the segments I post here in my blog site. So consider this the introduction of another segment that will be posted on a case by case basis. It will not be a common segment but it may appear later on in the future with another mystical thought.

--------------------------

How dare I say that our souls made in the Image of God(dess) are genderless or in other words "gender-neutral"!

Well I'll break down this mystical meta-physical truth for your intellectual consumption.

In the Judeo-Christian Bible it states that we are all made in the "Image of God". So do you suppose that God(dess) is fashioned only in the guise of a physically incarnated human being?

Being an all-inclusive deity God(dess) both with masculine and feminine natures is rather incarnated as all "Life" itself, including that of Spirit. As is often the case of the Holy Trinity for Catholics including the "Holy Spirit" (Ghost).

However allow me to digress back to the point of how can we be "Genderless Souls"?

Well since we are made in the "Image of God(dess)". Not as a corporal human being but as a Spirit fashioned in the likeness of our Glorious Creator. Our souls all have a shard of God(dess) him/her self within our very spiritual souls. That ethereal shard that is a piece of our maker God(dess) within all of us including all "Life" Itself. That sacred and wondrous piece of Divinity is "Genderless" or "Gender Neutral" within us.

Thus as we are fashioned in the Image and likeness of our Creator God(dess). Our Souls or Highest Self is truly without gender. Encompassing both natures of the masculine and feminine within our most Divine nature by Holy inheritance.

It is suppose to be a Holy paradox or conundrum of our meta-physical make up. That as we are borne into physical flesh with one gender anatomically. Our Soul fashioned with the likeness of God(dess) is genderless (gender neutral).

Knowing this sacred truth how could we as spiritual inheritors of the Kingdom of God. Mistreat our Soulful brothers and sisters that under human terms are: gay, lesbian, or transgendered?

Those that have a foreign sexual orientation to our own are not dissimilar to their very own Divine nature as a genderless (gender neutral) spiritual soul. To be hateful or fearful of our brothers and sisters that are gay, lesbian, or transgendered is to display our cruelest animal nature. Not as Humane Beings but as Barbarians.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is the next three "Jewels of Truth" quotes for your reflection. Followed by a few more "Favorite Quotes of the Day" from other notable people.

Enjoy.

-------------------------

840) In a Democratic State government where the liberties of such a nation are severely restricted. It will cease being a democracy and convert either into a fascist or despotic regime. When liberties are suspended during a time of war. It must be treated with total civil transparency by freedom or the press and a government outreach for social justice. Otherwise the Democratic State enters a period of intense jeopardy of its truest identity. The Democratic State needs to excel in a governing method of compromise. Otherwise rigid polar extreme stances will lead no where, but to an utter collapse of all social institutions of the land. Delegating them to mere puppets of there former selves where fiat tendencies shall lead to ruin for all. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


841) Those who state that "Time heals all wounds" have forgotten one very important rule. That forgiveness must first occur for the internal healing of the wound. Otherwise the grief or anger will fester within one's self like a cancerous tumor. Forgive those whom that have harmed you, and especially one's self for harming others. Than and only then can time begin to heal the wounds of the heart once more. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


842) For those who seek a lifestyle of meaning served by purpose, than listen well. To live rightly is a grace from God(dess) of the most High. Albeit it is not meant to be an easy feat either in its pursuit. To live a life of well being one must find a balance that is appropriate to one's own purpose in life. Once found and understood correctly, then one can live by such a hallmark of fortitude. Otherwise one will wander far and wide in a haze of confusion not valuing themselves truly. Find your balance and it will lead you back to yourself and God(dess) awaiting you with open arms. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Nothing is impossible when we follow our inner guidance, even when its directions may threaten us by reversing our usual logic. ----Gerald Jampolsky, Psychiatrist.

Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. ---Marin Luther King, Jr.

We are the ones for whom we have been waiting. --- Hopi Elders.

Claiming your own blessedness always leads to a deep desire to bless others. ---Henri Nouwen.

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love. ---Mahatma Gandi.

Computer File Concept: Picture File Format 2.0

Hello All,

Current computer file formats of pictures are of: gif, jpeg, bitmap, etc... All of which consist of a file name limited in text space, a thumbnail image, and the main picture itself.

What my concept introduces is the next evolution of a computer "Picture Format" into the 2.0 era. Taking the lead example of analog photographic paper be it of Kodak or Fuji. Where printed pictures all had a reverse side with a date stamp and additional space for some hand written comments.

Now imagine the Picture Format 2.0 that has a reverse side to it. By having a "Notepad" file attached to the reverse side of the next generation picture format. Where anything from comments to executable programs can be inserted into such a 2.0 picture format. Instead of programming code surrounding an inserted image. The image itself will have room for a program to operate akin to riding piggyback.

Taking all of the current features of a present picture format file as stated above and combining it with a reverse side, such as a "notepad" format file. Where the main picture itself on the bottom right hand corner when moused over will indicate where to reverse the picture. Getting at the notepad file format or perhaps another file format be it a self-contained spreadsheet program like Word or Excel.

This is where analog life can imitate digital life in a very convenient form.
