约翰·伍德在享有盛誉的凯洛格商学院攻取MBA后，曾在金融业工作数年，并于1991年进入微软工作。由于工作努力、行动果敢，他迅速成长起来，先后得到了在澳大利亚及中国地区令人艳羡的海外任职机会。在任职微软中国市场开发总监时期，伍德决意改变自己的生活航向，转而为贫困的孩子送去能使其受益终生的教育大礼，以帮助他们打破宿命的循环。 在2000年，他创建了“阅读空间”，一个非营利性慈善组织，旨在提高尼泊尔、印度、斯里兰卡、柬埔寨、老挝、越南和非洲等一些地区的文教水平。伍德与“阅读空间”基金会的目标是：到2020年，开办20000间图书馆，使该组织遍及非洲、南美洲，甚至是全世界。 除环游世界筹集资金和访问“阅读空间”资助的社区之外，他都居住在旧金山。

桂正和连载近3年，实力大勇之作《I’s》，终于画到终结。《I’s》口碑虽不及高峰作《电影少女》，但女主角苇月伊织的出「色」程度，简直比过去更「夸」前了一大步。究竟桂正和的漫画是否只有独孤「咸」一味？抑或只是用「色」，去包装他的深「情」一面呢？ 《I’s》中，没有科幻世界，只讲校园爱情。只是个关于一男三女的爱情故事，四人的日文名字都以I字起头，漫画亦因此而命名。内容离不开暗恋明恋之间的忐忑心情、还有少不免的误会重重。男主角濑户一贵性格拖拖拉拉，偏偏又可以周旋于三个美少女之间。 第一人称的心理描绘，将一贵的内心微妙之处刻画地淋漓尽致，其他人物的内心通过动作和表情来表达。近乎完美的画面更是让漫画迷爱不释手。

It is what it is (or...Are we done yet?) What’s your deliverable? It’s a common question, as crass as it is self-evident. We deliver Design…24/7. But it’s a strange word – deliverable – with so many embedded assumptions. Someone else demands, requires, needs, wants, and ultimately pays (or doesn’t), but we always deliver. The verb makes sense, it’s the noun that’s the problem: ...(展开全部)
