Big Cartoon Blog- Cartoons News and Animated Film Information
Big Cartoon Blog- Cartoons News and Animated Film Information
The Big Cartoon DataBase Blog Site.
This project started because we were bored. And, we wanted an easy way to look up information about cartoons, a dedicated cartoon filmography and in depth episode guide. While IMdb is very good for movies, and has some cartoon information, it did not seem to us to be enough. So, we decided to make something that did suit our needs, The Big Cartoon DataBase (and lots of long nights) ensued.
First and foremost, this is a labor of love. No one gets paid a dime for doing this filmography— in fact, we loose money monthly just running the darn thing. But it is something we enjoy, and so we will keep doing it, updating and adding every chance we get. While the project started as a couple of guys in Salt Lake City with too much time on their hands, we are very indebted to those others– who, like us, love cartoons– and have given freely of their time, hard work and research to help make The Big Cartoon DataBase what it is today.
BCDB started as an Access database on my work computer. I had a list of all the Disney feature cartoons (people often ask me what the “official” list is, so I kept my own copy). Then I found a filmography of about 5000 cartoons that Nobuo Mochizuki maintains at Shizuoka University Library in Japan. Nobuo was very kind and sent us his source, and we had enough info to get started. Since then, information, cartoon history and episode guides has come from all over the world– Australia, United Kingdom, France, Japan— even Russia. Support has come from fans and professionals alike, and we could not be more gratefully for all the support.
We have done our best to validate the information in the filmography. But sometimes that can be hard to do, especially for older cartoons. Please consider any errors in the database ours. However, if you notice errors, it is possible to send an error report for an individual cartoon right from its page. We want to do our best to make this the most informative, correct resource possible!
But information by itself is not useful if you cannot present it in an easy to use (and easy to maintain) fashion. We needed scalability, speed, security, speed, configurability and speed. We found all this (and more!) at Gossamer Threads with Links SQL. While built as a “Links” database, àla Yahoo, it provided the basis for what we turned into BCDB. And the support has been tremendous– Alex is always available to help in emergencies. And the online support groups– most notably Pugdog and Paul– have really helped us craft the episode guide and filmography.

APPS from USA.gov
Government apps provide information when you're on the go. Find instant notification of recalls to the status of veterans benefits. USA.gov is working hard to make government easy, convenient, and accessible.
What is an app?
An app, short for "application," is a tool that helps you accomplish a task or find information. The apps in the USA.gov app store are designed to work on your mobile phone. Some need to be downloaded to your phone while others can be accessed using your phone's web browser.
How much do apps cost?
All the apps featured currently are free. Charges from your cell phone carrier may apply.
Can apps access my personal information?
Review the terms of services page or privacy policy for each app to learn if and how it uses personal information. Most apps cannot access your personal information.
Are your apps available for iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Nokia, etc.?
The apps featured in our gallery were developed by government agencies on a variety of platforms. Currently, we have apps for iPhone, Android and Blackberry. A lot of our apps are mobile-friendly websites, which means they can be accessed by any device. Each agency works one-on-one with the separate platform and signs a terms of service agreement with them, so it is up to the individual agency to decide which platform to use. At this time, there is no coordinated plan to offer each and every app on every platform.
Whom do I contact if I have problems with an app?
If you have problems with an app from the U.S. government, please send us an e-mail.
Whom do I contact if I have an idea for an app or would like to submit an app to this site?
If you have a suggestion, please send us an email. We review suggestions according to our Apps Policy.

City & County Information, Town & Community Information - ePodunk
ePodunk provides in-depth information about more than 46,000 communities around the country, from Manhattan to Los Angeles, Pottstown to Podunk. Our listings also include geocoded information about thousands of parks, museums, historic sites, colleges, schools and other places across America.
ePodunk was launched in 1999 in Ithaca, NY, just east of the real Podunk, a community so small it doesn't appear on the U.S. Census Bureau's list of places. ePodunk was founded by journalists with years of experience in newspapers, online publishing and demographics.
Los Angeles-based Internet Brands acquired ePodunk in July of 2007. Internet Brands' sites deliver superior content, consumer insight and have received dozens of "best-in-class" awards.
Internet Brands’ home category websites span the lifecycle of home-related activities including housing selection, financing, purchasing, leasing and home improvement. With the acquisition of ePodunk, Internet Brands also provides valuable, traditionally hard-to-find information about individual neighborhoods to help people choose the best community for a vacation or a relocation.

NNDB: Tracking the entire world
NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.)
But it mostly exists to document the connections between people, many of which are not always obvious. A person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with.
Eventually, we will have synopses and analyses of creative works by the people in the database, including their books, films, and recordings.

The Iowa State Daily's Sidebar Mistake Accidentally Condones Rape
The Iowa State Daily's Sidebar Mistake Accidentally Condones Rape
First Posted: 01/14/11 09:49 AM Updated: 01/19/11 03:21 PM
Read More: Iowa State Daily, Iowa State Daily Consent, Iowa State Daily Mistake, Photo, College News
As newspaper mistakes go, this one's a whopper.
A recent sidebar on a sexual assault article in the Iowa State Daily mistakenly said it was okay to have sex with those who are asleep, unconscious, inebriated, incapacitated, debilitated or under 16.
The sidebar's header in the Daily's Jan. 12 print edition read "Who can give consent?" An editor's note appended to the online version of the article states that the header was supposed to read "Who cannot give consent?"
The Daily's error has picked up speed around the web and has been sarcastically deemed a "great moment in student journalism."
Alas, student newspaper expert Dan Reimold offers some perspective on his blog College Media Matters, saying that the error shouldn't "distract from what appears to be a well-written story and nice design."
And a reminder to the folks at the Daily -- tomorrow is a new day.
UPDATE: Daily Editor-in-Chief Jessie Opoien has appended an additional note to the article. It says in part:

The Daily's sidebar mistake By Jessica Opoien, jessica.opoien@iowastatedaily.com Iowa State Daily
On Jan. 12, 2011, the Iowa State Daily published an article about the sexual assault, misconduct and harassment policy at Iowa State, written by Kaitlin York. The story, headlined in print as "Defining dangerous deeds," and online as "Understanding the policies for sexual assault," was about a very serious issue on college campuses.
The story was accompanied by three sidebars, with the intention of providing more information about sexual misconduct. However, a very unfortunate error, on our part, has made one of those sidebars infamous across the Internet. The sidebar, "Who cannot give consent?" was headlined, in print, as "Who can give consent?"
The error, of course, dramatically changed the information that was presented in the sidebar. Copy errors run in publications every day, but this was more severe than the average newspaper misprint.
This was nothing more than a mistake on our part -- not, as some online commenters have suggested, the product of someone with a sick sense of humor. Sexual misconduct is not a laughing matter, and, too often, careless jokes are made that can numb us and make us forget the seriousness of the matter. The Iowa State Daily does not condone sexual misconduct, and we do not take this issue lightly. We deeply regret any offense we may have caused.LOOK:
