Over the past week there’ve been a few things rolling around my head.
- One is a response of sorts to Derek (and Angela) regarding this blog and Twitter.  Every time I try to write here, something always pops up.  I run out of time, meaning the moment has passed; previous commitments crop up, like fixing [...]

Looks – or rather sounds – like I do.
Back in 2006, SciFi premiered Who Wants To Be A Superhero?, a reality show hosted by Stan Lee.  The winner of the first season was Feedback.  Feedback’s secret identity is Matthew Atherton, a software engineer from New Mexico.
Feedback appeared in the Who Wants To Be A Superhero? [...]

That’s how Bryan Boles likes his Presidential candidate.  And, also, his coffee.  I pretty much feel the same way.  Check out the cartoon here.

I think this weekend was a good one.  I was able to mow the lawn (much to Nanuuq’s happiness, as in some areas, the grass was up to her tuchas) and help Renee in the yard as well as run through our usual errands.  We also made it to Walmart where I was able to [...]

Catching up on Spectacular Spider episodes from the past couple weeks while working on my little something for the upcoming comics podcast theme week.

Our weekend was pretty uneventful. It was nice having one where we didn’t have to run hither and yon and could take our time doing it.
Friday night we went to check on our friend Karen, who’s recovering from surgery, and have dinner at her place. Saturday, the three of us drove up to [...]

To say 2008 came out the gate kicking our asses would be an understatement. Hell, the latter half of our 2007 wasn’t all that great. Sure, there were good times, and laughs, but there was a cloud hanging over us that we still can’t shake.
And it’s related to money. Specifically, the money [...]

My plane tickets have been purchased. My 3-Day + Thursday Night pass has been ordered. And come the morning of Thursday, the third of August, I will be on my way to Wizard World Chicago. I can’t wait. This will be the first convention that I’ve been to in years. [...]

I was asked at work “when I was a child, what did I want to be when I grew up?”…  And I wasn’t sure what the answer was.  I can honestly say I doubt it was ever computer-related.  I kinda lucked out having a career in the IT industry, and it’s been a pretty cool [...]
