Homo Sum:
humani nil a me alienum puto

You may also remember my pleasant surprise at how much I enjoyed Titan’s first collection of Nemi strips. I’ve been reading the strips online fairly religiously since. The second collection of strips also showed up today, and I’m quite looking forward to going through it to see which, if any, of the strips collected in [...]

And now, a few observations about things completely unrelated to either North American election:

That Wisdom book showed up today. Totally worth the money. It’s been a long time since I bought a “coffee table book”, but if I had a coffee table I’d be proud to leave this out on it.
You know where I’m find [...]

I think I’m going to soon look at setting up the site with “asides”, so that instead of gathering up large buckets of links that I have only a few comments on, I can just drop them in as “asides” between my longer and more content-y posts.
In the meantime, another (possibly final) agglomeration of miscellaneous [...]

You kids today with your webcomics, you don’t know how good you’ve got it. I remember the early 90s1, when getting a comic on the web meant puerile Space Moose sodomy jokes or the banal comedy of Doctor Fun.

Seriously, though, there’s a wealth of great stuff out there today–no one could read everything being [...]

Just because yours is smaller doesn’t make you less of a man. Unless we’re talking about your brain.

I had a definite plan this morning to do a little geohashing and see who showed up at the local meeting. Too bad the algorithm would have put me in the Atlantic Ocean off the South Shore. Maybe tomorrow it’ll be on land–easy enough to calculate with the online reference implementation.
Actually, if I had access [...]

I put it in scare quotes because I am a member of the global information economy, and apparently what that means is that I have to take some meetings on those holidays that are merely national in scope. Yes, I am a grumpy about this. Well, honestly I’m mostly grumpy about having to be up [...]

Last night my mother sent me one of those horrible “email forwards”. She’s the only person with my email address who actually passes these hideous things on to me, knock on wood.
This one was one of those tedious things that abuse casuistry to snark at people who put reason above faith–you know the type, the [...]

Two months ago I had never heard of Nemi. I had no idea that she was apparently known all over Europe, and especially a hit with her Norwegian countrymen, and across the UK.
And then I was browsing through Previews looking for stuff to order at my local comic shop1, and I saw a solicitation [...]

I’ve got a three-year-old arriving in half an hour, and I’ve got a remote controlled car that I’ve just assembled, so I don’t have a lot of time for blogging today. Let’s see how many of my 20 or so “quickies” I can get through, in passing, before she gets home…

Recent experiments with Hemmingway’s recipe [...]

There’s absolutely no theme here, just a bunch of stuff that caught my interest.

Why did I not know there was a new Grimjack comic being serialized to the web at ComicMix.com? There’s like 60 pages there already. I hope this is web-to-trade serialization. And look, there’s also a Jon Sable, and what’s this Bar Sinister?
The [...]

In the meantime, enjoy a little bit of Get Your War On:
