A Blast From The Past

You kids today with your webcomics, you don’t know how good you’ve got it. I remember the early 90sRemember kids, Red Meat didn’t appear online until 1996., when getting a comic on the web meant puerile Space Moose sodomy jokes or the banal comedy of Doctor Fun. </crotchety> Seriously, though, there’s a wealth of great stuff out there today–no one… Read more →

Y.A.L.P.

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 to an ocean-worthy boat,… Read more →

En Passant

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 for Death In The… Read more →

A miscellany for a Friday

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 good folks over… Read more →
