Comix TALK archives back on the web
I ported a good bit of the ComixTALK database from Drupal to WordPress and put it back up on the web. Of course there are numerous broken bits and ragged edges on the thing but it’s nice to have the archives in public again. That project lasted just about ten years and while I am probably not going to jump into writing there right now, now I … Continue reading Comix TALK archives back on the web

Thomas Banner Sketch
On yesterday’s post I included an old sketch of a recurring character – Tom Banner (a character I created in 6th grade) that it is painful to look at. Sorry about that – I guess the face is okay but I think his left arm is half the length it should be and that tie is a little too Dilbert-y. Anyhow here is a sketch … Continue reading Thomas Banner Sketch
WordPress on the Desktop
A quick post to try out the new WordPress app for the Mac (it’s available for Linux and Windoz too). Seems pretty comparable to the in-browser editing experience. I also got my “annual report” on Altertainment from Jetpack. I didn’t do much blogging this year so understandly the world’s attention to the site has fallen off of a cliff, into the ocean and almost to … Continue reading WordPress on the Desktop
I Like the new DC United Logo
I was happily surprised when the new logo for the hometown futbol club came out. The new logo is a nice modernization of the existing logo that ties in the District of Columbia flag. I like the wings pushing out past the outline of the shield. It’s a nice way to play with the traditional shape of a soccer club crest. Continue reading I Like the new DC United Logo
Women’s League Soccer
We’ve had a decade and a half of professional women’s soccer in the U.S.which is often lost on people not paying attention. Yes there have been three leagues in succession – because the first two only last 3 seasons each – but taken in total there has been professional women’s soccer in the U.S. since the famous 1999 U.S. world cup victory. The first league, … Continue reading Women’s League Soccer
Bookmark: Terry Pratchett
RIP Sir Terence David John “Terry” Pratchett, OBE (28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015). Forty one Discworld novels have been published. Within Discworld, Pratchett weaved a narrative with many different characters that each had their own narratives across several books. So much so that anyone approaching reading them needs a guide on how to make sense of it all. The L-Space web has put together the … Continue reading Bookmark: Terry Pratchett
Oingo Boingo: Danny Elfman
The artistic genius, the driving force, the hub of Oingo Boingo is unquestionably Danny Elfman. Others made key contributions to the sound of the band but there would be no oingo in the boingo with Elfman. He put out a solo album which for all intents and purposes is another Oingo Boingo album. The fact that the theater troupe transformed into the rock band and … Continue reading Oingo Boingo: Danny Elfman
