Running and a new (so new it's rough!) strip.

Training update! We've got four runs in over the past two weeks, roughly 5.25 miles per run. Things are going well, with no chafing or cardiac episodes! Terrible time of the year to try and get back into the swing of it, though: exceedingly humid and hot, so it's a real chore to get out there and go. But get out there and go we do. Going to see if my dad's up for running the Excelsior Firecracker Run with me.

In other news, there's a new strip up over at Working The Void: so new, in fact, that it's still rough. See it while you can, as I'm finishing up the inking today! UPDATE: Inked strip is up.

Good luck,

K

In training: becoming a runner again.

An old friend of mine and I are on a quest: to run the 2010 Grandma's Marathon (Two Harbors to Duluth, Minnesota) and live to tell the tale.

We have begun training and the next run is this afternoon.

More stories to follow.

Good luck,

Repeat after me: "I will not buy anything from Monster Cable".

I'll say it again: I will NOT buy anything from Monster Cable. Were you to ask me the reason, I'd point you to a simple Google search of the phrase "Monster Cable sues". I've never been overly enticed by Monster Cable products, my opinion of them being overpriced for what they claim to deliver. On top of that, there have been highly suspicious and well-documented shady sales-floor practices (which you can read about over at Engadget HD) and topped off by the amazingly brazen lawsuit against Monster Transmission & Performance. Audioholics.com has an interesting write-up as well.

Where will I buy audio interconnect cables from? Blue Jeans Cable, or many of the other companies that WON'T be silly-suing anyone and everyone over a simple word.

Good luck,

Zits Audio Comics, brought to you by Jantze Studios and King Features.

While there's a great deal to be said about the what, why and theory behind these motion comics, I'm just happy to finally be able to share them.

Be still my geek-ish heart...

Just when I thought I'd had my geek-thrill for the week, along comes this and does it for me for a month.

So absurdly impracticable, yet the desire factor rises even as I speak...

Happy Friday! (again)

B-flat from deep space? I swoon with geekish delight.

I am struck dumb trying to describe the heights of my fascination with this. The sheer enormity and scale of the things we've yet to find out staggers the brain to near insensibility.

Happy Friday!

Can't help it... too... cool...

Talk about your viral marketing... but I just couldn't help it.



Good Luck,

Return of the strip?

So I re-drew the last strip as I was far from happy with how the previous version turned out. A friend who knows something about comic strips had a few suggestions as well, some of which are in evidence here, others to appear later. I've posted the two strips next to each other on the WTV site for to make easy the comparing, should you wish.

Good luck,

K
