Bernie Mireault Interviews Himself

I’ve been skipping this interview in my Google Reader for weeks because when I reach it, I typically don’t have the time to focus my full attention on this long piece. The Comics Reporter has a long interview with Bernie Mireault that looks fascinating. This is a guy whose work I have followed since the [...]

EGC Clambake for February 24, 2008

Here is the direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for February 24, 2008. It is one long speech about the state of the American nation, how we have gone wrong and continue to go wrong, how we have sacrificed the important moral aspects of our nation because we are scared for our safety; how [...]

Dark Week

I didn’t intend to go dark for a week on the blog and almost that long on Twitter. Over the weekend we were traveling and out of the blue Sunday I was laid low with an illness that I’m still recuperating from. I’ve only worked half a day this week so far and have been [...]

Project Wonderful Arbitrage

I’ve been experimenting with Project Wonderful ads on AmigoFish for some time. It’s never made that much money and what it brings in I just spend back out in placing ads myself. I mostly just like the idea of it and the purity of their mechanism even though now the distribution of advertisers skews heavily [...]

RIP Steve Gerber

I’m a long time fan of Steve Gerber’s comic book work, from Howard theDuck, Omega the Unknown, the Defenders, and so on. I also was a big fan as a kid of Thundarr the Barbarian, a work that Steve drove forward.
A few weeks ago I started following his weblog and was keeping up with his [...]

MacPorts Woes

I have been interested in the Gimp for a while but every time I fire it up, I’m intimidated by the whole thing. I’ve never used Photoshop so either program freaks me out. That’s why I have subscribed to the excellent Meet the Gimp vidcast.
Given all that, I was excited about the possibilties of [...]

Light Blogging and Stuff

I wish I could claim that Twitter is eating my blogging energy but truth be told I haven’t even been twittering much this weekend. I believe I’m going through one of those periods of burnout with the process. I have so many irons in the fire that I’m beginning to thrash around. This is where [...]

Ed Cone on the Political Ground Game

My acquaintance Ed Cone has a great article on the convergence of politics and the internet. He articulates something I noticed but couldn’t put into words as well as he did. The Howard Dean campaign in 2004 and the Ron Paul campaign this time around had a lot of internet juice but neither seemed to [...]

EGC Clambake for February 3, 2008 – “Disillusion”

Here is the direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for February 3, 2008.
I play a rocking, honky tonking boogie woogie song from the Two Dollar Pistols; I discuss a sad anniversary; I talk about how my former hero is no longer of any interest to me; I play a song by Viva Voce and [...]

Party Like It’s 2005

Later this afternoon, I’m planning on upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4. That isn’t a typo, I am still running 10.3 here. I can never remember which cat any release is and I don’t really care. I can tell without thinking about it that 10.4 is newer than 10.2 but it takes a lot of [...]

Podcasting Art and Artifice

I pointed the other day to Cheryl Colan’s discussion of Epic-Fu. Because I’m watching old videos on my Zune, I am just watching some of the very early episodes of the precursor program the Jet Set Show. I also watched Zadi’s Karmagrrrrl blog even prior to that. The interesting thing is that as you progress [...]
