So… remember how I’ve said, time and again, that the comic is dead? That I’ve manged to say all I wanted to with it, and that I really don’t see what new I could with it? That it’s over, and it’s time to move on with life?

Yeah… Turns out I was wrong. The comic, such as it was (and such as it is) is back, “stylistic” artwork and all.

Head over to The Manor to check it out – but mind the layout, it’s a bit crap. I hope to rectify that within the coming days, as time (and energy) permits.

I figure I should be able to stick to a weekly update schedule, sometime on Fridays… But we all know how well that worked in the past.

Anyway, it’s there, go read it. Or don’t, whatever.

But, really, please do.

Just a short note to point out the obvious, and the slightly less obvious…

First, I’ve changed the theme – again – and think I’ll settle on the current one for a while. Traditionally, as soon as I post something mentioning a new theme and how it’ll stick around for a bit, I move instantly to a new theme. Not so much this time – I’m digging the layout and the colors, and only plan on doing a few minor tweaks to it in the coming weeks. Definitely going to change the header – can’t stand that font – and will take any suggestions from you, the readers.

Second is the Lifestream page that I recently added. Basically, it’s a page that collects the various updates to social networks in one handy location for people… Also makes it easier for me to log what I’ve been saying where. Right now it’s got Twitter, Facebook and XBox Live, and I’m considering adding a few other things – like Google Reader shared thing. Again, suggestions welcome.

And, on a related note, I tied my Twitter to my Facebook, so that tweets change my status. Basically, it now allows me to annoy more people with less effort, which is always a win in my book.

For me, at least.

House hunting is hard.
Saturday Nadia and I hit two different places in an attempt to get a head start on finding a place we can share together. Did I forget to mention we were planning on moving in together by end of April? Well, we are…

Google Reader has this neat feature, where it (supposedly) recommends new and interesting things to read based upon your prior reading habits. I say supposedly because some of the things it recommends for me are somewhat puzzling, and seem completely random.

It gives me a lot of science – and science related – blogs. That’s fine, I like science and geeky stuff. Sure, I don’t even come close to understanding some of the more high end stuff (the numbers and terms make my brain go all wonky), but it’s still a nice read once in a while.

There’s the odd assortment of random webcomics – although the majority of them are somewhat crap. I’m sorry, but it’s true: 97% of webcomics are crap, including my own aborted monster. of the remaining 3%, a full nine-tenths is Penny-Arcade, leaving a very small market for actual good, non-PA comics. I’ve found a couple, and have enjoyed them.

The remaining stuff Google throws at me? Personal blogs of small Mormon families in Las Vegas. Read the rest of this entry →
