I am on vacation next week and more than likely I'll be bottlenecking up any new "official" content on the site until August 25th.  As always, however check out the stream of all your talk posts (click on the talk post tab on the right hand column) and go nuts in the forums.

I'll be off making some sandcomics on the beach.  Maybe an infinite sandcomic...  I might even try to do a multimedia one with solids and liquids all mixed up in a 3D castle shape...

Thanks to Frumph, pcweenies.net will now load from IE once more. My PollDaddy script was causing some extreme flakiness. Thanks to reader Jim Roberts for first alerting me to this problem. -Krishna

Dr. Sherman keeps a parrot and a pug in the office for his guests to hang out with. It was an entirely pleasant experience.

Hi, guys. I recently updated from MT2 to MT4, and as a result, the feed address for this blog has...

El Santo raises a good point in response to my anti-Olympic tirade: that top-medal winners tend toward better public infrastructure overall. Which is kind of inarguable — industrialized nations with disposable income and energy tend to produce more Olympic athletes than underdeveloped countries with fewer spare resources to dedicate to developing top-notch synchronized swimmers.

So anyway, SLG did this thing at Comicon where they leapt out of a pile of comics with a video camera and screamed all sorts of tabloid-worthy questions at me about the war and politics and chocolate verses vanilla, and I think in the process I confessed to being John Edwards' baby mama ... really, it was all a blur.
