Spec’ing a new Macbook Pro


The time has come for me to seriously consider upgrading my 2006 Macbook Pro to the newest model. I’ve been reading Ars Technica’s review of the machine, and performance-wise, it looks like this new model will be significantly faster than the machine I’m using now.

Webcomic Beacon #51 - The End


Webcomic Beacon #51 - The End Sophie (of Mac Rat Love) and R.T. Barnham III (of The World Explodes *NSFW*) join Tanya and Fes this week as we discuss writing ahead and to the end. We also devolve into discussing death and sex as this episode nearly becomes a Spectacular Failure. We had some issues on the broadcast with auido, but the show seemed to turn out alight!

Keep The Artist Going


See the little "Donate" button over to the left?

Even if you don't plan to do anything with it, go look at it.

Future good things are coming, and that donate button may be the only way I'll get paid. I don't need a lot of money -- I knew this financial mess was coming, and I prepared for it with lifstyle -- but the less I have to earn running around taking pictures of local schoolkids or the dump or disarticulated feet, the more time I'll have to DRAW STORIES AND GET THEM TO MY READERS.
