Just in time for the holiday season, the PCW gets listed as one of the recommended gifts to get for sys-admins this year. Guest-starring is ridiculously easy, and helps me continue work on the site. Thanks for your support! -Krishna

Buy Nothing Day was created in direct response as a protest against consumerism. The event is observed on the Friday after American Thanksgiving in the US. Maybe you saw the ads for it on TV? Probably not. The overall goal of this organization is to create a commitment among people to consume less and, [...]

I finally had a chance to set up my new Macbook Pro yesterday afternoon. I’m still installing apps, but my first impressions are positive. The screen is uniformly bright, the keyboard feels firm and solid. I’m very happy with my decision to purchase this unit instead of the new MBP (glossy screen) model. I winded [...]

The recent deaths at Walmart and Toys-R-Us on Black Friday were totally senseless. It’s another reason I avoid stores during the holidays. I much prefer ordering products online. Nobody ever got trampled picking up a package from the mailman. The shift to black and white in the comic was deliberate. I have family over this week, [...]

A few things came in the mail today… I’ve opened the iPod Touch and played with it. What a marvelous gadget! I can see this forever changing my computing habits. The Corsair 16GB USB drive was a replacement unit swapped out by Newegg - the first unit I had was defective out of the box. I still [...]

Today’s comic was sponsored by Tim Russo, who wrote: I’m a computer geek, and it’s my job in the Air Force. I ran across your comic a while back but forgot the address… then this past week at work, reading on bbspot I ran across the link again. I think it’s awesome that you do [...]

This past Tuesday, I placed an order for two items from Amazon.com. On Black Friday, the prices on both items dropped. Needless to say, I was slightly miffed. Now, as of September 1, 2008, Amazon stopped issuing such price refunds (a poor move, I think - especially given how often their prices fluctuate). I wasn’t [...]

I present Friday’s strip a day early, as my Thanksgiving gift to PC Weenies readers. You guys and gals truly deserve it. You’ve added links to your websites to pcweenies.com, told your friends and family about it, and some of you have even appeared in your very own PC Weenies comic. There’s a lot to [...]

Bad experiences used to be just that - confined to a few friends or a private journal entry. That is, until blogs came along… Nowadays, regardless of whether someone has good news or bad news to share, it’s being dumped on the Internet somewhere. -Krishna

It’s Tuesday, and accordingly here are my plugs for the day: 1) New Art & Story Alive podcast is now available for listening. This, along with it’s main show, Art and Story, are my top picks for podcasts related to the craft of making comics. 2) Sequential Artists’ Pub and PCW forums are moving over to Rampage [...]
