tear down the house that I grew up in...


We've moved into our new house. Well "new" house is a misnomer, as it was built by my great grandfather and being worked on by us for the last year or so.  Everything is unsettled and messy and I'm stuck with dial-up for the next 4 days... DIAL-UP. ugh...

The Morning After (Demo)





Pretty rough, I've only played it a few times, I'll prolly settle into it after another 50 runs.... I can post lyrics/tabs later.

screencap software?


I need to record short movies of my desktop, and can't find a freeware program to do it.

Help!

Please suggest something (for mac) that I can record with!

The Watchmen motion comics


I wrote this for another site, a small, quick and probably too easy to snark at review of the brilliant new vehicle for DC comics online, "motion comics" which most people would call "crappy animation", in the vein of "Haunted Man" (anyone else remember "Haunted Man" webcomics?)

in the 3rd part we talk comics.


Man, I got classes to teach today. I love this day. Nothing like teaching kids how to make things and draw stuff...Even if it's about 40 kids in 5 hours. It's my personal belief that because of the art they wont be Nazis when they're older. (Course, it didn't help Hitler, so there's an argument either way.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO-MO!)

These are for our kitchen backsplash, one of a set of tiles that sort of pick up on personal themes and inside jokes in our family. Although m wife has done the lion's share of designs i did a few more:

Song Sketch (Casey)


I sent this over to Nich to see if it's HangDog material. Steve and Grant, feel free to input as well if you think there's something worth working on:


Here's the lyrics/tabs:

(Am)in the straight swath path that a bullet makes
(Em)Casey steps up and taps the plate
(Dm)and mutters "this is your brain on the the war on drugs"
(E7)and hits it out of the park, sweeps it under the rug

and later at the fight, in his ring side seat
dreaming of the bed in his hotel suite
he'll think back to a time when it was all so blue
