WHAT!?!



I often find myself wishing I had a button that would force the caller to pick up the phone. happy Wednesday everyone. Only two more days until the weekend. Woop!

Don't mess with I.T.


I took his powerpoint, embedded it into a word document, then pasted that word doc into a excel spreadsheet, then I compressed the excel sheet, winrar'ed the compressed file, winzipped it and then sent it to a linux server where I changed the winzipped file into a .tar extension. Once that was done, I took a screenshot of the .tar file, and emailed that using AOL and a 5kb modem.

Take that!

Yay comics! In multiple colors no less! By the way, you should be reading KC Greens comic. I do, and I like it, lots.

Magical Solutions

This is the most common answer heard to almost any difficult question. Or for that matter, any question you don't feel like answering. Anyhow, that genie has his work cut out for him.

Restroom Manners Enforcement


I know many of you might find it hard to stay off the phone while in the lavatory (fancy word for boom closet), but do please try. If you can't then at least shut off the ringer, and pretend you are talking to yourself. You know , like a crazy person would. A crazy person that would like to have a phone conversation while doing the needful in the bathroom.

By the way, I do now have a store, with more coming soon to it. This weekend I am going to try and get some new items in there that might catch your eye.

Updates, Tasks, and Thunder dome

This is Thunderdome, people. You know the rules. When two tribes go to war and all that. Happy monday everyone. Dont worry, the laptop merely completed the task and the updates. Well done, laptop, well done.

He broke my machine


This one goes out to all the tech industry people that enjoy polite conversations where the audience isn't actually listening to you. you know the ones. Family, co-workers, that guy at starbucks who asks what you do, and when you tell him, his eyes glaze over and he starts drooling. sorry I havent posted on a regular basis. I have been troubled lately in trying to come up with a good humorous comic. My writing just doesnt always flow. I have to talk to my muse about that. Damnit what am I paying her for anyway? Also, I had to move my office. It is now located in my bedroom, up against a wall. with laundry on the chair.
did I mention my office is literally a corner of my bedroom? Im sure this is how Stephen King got started. Well he probably did, but still.

Firewalls and the End of the World

I know that this is very very unlikely. Firewalls are like babies to a sys admin or IT professional. It is the sort of thing that you would have to hold the guy back from the building as it burned. Or shoot the zombies, stave off the mutants etc. I realized a little late that I kinda skimped on the backgrounds for this one. I need to work on backgrounds in general, and how to merge them with text and the focus characters saying the lines.

Sadly this has little to do with you. You just want me to, as the immortal Homer Simpson said,

"be more funny."

I will do my best to do that. Also, I am following the mantra of my idol Jeph from Questionable content, (which by the way you really need to read) and practicing like a maniac. The tablet is indeed a bit different than good old paper and pencil/pen.

Oh my god, I am getting old.(No kidding)


My wife and I realized this morning that our wedding anniversary was coming up on the 16th(or17th). Providence decided that we would always celebrate after receiving a paycheck. This past year has been a doozy. Without going into too much drama, we have had some serious 'discussions'. I have also dealt with a lot of humbling experiences, from losing my job, and my house, to dealing with a pretty fucked up knee, and the fun of high blood pressure medications, like some 80 year old.

When we first met, I was working in a start up that was going to re-write on line auctions with state of the art development. Year and a half later, I found myself out of work. We had to scramble, but soon I found better, and my technical skills became much more useful, as well as my ability to talk to people. I know, its weird that people actually don't listen much anymore. Especially in technology. It seems that the loudest voice carries the day, rather than the quiet one that mentions that the loud guy is talking about impossible things. But I digress.

I have always played around with my artwork. After having my child, I thought I would never have time for it again. I am glad that I have bit the bullet so to speak, and bought all the tools necessary to do some hard artwork. I'm going to start with just some light sketches, but I can tell that with a little time and humor, I can get things really moving on this. If it doesn't work out, I will still have enjoyed doing it, for arts sake (little cliché, but whatever).
