Snafu Comics

Yo!

Just want to pass along something that a friend clued me into last week. I've been reading it for the last several days. Now, I'm a fan of several web-comics and have been for many years... Penny Arcade, XKCD, and now my new favorite... Snafu Comics! Great stuff! Everyone must check it out. I'm loving the Powerpuff Girls and Grimm Tales. I even joined the forums. I have their feed down to the right or simply click the title above.

Looking for more stuff to follow...

Yo friend-o-mites!

I'm still looking for more blogs to follow. I'm scouring the intertubes for fun and interesting things. If you come across anything that might be in the relm of art, comics, manga, anime, gadgets, cartoons or anything relevant please let me know! I want to read it!

Tidbits...

Hello friends.

Sorry for the late postings. Busy week.

First off, I want to say that my wife and I celebrated our two year anniversary on the 16th. We have a plan to go to St. Augustine but something always seems to pop up and postpone it. :( I love you Heather and thank you for the best years of my life. :)

I hope everyone is enjoying the the iPhone 3.0 update. I didn't have a smooth transition. Something messed iTunes up and I had a doo doo time getting everything back to normal. All is well now.

Should be back to normal next week. Might even be able to get some work done.

It is the end of the WORLD....of Warcraft...

Yes, an era has come to an end. As of last saturday I've terminated my World of Warcraft account. I don't have the time to play and thus can not justify the expense. I've already posted a message on my guilds forum giving them the bad news.

I enjoyed playing my human warlock. It was a real extension of my personality. Will I ever return to WoW? I don't know.

Good luck to the rest of Prestige. May you're loots be purple!

Current work...

Just a preview of my current project. Don't have a name for her yet. Keep an eye out.

Futurama is back...

The Hollywood Reporter stated today that Comedy Central has ordered 26 episodes of the once cancelled Fox show by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. The series is returning sometime in mid 2010.

You can view the whole story here.

YES! Great news! We bring back another one!

iPhone 3GS...

So, everyone all caught up on iPhone news? Good, I don't want to recap everything.

Basically, we have a new iPhone model. The 3GS. Faster, better camera, a few more features verses the 3G. A logical step in the evolution of the iPhone. All the announcements were within what it was speculated to be.

Of course, that means there's a bunch of people who are up in arms about the price. AT&T customers who are already in a contract won't get the subsidized price for the 3GS which is they way it should be. Sure, it sucks, but that's what you get.

My only gripe about the deal is that AT&T is really dropping the ball on the service. There are features that will not be up and running at launch because of AT&T's negligence. Plain and simple. If AT&T were smart they would get this fixed and fast.

I'm only six months into my contract so that means unless my iPhone breaks or something I won't be upgrading for another year and a half. Which, by then there is bound to be a newer iPhone model released. I'm patient. :)

WWDC...

Apple kicks off the 2009 WWDC tomorrow with the keynote speech starting at 1:00 EST. Showcasing more on the iPhone 3.0 software and quite possibly a new iphone model. You can check out the liveblogs at Engadget and Gizmodo. Both are great, but in the past it seems that Engadget gets the info up in the blog sooner. :P

I'll be watching from work and will have some views later on in the day.

Office-ing...

Even though the summer months are the busiest time at Team Jedi sometimes it doesn't seem so. So, while I was caught up on work I took some pictures.

Left monitor... nothing in PS... :(

Yes, that's my Initech mug and no you can't have it.

I know I had others but I either deleted them from my iPhone or... I didn't click the picture button. :P Ohwell, more soon.

Followers...

I'm new to this blogging thing. Although, I've been working to get some of the company's blogs up and running I've really not gotten into the whole "scene" of bloggging.

I started following a few blogs. Entertainment Earth is the first. Great store. I have a wishlist there a mile long. :) Also, a few friends are getting their own blogs and sites up. I should be adding them in the next few days. Followers are welcome! :) And if you think you write stuff that I would find interesting please drop me a line!

I know I don't have anything of great interest on my blog. I hope to change that... although... it may be some time before anything of value appears. In the meantime I'll just post my ramblings and hope something comes from them.

Tidbits...

Hello. Just some small rearrangements. I took down my MySpace link, well... really because I dislike MySpace more and more each day. I'd much rather just use Facebook to keep up-to-date on things. It's just easier. I've also put a link to my Mania profile. Why? Well, I like the site. Has a lot of stuff of interest and I'd like to be able to use it more. I've already put some review links down at the bottom so people can check some of their content out. Plus, they have contests with some nice prizes. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you all about how I won an awesome figure from them. :) So, yes... check them out.

Also, I've put a link to www.dannychoo.com. Another of my favorite sites. Great stuff on figures, Japan and otaku culture in general. Great stuff. Highly recommended. Who knows... if I can get my stuff together you may be seeing a dancing stormtrooper around G'ville. :)

Going to be doing some spring cleaning this weekend. I'm hoping to get the office cleaned up and better organized. I need shelving, but my wife wants to turn it into the babies room. Which... I can't argue with. Something about babies needing a room or something. Pfffft...

Excellent...

Things are moving right along. I've got a few more links off stuff from some of my favorite sites that I'd like to share to the right. Please check those out.

Since last weekend was busy I didn't get to start on my own content. There's so much stuff I'd like to mention, but for now just this: The trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic is out. I read about this a few months ago and really didn't pay it any attention. The article was about how they're really trying to re-invent MMO's and add all kinds of new elements and blah blah. Everyone is trying to bring out the next WoW-killer. You can check out the trailer Here. The cinematic looks fantastic and has me really looking forward to see what Bioware has in store for us as far as gameplay goes.

This will have to do for now. More soon.
