So I've gone to Wordpress for a web comic that I'm currently doing right now. I'm finishing the sixth page right now for this first story. I've been meaning to hammer out these stories for such a long time, but I always want to tell these long form stories. Now I'm just forcing myself to tell short, six to eight page stories that I want to tell. Maybe do something longer. The upside is that I'm working on something. It's been a real long time since I've done that. Downside, the Wordpress thing that I've chosen only allows me a one page a day. So on the plus side, I have up until the eighteenth planned out. 

I'm also going to be switching up tools when I draw. This first story was done on Corel Canvas X with the pencil tool. It's sloppy. Next up, I'm going to try what one of my favorite illustrators does and use Illustrator. 

I'm also probably going to move this blog to WordPress as well. I'm really impresses with Wordpress 2.5, it is leap and bounds over 1.2 when first tried an install. 

My son is also drew something.  Here it is.

Ernest Borgnine, 91, has told people on Fox his secret to looking and staying young. The commentators on FOX said that he looked like he was in his late 60's early 70's. Truth be told, Borgnine does look younger than his age. When asked about why looked young, he smiled wide and whispered his secret, the mic picked it up and the entire couchpoters just broke into laughter.

You should listen to what Ernest does to stay young.

Movable Type 4.2 final release just came out today. So I'm wondering how it's going to work overall. Is there going to be an overall speed boost. Does it choke a donkey with it's RAM hoggin'?

I wish this was actually Morgan Freeman doing the narration for this "documentary."

Apple Flaws

I've been an Apple user for a long time. A really long time. There was a time that I almost switched over. I've been comfortable with Windows. Never delved into the Linux world. But I've always been a Mac users. 

Now I'm seeing some cracks in the perfectly molded Apple face. I think it has to do with Apple stretching themselves to far, to quickly. Apple makes great products, almost so stunning that everyone else starts to follow in their steps for design. 

But the writing was on the wall when Apple had to shift over the OS team to the iPhone team to get the product out on time. On top of that the launches of Mobile Me and some bugs in the Apple OS/software lines are starting to show up. 

There will be about three updates in under five months. I don't remember the last time that has happened. Outside of security updates, this is has been pretty rapid for Apple.

So beautiful. There is something so strange and beautiful about lighting. It's such a beautiful dance of light.

You know the personable geeky Sprint guy from the Alltel commercials before the switched him to the weird guy with the fro? Well, he's called Dirty Jay and he has a YouTube channel, called, Dirty Jay, mack daddy. He dispenses sage like wisdom on how to not be a loser with the ladies.

I guess his sexual addiction was what got him taken out of the Alltel commercials.
