I can officially say that this Diesel Sweeties is my favorite webcomic of the year so far. That is all.

Wow, that title works in so many ways. First off, we have two new servers up and running, which should help solve some long-running issues on our end. That’s not why we’ve been down lately – that was primarily due to the massive ice storm that rendered huge chunks of Ohio powerless for a week […]

I’m sitting here in Seattle’s in downtown Wooster, where I came first thing this morning to start scouring the web for info on Laura. We just found out she’s OK, and as a result I’m sitting here with my first-ever decaf coffee in my hand. This one’s for you, chica.

I just got word that Laura checked in with the US Consulate at 4AM our time. She’s fine — shaken but fine. Now I’m just waiting to hear from her. Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers. This is the best Christmas present I could have ever hoped for.

No sooner did I post that, then I swung by Shana’s weblog and saw that she was OK. Whew. OK, so half of my missing friends are okay, and we’re on high watch duty for the other one. Please keep Laura in your prayers, OK?

Hey, all. I know some of you aren’t of the praying variety, but for those of you that are, please extend your prayers for Shana West and Laura Thomas, two of my friends who were in Thailand this morning when the disaster struck. Neither of them has been heard from yet, as far as I […]

Yesterday, my friend Sara was horrified – horrified – that my Christmas shopping wasn’t finished. In fact, I had barely even started it. In fact, I hadn’t bought a single thing. She was also appalled that I wasn’t that stressed out about it. Today, I did my Christmas shopping. All of it. Granted, there was […]

I have officially declared today The Day Things Get Done, wherein I will finish a whole pile of little projects and get them all out of my hair. This includes things like client gigs, Christmas cards, Christmas shopping, etc. I was feeling overwhelmed until I read this interview with comics author Grant Morrison, wherein Mr. […]

There’s a fascinating article in the January MIT Technology Review called “A New Idea for Publishing“, in which John Battelle suggests a system by which publishers can pick and choose from an array of advertisers. Definitely worth future research.

If you’re a friend of mine who reads this weblog and has some time and initiative, I’m rapidly coming to realize that I simply can’t run the new Inkblots as a one-person shop. If you want to join our new rapidly-forming editorial board, email me with a pitch – your would-be job title and description. […]
