My Tentative Steps to Upgrade Wordpress
on Oct 1, 2009I’ve been using Wordpress version 2.6.3 since I started this blog back in December of 2008, and I’m thinking it might be time for an upgrade, but I’m terrified that I’m going to end up destroying not only the site, but ruining...

LastFm Internet Radio & Mislabeled Music
on Sep 29, 2009I get a kick out of Lastfm, and I’m blabbed on about it a lot here.  I can deal with their intro advertisements (for now) for hydrogenated breakfast pastries, because, to me, it remains one of the best, and fastest, online radio systems.  Hav...

December Sun #4 - Page 5
on Sep 28, 2009Another week of thrilling restaurant dialog, with more artistic experimentation.  I won’t lie: looking at these panels, I’d probably redraw most of these had I the time.  But instead of reworking old pages, I just like to move on.  DS#...

Cox & Kings Catalog: I’m too poor to be on this catalog distribution
on Sep 24, 2009I just received a Cox & Kings catalog in the mail, advertising “exquisite cultural and wildlife adventures”, but ideally, this should have included the caveat, “for rich people”.  While the catalog is nice and colorful an...

December Sun #4 - Page 4
on Sep 21, 2009Exciting restaurant dialog!

Free comic books! (albeit, comic books about monetary policy, foreign exhcange, and the federal reserve system!)
on Sep 18, 2009For anyone looking for some thrilling comic book reading about topics such as economics of scale, inflation, or foreign trade and exchange, if you visit the Federal Reserve System you can request some free comics to be sent to you (well, “free&...

WebSiteGrader and Technorati
on Sep 18, 2009I just had this site “graded” over at WebSiteGrader, and it looks like dscomic isn’t doing too bad in terms of SEO and meta stuff. What I like about WebSiteGrader is that it gives you helpful tips and advice to improve your site in...

December Sun #4 - Page 3
on Sep 14, 2009Third page of issue #4, and I did a lot of this page with quill and wax pencils.  I like the effect in the second panel, but it can be difficult to get the shadows right (and also hard to scan and get right with Photoshop).
