I have always wanted to make my own comic, and today I decided my wife was just way to dang funny not to be a comic character! Anyway, I am going to leave it as a sticky post at my blog and update it as much as possible. I also need to get photoshop or something cause it looks rough with the uploading / auto-resizing.

Anyway, feel free to leave a post on it if you like it, hate it, or wanna see more or something

Cheers

nice. you should try doing it in flash, or something like that so the lines would be smooth.

Cute. You might also want to check your use of "your" and "you're."

I read your blog entry on Vista, and as an official Vista tester, I have to say, Vista feels like you're constantly fighting it, trying to get it to do what you want, and Microsoft has done the best they can in hiding features. Running an XP Vista theme is a poor way to gauge how bad Vista's interface is.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

Well I have been gone from Windows for a good long time. Installing that theme pack does change the UI quite alot and I think it is really well done. I have also been selected into the beta test, and have a copy of Vista. I just have not yet installed and checked it out. Hopefully it will be cleaned up and ready to ship Q1 2007

You have good drawing skill to make a comic. I have no idea what club pogo is though, so I didn't really relate to the joke (other than the obvious addicition stuff...)

Head over to pogo.com and check it out. Basically it is a collection of online games to play. When you make an account and pay for the full membership you can win badges and stuff by playing certain games each week. There is always a new challenge to earn something new, hense the addiction
