Geeks of Steel – LIVE!

I think we can all agree that Friday night is for partying, whooping it up, and a heroic amount of debauchery. But what about Friday evening? You don’t want to start your drinkin’ too early. If you do, you’ll end up being the first one to pass out amongst your friends, and we all know the horrible / hilarious things we do to our unconscious friends. If you’re lucky, all they’ll do is write on your face in permanent marker. The less fortunate usually wake up in a foreign country and, due to the language barrier, have to use pantomime to explain to the local authorities that his friends were the ones who painted his body like a honey bee and left him naked on their chamber of commerce’s main meeting table.

You don’t want that, do you?

Instead, sit back and listen to a live recording of the Geeks of Steel podcast this Friday night! Geeks of Steel is a weekly podcast hosted by me and Matt Forcum (the cartoonist behind Robot Beach) where we discuss all sorts of geeky stuff. This will be our first attempt at doing a live show and we’re hoping, assuming the technology doesn’t fail us (or vice versa), to make this a regular thing. It’ll be on Matt’s Ustream channel – click here to be whisked away there right now. The broadcast will start around 8:00 PM central time.

Hope to see you guys there!

Happy Birthday, Biff!

The Book of Biff has turned five years old! What is The Book of Biff and why should I care? Excellent questions!

The Book of Biff is a great gag-a-day webcomic created by Chris Hallbeck, which puts the titular character through a gauntlet of surrealistic circumstances.  Also – he has antennae eyebrows for some reason. It’s one of those bizarre, brilliant comics that’s hard to stop clicking through. “One more comic” I’ll think to myself as I’m trying to leave his website.

In celebration of his five year anniversary, Chris is posting guest comics (one of them is drawn by yours truly) and offering 25% off all his books this week. Click here to check him out.

Geeks of Steel Podcast

One of the great things about doing a webcomic is getting to know other webcartoonists. And one of the webcartoonists I’ve gotten to know is Matt Forcum who draws the excellent webcomic Robot Beach (click here to check it out). Matt, as it turns out, shares a lot of my geeky sensibilities – which is tricky to find. Usually I run into folks who aren’t very geeky (which is understandable) or way too geeky (which is usually creepy).

Matt and I have had many wonderfully geeky conversations over Skype. Then it hit us: It’s wrong to hoard all this dorky conversation to ourselves. We should allow other people to hear us talk about everything from Batman’s butler’s drinking problem to zombies pulling jury duty. So we’re starting a weekly podcast called “Geeks of Steel”.

Our first two episodes are up and ready for yer ears (click here to check ’em out). Our plan is to have a new episode up every Sunday night (give you something to take to work with you on Monday). If you got any feedback regarding the show, please feel free to email us at geeksofsteel@gmail.com.

Random Nonsense vs Focused Nonsense

Lemme bounce this off you guys:

I’ve been thinking about doing some Bug strips that stay on a particular subject for a full week; like doing a whole week where I riff on going to movie theaters. Stuff like that. I was (and am) a bit worried that devoting a whole week to a subject may turn some people off, but folks seemed to like the Zombie Week I did a while back – though I’m sure that had more to do to people just liking zombies.

I don’t think it’d be a regular thing, just something to break up the monotony every month or so, but who knows? It might be a new way for me to do these strips. I’ve been drawing these strips for around a year and a half now and I still feel like I haven’t gotten a real grasp on how to do it. If memory serves, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the creators of South Park) said they didn’t really figure out their show until season five or six, and I’m sure this strip will be very different five years from now, both visually and writing-wise.

So what do you guys think?

Bugify Your Desktop

I finally had some free time this weekend to create and upload some desktop wallpaper. It’s located in the top menu bar. Now I know it isn’t much and my presentation is sorely lacking.  This was sort of a trial-run. I’ve never made wallpaper before and had no idea how many screen sizes I should make or how I was going to upload and present them all. Eventually I’ll figure out how to layout the info better and I plan to make more interesting wallpapers (and avatars) in the months to come.

I also want to thank Mary Varn, creator of the wonderfully geeky webcomic: NPC – click here to check it out, for all her help. I bothered her with many emails asking her questions like, “What sizes should I make the wallpaper at?” and “How do I get all this to display properly?” and “Why must all this stuff be so difficult?” and “Should I have a doctor look at this lump on my neck?”. Her knowledge and patience has been indispensable.

So have fun with the wallpaper. I’ll hopefully have time to make more goodies for you guys in the coming months.
