New Comic Friday
This week’s new comic messes with Mister In-Between.
Just in the nick of time…
This week’s new comic is based off of an annoying and frustrating dream I had.
Book Quiz
I think I may have taken this one before…
You’re The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!
by Douglas Adams
Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are
quite an entertainer. You’ve also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,
often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,
but it’s shown you so much of the world that you don’t care. Wacky adventures continue to
lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42.

Walkability
Found an interesting little site called Walk Score. It helps determine how “walkable” your address is, finding nearby stores, theaters, libraries and such to see how close you are to useful places so that you can get to them without having to do a lot of driving.
My house scores a rather poor 40 / 100. How ’bout yours?

Looking for Group – The Musical!
Ok, so there’s this very fun little webcomic called “Looking for Group” based – moderately loosely – on World of Warcraft. I’ve turned a couple of my Warcraft playing buddies on to it, and they’re now semi-rabid fans of the comic. Partially this is because our group of characters matches up pretty well to the cast of the comic (I play the vicious undead warlock), but also because the comic is wickedly funny and quite well drawn.
At any rate, the creators of the comic have been dropping hints for the past few months about a top secret animation project that they’ve been working hard on, and they’ve just unveiled the first fruits of their labors…
And if you watch to the end, you’ll see that there’s going to be a full-length animated feature coming up next year. I approve.
Reviews!
Over the weekend, I completed an on-line project that’s been lurking in the wings ever since the move to the new server: the creation of a dedicated blog for my Wife’s Japanese Snack Food Review.
There’s still a few things that need tweaking, and I’m sure there’s going to be more than a fair bit of teething problems as we get to work transferring and recatagorizing the past several years worth of reviews. Still, it’ll be worth it for the added functionality of having the snacks viewable by various keywords.
