We've woken up, but we still need a cure to Insomnia The news broke several days ago now that Insomnia Publications had released all of its creators from their contracts. Everyone received a short, polite email from publisher Crawford Coutts, and thus ended many weeks of speculation, worry, and countless threats of violence. The rumour mill continues to...
Wake up Insomnia Publications - It's the Sleepless... This is blog post asking for your support for a project that I'm involved in. I have written lots of blog posts like this. I'm normally shilling something, a new grahic novel, a new web site, or something else that I've created and now I'm hoping that you'll adore. I normally want your money too, as...
Chris vs. Five Reasons iPhone vs. Android isn't Mac... Tim O'Reilly tweeted out what he called a "compelling" article today, the titular "Five Reasons iPhone vs. Android isn't Mac vs Windows" by Mark Sigal. Having read the article I countered by tweeting that I thought the article was "biased" and "unbalanced". Tim, in turn, was gracious enough to tweet...

Two wise monkeys and me: It's the Comic Book Outsiders... Last year the Bristol Comic Expo played host to a round table discussion between the twin publishing mights of Monkeys with Machineguns and Orang Utan comics, the crew from Geek Syndicate, and some hardcore comic fans, all masterfully hosted and chaired by the erudite genius Scott Grandison. The result...

It’s a big … flying … car, but it is certainly no Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

What is Drupal? … in 57 seconds | pingVision.
They definitely explain Drupal faster than I can, and it is a lovely example of some kinetic typography at the same time.

Originally broadcast on the [adult swim] network, this is certainly a more mature take on the franchise, the cartoon that adult fans of the ‘Joe franchise will no doubt refer to as “The GI Joe Cartoon we’ve been waiting for”.

If you are intrigued like me, you can follow Mercury Men on Twitter.

YouTube – Real Wolverine Claws – Homemade – X-Men.
That’s right. Real Wolverine claws.
Comic books cause violence, it’s official. It would appear that they also cause engineering, which is not as bad.
Webshooters next?
