Gadgets!

The comic is a hobby of mine, and as such I update it whenever it is feasible for me to waste the time necessary to draw a comic.  Drawing is not my only time sink, however, and I’m starting a new section of the site to showcase some of my other work.  Over the coming weeks, I will be fleshing out the Gadgets section visible on the top menu bar.   Feel free to ask questions or request specific articles as I introduce more pages to the section.  I have included a walkthrough of my first surface-mount soldering attempt, which will probably not interest most of you but it will give you an idea of what I do.  Over the coming week, I plan on putting up a long overdue teardown of a solar-powered walkway light available at your local Wal-Mart (for all your creative engineering needs) and a lot of information, including pictures, of the costume I built for Dragon*Con.  With any luck, I’ll figure out these YourTubes things and even post some videos, but don’t hold your collective breath.  Please check it out and let me know what you think.  I will try to do this in addition to comic updates, but if I am not capable of producing a comic I will at least try to give you something here.

Sorry for the delays

Sorry, y’all. I’ve been busy straightening out a good bit of household upheaval and frankly have been a bit down on myself and my work. I’m just not in the mood to cartoon right now, and since it’s a totally voluntary effort I’m putting it aside for the rest of the week. If I feel better, I’ll return next Wednesday.

For those who have been waiting, that includes updates to my gadgets page. I’m actually a bit in to working on some of that stuff right now, I just don’t want to be working on this site. It was a stretch to convince myself to log in today and say I wouldn’t be updating for a week; I certainly won’t be loitering to update gadgets just yet.
