COMIC LIFE
I had some downtime this past weekend. Man, talk about having a luxury. It was nice to just get around and do things without having something running in the back of my mind. When we got home I started browsing through our massive picture collection.
Some of those shots are quite comical. And then it hit me, heh, I should post a comic strip with the frames containing shots we’ve taken, full with comic style captions.
On a whim I decided to see if there were any apps, for the Mac that would make this easy. If not, there was always Photoshop. The search didn’t last for very long. Within seconds, I was on the home page for Comic Life.
I downloaded it and within a few more minutes had produced a test comic:

Hmm, okay, I could be a lot more whimsical, but this was just an attempt to get familiar with the app. It’s easy, fun to use, and the kids got a blast out of it. I think it’s time I had a weekly syndicated strip running here.
Come to think of it, it’s easy enough to create “comic” style images out of photos in Photoshop. This could be fun … (I rub my hands together with a grin like Mr. Grinch’s)

Spending will make you happier, but not in the way you think. Interesting read over at Secular Philosophy.

Chrisopher Hitchens nails it yet again with this piece for Slate Magazine. After reading the piece, I’m inclined to agree with a lot of it.

When flying 35,000 feet above land, I stare down at the natural landscape and marvel at it ... and every time I fly over a city, town, etc. ... I can’t help but to think ... so this is what cancer looks like.
I know, it’s harsh, but have a look, cities and towns just don’t blend very well with the natural landscape.

According to this read over at Dailytech, the XBOX360 has a 33% failure rate! Like what?? Like how much? Like one in every three units will have hardware failure! I love my box ... and I’m touching wood it stays in with the other 66%.

Old news for some of you out there, but “Demon Days” by Gorillaz ... not bad eh? Not bad at all. Nice tunes on that list.

Yes it’s true .. i know Gorn and I also know ShoeGirl. Personally, I think he could have gone a lot more than 30 days.

A 16 year old girl proclaimed she is an atheist. The reporter asked her why and she promptly replied, “I was born that way.”
Interesting ... she’s right, you know.

Kingdom Of Heaven: The story of Balian’s quest for redemption and his battles against those who seek power in it’s name. This is an excellent movie whose message is perhaps more important today than it was then.
Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.
"Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.
As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
