The Dark Knight

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Oh man, just got back from the midnight show… that was amazing. Loved every second. Very good, fantastic film. But you all knew that, yeah?

Go, enjoy, I gotta get at least a LITTLE bit of sleep before driving to Austin… though it’s not likely I’ll be able to sleep after that…

Feel free to post your thoughts on the movie here — I’ll try to check the comments from the hotel if I can over the weekend.

Austin Report

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Greetings all, I’m back, healthy and a lot less wealthy from a great weekend in Austin. I got to see RX Bandits live, which I’ve been wanting to do for a long time now, and it was greatness, they put on a great show. Spent some time at Lake Travis, saw some old friends, saw some great jazz, and had some great drinks, and also saw Batman again. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect little mini-vacation.

I was worried my iPod wouldn’t make it through the weekend, since I couldn’t find my charger… but ‘Ein’ (thats my iPod’s name, actually, its the ‘Ein Mark II’) held up great, and I still had some charge left after listening to it all the way there, around town over the weekend, and through the drive back as well. Go Apple! (Who thought I’d ever be saying that?)

But now I’m back, and we’re startin’ up a new storyline that’ll change the status quo of our Dorks here for a little while — stay tuned, constant readers!

Searching

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Ok, lets be honest. Some of those search results in today’s strip are not real. But I promise you, that first one IS real. In fact, it was the very first thing that came up when I searched the phrase “how to make a resumay.”

I don’t know what it is, I didn’t click it, but somehow that bit about becoming “Overlord of the Universe” is the first thing Google pulled up. I don’t know about you, but I’d hire that guy. Instantly.

I love the internet!
