The Life and Times of Brian Garside
About a year ago I decided that I wanted a little more flexibility in my PC use. All New Comics was taking up an inordinate amount of time while I was working on what can only be described as “mindless tasks”. This stuff sucked. We’re talking site updates, which involves copying and [...]
This is a time of purging for me right now. I’m in the process of losing a bunch of weight. Char and I are getting stuff ready for a garage sale next weekend. Pete and I are almost ready for the end of August HobbyStar FanExpo Canada. I’m clearing a bunch of designs and layouts [...]
About a month ago I got on a scale and made a horrible discovery, I am now nearly fifty pounds heavier than I was when I got married. This is the latest in a series of increasingly horrifying discoveries. My knees hurt a little, my hands ache a lot, my back is often [...]
Anybody who knows me knows two things about me. 1: I’m not a big car guy, and 2: I love comics. So what happens when the love of one overcomes the apathy of the other? I become a car guy for a day!
On Saturday my dad and I went to the Fleetwood [...]
It’s been a busy few days, with quite a bit of work, and quite a bit of play going on. I had to cram a little to get the monthly All New Comics update done, then this weekend we got some last minute comp tickets to Go Diego Live, watched some fighting, and finished [...]
This is what I did this weekend.
Last weekend I came up with the plan, and my dad and I specced out the wood. I figured that I’d be looking at about $400.00 plus taxes. Looking around at the pre-fab packages, I figured I could do better than theirs for less money, and build [...]
It’s a project months in the making. I purchased the first MDF for it back in September, and actually got to the building of it January 5th. I got the bones of it up in a couple of weekends, and by the middle of January the painting, sanding, painting, re-sanding, and re-painting began [...]
This past weekend was the Toronto ComiCON Fan Appreciation show on Saturday and Sunday at the Metro Convention Centre, Pete and I were there with All New Comics and four tables of our stuff. It was also a chance for Kaylin, Char, and I to have a little mini-vacation in downtown Toronto.
Friday night I [...]
The new All New Comics is indeed still coming soon, but it’s looking like a mid-April launch at this point.
Right now I’m trying to clean the site up for a server move, and the redesign took a little longer than last weekend. I was in good shape until the “hack attack”, and that’s put [...]
RadicalHive is the brainchild of Brian Garside, full time web guru and part time comics pimp. This is my space to talk about comics, technology, the web, and life in general.
