The laptop or desktop dilemma

In: About Me

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 [...]

Everything must go!

In: About Me

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 [...]

Belly Off Plan Part One: The ugly truth

In: About Me

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 [...]

Holy Bat-History Batman!

In: About Me

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 [...]

Play hard, work hard

In: Our Family

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 [...]

I call it…the monstrosity

In: About Me, Media

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 [...]

The Behemoth is finished (mostly)

In: About Me

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 [...]

Of comic shows and hometels

In: About Me, Comics

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 [...]

Whither All New Comics?

In: About Me, Internet

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 [...]
