Nice Train...

Oh, those wacky Japanese...

Endor nightmares...

This will haunt my dreams for days to come...

No, really...

I'll post here, soon.

In the meantime

you should be reading

the web comic!

Where, oh where, has the Kilted Chuck gone...?

Where, oh where can I be?

Yeah, sorry it's been quiet here.

The evils of Facebook

and the demands of the new

Neverland Transit Authority

have left me tapped

and silent.

Look for things to get going

around here, again,

next month.

No, seriously.

I promise.

A cry for help...

I don't usually get too political here, but today is a rather special day. Today I found out that, after three months of working very hard, I qualified for medical insurance through my employer at my day job... only to discover that the *BUDGET* plan was too pricey for me to afford at my pay level.

Okay, that's not quite true. Yes, I could afford it. But not it, plus makes end's meet, save for the future, and have much of a meaningfully active life.

So, today I can speak with real authority to the conservatives and right wing tea bagging idiots out there, when I tell them; "FUCK OFF. I'M A HARD WORKING, LAW ABIDING, TAX PAYING AMERICAN THAT GIVES BACK TO HIS COMMUNITY AND BELIEVES IN EARNING HIS LIVING;" as one of the crux of their arguments about those 45,000 that die every year from under coverage must be they're lazy, or something.

Of course, I think Keith can sometimes sum it up a lot better than I...

Please, please, please... this isn't about egos, getting re elected, or the partisan philosophies of your constituants. This is about American lives... Human lives.. Our lives. There are 34 countries doing better at health care then us, right now. Shouldn't we stop puffing our delusional chests and maybe learn how to treat our people better?

Suddenly I am a huge Kirsten Dunst fan!

Dear Cosplayers...

Thanks! And keep up the good work!

One of the Living

Few people actually remember this track

from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome;

but it's one of my all time favorites.

The new eighth wonder of the world!

Fifteen years later, Bill Watterson talks about Calvin and Hobbes.

Karaoke parody in progress...

Ta-da! IronChuck has been busy with other project, outside of the floundering Galactic Gun.

This is a promotional poster in development for Roger Niner Karaoke; which started as just an inside joke involving The Karaoke Ninja - a throw away character and running gag for a few years now.

I have no idea from what dark, silly part of my mind he sprung from, but I've been scribbling him down on napkins and paper slips for some time. Lately he's migrated into the world of Roger Niner, and the epic silliness that ensues any given night.

Once finished, this will be a promotional poster parodying a famous martial arts movie. From there, I think I may have a little fun and do one or two more; each a parody from another film genre.

Stuff: Car Sick

So, after two tows and a few hundred dollars, it seems that poor old Dangermouse has a failing cpu. And how much will it cost to replace a small little plastic bow with circuit board and heat sink? $500! (And that's before tax.)

Of course, Mama Irons has a point when she exclaimed; "why does a car need a computer, again?! There's no computer in a '58 Dodge truck, and it runs just fine." Of course, her point aside, it's important to remember that DM can go over one third of the coast on a single tank of gas and puts out very little pollutants, compared to the '58 Dodge.

"The Mamoth" (No, not a spelling error; that's how he pronounces it.) is a loaner. He's a '92 GMC Sierra. He has a turning radius measured in yards. His fuel economy is rated in gallons per mile. He has a cassette deck and an old radio. I've been fiddling with the radio, trying to find some decent music. Clearly radio stations have suffered much since I last tuned in; every hour of programming is really less than twenty minutes of music. Most of it is just the same crap served over and over and over again.

I get Dangermouse back this coming weekend. I'm gonna burn me up some major music discs and we're going on a road trip...

The People's Mario...

Struggle on, my plumber comrade!

Badgering the Witless

Beware of "F-bomb".

OMG! WTF! NARWHALS!

iWant?

Apple's new release...

End of a computing era

or well packaged fail?

My card...

Beware, the next time they're

passing out business cards at

the big meeting; it could also

be a penny shooter!

Rockin' Robin?

It's supposed to be avaunt guard...

But I bet you've got the same

silly grin I do, now.

Metered fun!

After months of hard work and a huge learning curve,

I am proud to announce the release of

The Comic Hero Meter for the iPhone

from aHandSoft and Neverland Transit Authority.

In brightest day, in darkest night, no evil shall eascape my cosplayer might!

I got to tell you, I'm beginning to rethink

my objections to the whole

Green Lantern thing...

Oh, Four Tuna!

I always wondered what the words were...

Hover cat is going up stairs...

Stuff: Rainy Day Commute

(Click to enlarge)

So the first major storm hit the Silicon Valley this week; dumping loads of water everywhere. And while we really need it, many here wish we got it more in small amounts through the year, and less all at one time at the beginning.

Personally, I wish so many California commuters brains weren't water soluble. Seriously, it's really wet and slippery out there, folks. How about easing up on the pedal a little, okay?

Game Time!

First Person Tetris...

Crap, am I dizzy!

Welcome to Cecil Field spaceport!

The Unbroken Thread

The fourth video from the Symphony of Science series...

I love it when a Hollywood 80's TV show cover movie comes together...

Yeah, sure... why not?

It's geeky... and it tastes delicious!

100 cupcakes, 100 games.

Can you name them all?

(And not get hungry?)

Oh yeah?! Well, you know what you are...?

Looking for a good put down?

Let cinema be your guide.

Kick ass?

And here we go folks. The bloody, and over the top,

mini series from Marvel, Kick Ass, is coming to the big screen.

Curious? Check out the general audiences trailers...

And, the RED BAND trailer...

2009, a year in review...

From the kids at Jib Jab...

Things that make you go "hmmmm"...

The end of the old year and the beginning of the new is usually the season for lists.

So, here's a list of 50 things we know now that we didn't know this time last year.

Stuff: So long, 2009.

(Click to enlarge.)

Holy shite... has it been a year, or what?! Lay offs, tanking economy, foreclosures, a political mess in the capitol, escalating wars... The list just goes on.

Yeah, I had a regular day job that paid for my adventures abroad, as well as here, in cyberspace. But a corporate merger, and out sourcing of my position, all to save money in a declining market, took just about everything away from me. Again. (And for the record, my break up didn't have as much to do with my job loss as other personal issues.)

It's been a tough few months, as I get back on my feet, heading forward into that big, beautiful horizon, once more. Yeah, I've got me some resolutions; get back into shape (Boy, can being unemployed pack on the pounds!), get myself deeper into the music scene, make a ton of new friends, blog a lot more, and - of course - get the comic running again.

I'd like to take a moment to send a big thanks to Roger Niner and all the karaoke regulars at The Swingin' Door (As well as the occasional Sunday at Butter.); those crazy nights helped keep me going in so many ways. Couldn't have done it with out you all!

Alright, 2010... Come get some!
