Life, Lust, and Silly Puns

Eyebrows are so expressive. Anyway, I apologize for another physics-related comic, but this idea was too good to pass up. Also, it's my first 9-panel comic! I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but whatever; enjoy!



If you could leave some feedback on background color, that would help cuz it's kinda hard to choose.

Also, I tried the Motorola Droid in-store today, and it was FREAKING SICK

I would like to blame school stuff for not making comics as often anymore, but honestly, it's cuz i'm lazy. Well anyway I don't want to study for physics, so i made this comic instead. I know, i'm such an idiot :P

Even if this comic doesn't really make much sense, it was pretty fun to draw.



i'll add more comics whenever i overcome my laziness. i swear i have like two or three ideas waiting to be drawn, but :|

did i mention i REALLY want a Motorola Droid, like holy freaking crap. sooooooooo sexyyyyy

So instead of studying for my math test, I decided to build a headphone amp. It's a good learning project I suppose. Well I did learn how to solder, which I was pretty sketchy in before. So anyway I followed some online instructions, found a sweet Jelly Belly tin from wayyyyyyy back and began. I started Saturday evening, finished today, which is Sunday morning. At first it generated crackly sound, so then I used my magical magic powers. But turns out I didn't use enough, so then only the right channel worked fine. So I decided to fix it the old fashioned way (taking it apart omfg) and after soldering and pretending to know what I was doing, I put it all together and it worked. And now I have this sweet headphone amp that didn't cost that much.

If words are too much for you, check out this column of pictures that doesn't really tell a complete story.








Yes, I wired the board, I just didn't show the soldering process. It didn't come pre-built (cuz that's lame.)

Finished product:






yay


man, I am so accomplished.

As promised.


The guy went away after saying "Good luck", ok?

It's only funny if you've heard of the original riddle.



aaaaaaaaaand....

Oh my, it's already October. I need to get at least 1 comic up this month.

I'm just typing this so that even if I don't, I'll have at least one post ;P

I have more comic ideas, but I don't feel like drawing them atm. Anyway, enjoy. It's the small details that count :P



Yeah, it's not awkward till you make it awkward. (usually)


Awkward's such a weird word, isn't it? awwwwwwwwkkkkkkckckckwardddddduh.

I couldn't just leave September with just one post...

but also I've been putting off this comic for like a month or two cuz of the INTENSE ARTWORK involved. But I've finally gotten around to it.



I swear to God that last panel's mouth took like 10 freaking minutes.

And now off to NBC where a 2 hour premiere of HEROES IS... premiere-ing! omffgggggg

I am proud to say I (digg) have discovered a new species of webcomic! or at least, just another one. Here it is, I hereby proclaim it Doghouse.

Doghouse

I really like the artwork, it's simplistic, yet it works so well.

Despite what the comic says, i might continue making the occasional hand-drawn comic (hand drawn text looks trashy) if i get good comments about it. i know you people don't leave any comments, so just something on Gchat is fine. also, i know i'm just a crazy ass natural artist, so no need to remind me about that.

but seriously though, just click the comments link down below and just leave a little something.

Well, it's a movie- NO it's an AWESOME MOVIE; it's the BEST AWESOME MOVIE that you never heard of. or that i doubt you heard of. well GO WATCH IT(download it with the legal consent of the FBI) cuz it's really goddamn cool. Robert Downey Jr.(Iron Man) stars it, it's a pretty funny fast talking, sarcastic-ish movie but it's not a comedy, so don't expect it. I could keep talking about it, but instead i'll cut myself short and tell you to go downlo-- watch the goddamn movie NOW.

at least for now, until physics (and by that i mean the class, not the universe) completely eradicates them. Anyway, here's like an equivalent of a loading screen - something small that tries to hold your attention until the main course arrives. I have comics planned, i swear!

too bad it's not a new species or something

We The Robots
Comics about the daily life of a desk-job robot and his family. I think the humor is kinda like Dilbert, but I've never read Dilbert, so I guess it's not like Dilbert. I deemed this webcomic funny after reading a bunch of the comics - it's not a one-line puncher or anything. I don't even know what that means, but I hope you do.


Also, hell begins in 4 days and some hours. Coincidentally, that's when school starts. Neat, huh?

to me, anyways. Here are a few on my daily list that I think are pretty funny. But then again my sense of humor's a little wack.

Cyanide and Happiness (how can you NOT know this webcomic)
AmazingSuperpowers
theWAREHOUSE
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

The Perry Bible Fellowship (Discontinued by author) Not your average webcomic, you have to be observant, and capable of thinking for a few seconds. Sometimes.

They're all my kind of humor.

Of course, you guys probably also know XKCD and Abstruse Goose, both of which are a bit nerdier in their humor.

Yeah. Enjoy. If you guys know more, let me know - with a goddamn COMMENT. I'm watchin you.

Yeah, a feeble shot at 3D.

It'd be great having an undo button, to undo all your mistakes and regrets and shit. It'd be like a time machine, except you can't kill Hitler. You might be able to undo him, though.

No jokes about un-doing and re-doing each others' moms, ok?

Yeah, you've been in that situation. Two (Asian) families going out for a quiet dinner, chit chatting, making small talk, using chopsticks, enjoying the food, until... the BILL COMES. Then it all goes down - a massive scene involving tug-of-war, shouting, waving around credit cards, and somewhere in the chaos, is the bill. A fight breaks out, and in the end, a winner is declared, and the victor is awarded the prize of... paying the bill. Fuck yeah, he earned it. Don't worry, we can have a rematch next time we eat dinner together.

Now go clean yourself up, you're bleeding on the carpet.

I don't feel like talking i mean typing. Click if you must and enjoi.

Bonus:

Uh, yeah I don't usually write about movies, I guess I've never done it before, but I think that for some obscure reason Watchmen is worth writing a short paragraph about.

Anyway, Watchmen was fuckin awesome - very dark, excessively violent, and a bit of superhero stuff thrown in. That blue guy, uh, Dr. Manhattan was a bore, the Comedian was an asshole, Rorschach was freakin badass, definitely my favorite character - satirical, screwed over in the head, and of course obscenely violent. And his mask was pretty cool, too. Fight scenes were cool, especially with Rorschach - beating the shit out of a SWAT team or something, and the subsequent jail scenes.


Well anyway, my mind just went blank and it's 2 AM i dont think i'm used to being conscious at this time, unless i'm doing something mindless like watching a boring movie or such and uh i'll finish/clean up this post when i get some sleep and my iq raises a bit (haha just kidding rite -__-)

oh i'll have comics up tmrw if i can remember i finished em at like 10 pm but theyll still suck dont worry so i have to sleep now

Additional reading



Yup, one of those wtfComics. You probably can't read the comic w/o clicking it, but that's up to you. I also slightly apologize for the mysterious drop in image quality. I exported it at 100% quality, but I guess uploading it to Blogger lowered the image quality a bit.

And leave some goddamn comments. If you're reading this, just click the "comments" link below and type up some bullshit... pretty please?

Whoo it's my second day in Taiwan! I brought this really old ultraportable, and it's running at 500 mhz Pentium III, with half a gig of ram LOL. But hey, it still runs Flash, so I drew up this comic. Click and enjoy!

Also, I'm stealing some poor bloke's internet atm, and possibly for the rest of the month. But he has no wireless security, not even a router password! But his DNS settings were a little messed up, so I knocked politely, went into his router, changed a few settings, and voila! here I am. I don't consider it hacking, I condsider it free tech support, eh :]

p.s. taiwan's not as hot as my family rumored it to be. Oh, and it's not 8:20 am, it's 11:20 pm lol. good night, silly americans.

Now with 90% more color!

I'm also trying to create recurring characters, so that madman in the last frame is indeed the "growing guy" from the last comic.

You might have to enlarge the comic this time. Oh, one more thing. If you guys could give some suggestions on what color the background should be, that'd be helpful.

What's this?! A comic that's trying to be funny? Preposterous!

Anyway, enjoy guys, and be thankful you're not a stick figure. Click to enlarge as always. Oh and another thing. If you're reading my comics, I'd appreciate comments so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself. I do that enough already.

This happened to me once a long time ago lol. The comic is exaggerated, but you get the point. And yes, those are sound effects.

Enjoy, and as always, click to enlarge it if you're blind or something.

So at the end of last summer I started making a few comics but then I stopped a few weeks into school. I have no idea where they are, but they sucked anyway. But now it's summer again, so I'll post up comics if I can think of stuff and remember the idea long enough to draw it.

In Flash. Hehe. I love Flash.

Anyway, here's the first one. Click on it to enlarge.

Is coming up. But I don't really know what to get. I suppose I'll name off random things that come to mind. Not all of them are plausible but whatever.

-Dart3's
-Rock band drums
-Tiagra cranks (sorta/not really)
-Headphones?(idk)

Edit: I want a fork and headphones, but haven't decided on a specific one for each.

Oh, I want headphones that are around-ear or maybe on-ear, but with good bass that I can use for gaming and music. So basically non-audiophile headphones...

And I'm not sure about Dart3's anymore, apparently rating's aren't so good... damn. What do I do now?

Let's see, what's happened since last time I posted?

- Got a Sony HDTV (46" W-series)
- Got a 19" LG 16:10 monitor, (fo free!)

Yeah, TF2's still fun, haven't GModded for a while, and my steam rating is consistently < 6. :D
Hm... biking trip on the Thursday and Friday of spring break, but that was a while ago, haha. (~36 miles total :D)

Oh yeah, I took apart my Mesa's brake calipers today. My pads still have a lot of life in them, so I might just get (cooler) rotors. My rear brake squeaks less now, but my front brake was weird. When I first reassembled it (correctly, mind you), it was literally ineffective. I could feel the pads meet the rotors, but it was like the rotor or pads were made of ice. Strange. So anyway, I took it apart again and swapped the two pads. After reassembling, it worked, but at a price: now I have fork shudder... what the hell. So when I brake, it vibrates at low frequency. Annoying, but at least it doesn't screech.

Um....

Gentlemen, that is all.

Ok, so it's been a while since I switched out my shiny RAM, and so far I haven't gotten a BSOD, so I guess I'm fine now.

I probably just jinxed myself, huh.

*knocks on wood*

Ok, just now, like 10 minutes ago.


I got a BSOD playing TF2. I did some researching, and although not much info turned up, I decided to swap my shiny RAM for my old RAM. We'll see how it goes.

So far, I haven't experienced any BSOD's yet, and my fps in TF2 has gone UP WOOT! Before my NeoPower, with my regular RAM and textures set to High, I got a 10-15 fps on intense scenes with 35-40 fps regularly. Now, I put in my NeoPower and shiny RAM back, and turned the textures back up to Very High. My low fps is now 20-25 with regular fps of 45-50. So yeah, a $60 PSU covers me for any future upgrades, and gains me 10 fps. Not bad at all.

So I was screwin' around with TF2 weapons in GMod, and I decided to backstab the Gman with the spy's knife. The knife came down... and my computer froze for a bit like it was loading. But suddenly..

BSODOMFG

It was the kind of BSOD that I got from mem0ry error, like a flash then sudden reboot.

That was last week. I got one again on Sunday while playing TF2. So I swapped out the shiny RAM for my old RAM, and I haven't had any BSOD's yet, but my FPS seems to have dropped. I don't really know what caused it to drop, but whatever.

So on Monday, Jasper and I went to Fry's and I bought an Antec 500W Neopower. I haven't installed it yet cuz my backpack is still at Jasper's house (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday until I pick it up). So I hope this PSU solves my problems, but I guess we'll see.

My forecast says I have imminent money raining in soon, so I made a list of stuff I might buy.
Edit: now in order of importance. *'d items are probably not going to be bought.

- Tora 302's
- Power supply OR Core2Duo (very unlikely that I'm buying both)
- Chain and grips for Mesa...

This is the "maybe" list.
- Tiagra STI and/or Tiagra cranks
- Seat for Merg
- *Stem and spacers for Merg
- *Wheelset

Hm...

Finally, after such a long time of rain and red-bike-ing, I rode my Merg today, and damn, it's really smooth. The drivetrain is silent, and the shifting is really nice, even if it's Sora :P I rode a little less than 10 miles, but it still felt pretty good. I kinda want a new seat for my Merg, but my current goal is this beautiful Dart 3.



Delicious.

Regarding my previous two posts, I now have 4 gb of ram, and a sound card. Thus fixing both problems. Yay! But Alarian still kinda lags, but it's playable now, at least. And I got a Creative Audigy 2... FO FREE

Cuz the video/sound is l-l-l-l-l-lagging kinda badly. And it's not my internet connection, because F-f-f-f-f-frets on Fire lags too. I'm not sure if a sound card will h-h-h-h-help, but I don't wanna spend $25 to find out. It might be my video or audio driver. If it's my audio dr-r-r-r-river, then I need a sound card, cuz Realtek s-s-s-s-sucks. Also, Nvidia decided it would be f-f-f-funny to release a single driver for the e-e-e-e-entire 9000 series. WTF

I didn't get my RAM yesterday, cuz... actually I don't really know. I played Crysis Warhead though :D So yeah, I'll probably get the RAM today. I think.

So now that I have all my hardware, so I started installing Windows. As I was installing, suddenly... A WILD BSOD APPEARS! So then I'm like wtf, so I ignore it and reboot the computer. I finish XP installation without any further snags. I think I'm in the clear, but then as I'm installing Firefox, running a dual layer DVD, and opening Windows Explorer, ANOTHER BSOD! But this time, it flashes and suddenly reboots.

So that was last night. After school today, I decided I would ignore the previous BSOD's and just go on normally until I got another one. If I got another BSOD, then I would take some form of action.

So then I started using my computer, doing whatever, then suddenly... ATHIRD BSOD. This time I'm like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu so then I take action.

First, I reformat my 10GB Windows partition and reinstall. It BSOD's (the one like the first time). So then I remove my 9500GT and try again. Same BSOD. Then I remove all my RAM except one, and put that one in slot A1 (which was empty before). This solved the problem (finally, after 2 hours). I was able to install XP without any further incident. Oh, and during that time, I swapped out my DVD drive for a dual-layer burner. Hehe. So now I await my last 512mb stick of RAM. But it'll be temporary, because I'm getting 2 sticks of 2GB RAM on Saturday from a friend. So this news is as of now. If I encounter any more problems, anyone within half a mile of my house will hear a loud



FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

My computer's almost done! All I need to complete it is a CPU fan+heatsink that I'll get tonight.

Anyway, here are the specs of my new computer:

3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 hyperthreaded
EVGA 9500GT 512mb ddr2
1.75 GB RAM (going to change that to 2)
320 7200RPM hard drive
Antec Earthwatt 380w
DVD drive (not a burner, might change it out to a dual layer burner, but not sure at the moment)

So yeah... I'll start playing tonight. Woooooot.

Ok, so I was introduced to this limited time deal thing with Woot. Everyday, they have a new deal with limited stock. If you like it, you buy it, otherwise you wait for tomorrow.

Recently, I found one that was for biking (turns out later, its mountain biking specific). It's called Chainlove, and it has a new mtb-related deal every ~30 minutes (some bigger price tag items last longer, like 40 mins.)

Even more recently, I discovered Bonktown. It's like Chainlove, but it appeals to my inner Roadie (yay!). So whenever I'm bored, I check those two sites. And unlike Woot, I don't have to wait an entire day for a new surprise.

Also, some of those deals are pretty good. Well, maybe not woot so much, but the cycling ones. Especially bonktown. But maybe that's just my bias :P

So I got $140 yesterday, and I've decided I want to spend it on computer parts. I was undecided between a nice AGP card + some ram or a motherboard + processor + ram + GPU. The older technology actually costs more (wtf) and so it's not really worth it. Like 2gb of DDR ram is like $50 while 2gb of DDR2 ram is like less than $20. My GPU will be something along the lines of a 9500/8600. More updates later (when I actually purchase something).

Ok, just got finished paying off a $66 debt to Jasper today. And now with Chinese New Year coming up, I need to figure out what to spend my newfound money on. Two options:

1. Computers
I need a graphics card. I could get a ~$70 AGP crapish card or a ~$130 motherboard + processor + PCI-e graphics card. However, my current ram may not be compatible with the new motherboard, so that will run me up more money.

2. Bike
These Sora shifters suck. Upgrading that and getting it installed (unless it comes with cables, cuz then I can do it myself) will run me... I don't know, maybe ~$130 including installation? The reason I put this second is that I can still shift with these Sora shifters, but I can't run crap on anything in my house right now.

I think my list of priority is:
1. $130 computer combo
2. STI
3. Tiagra cranks (surprise!)
4. AGP card.

I had to think about that list for a couple minutes. :P
