Hey look. The website is 96% up and running! Yay for me, (and the half dozen unnamed friends who figured out all the hard stuff for me)!
I guess our Christmas vacation is truly over now. We drove back to Staten Island Friday night, and drove back yesterday. That’s a shit-ton of driving to cram into three days. The innards of our little Scion smells like a mix of sweat and french fries and is littered with empty water bottles, coffee cups, straw wrappers, and six kinds of candy packaging. I’m pretty sure there’s part of a pastrami sandwich from Rein’s Deli rotting under the backseat somewhere. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, I’m back in the laundry room/studio for a few days before heading back to Staten Island to retrieve the Widget. I asked Gran if the kid could stay for a few days so I could get some work done, since school has been closed for weeks now due to the ice storm that ripped New Hampshire a new one.
While visiting my mother for a few days I was once again exposed to her guilty pleasure -HGTV. It could certainly be much worse. My mother could be trolling the singles bars of New York, or base lining heroine in her spare time, and in light of these and other options available to her, a few hours of bad cable television each night is probably not a bad thing. And it’s not like my viewing habits are any better when I’m given access to a television. Dorinda and I sat through a marathon of VH1’s “I Love The 70’s” without getting up to eat or use the bathroom on Saturday. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, I seem to have survived the second annual Wegener Lamb & Ham Extravaganza, though my little brother appears to have developed the meat-sweats. I hope he’ll be okay. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may have heard, we had a bit of an ice storm this weekend. I often complain about the winters in New Hampshire, but after 27 hours without heat, hot water, or electricity, and freezing temperatures outside (and eventually inside as well), I’ve discovered a whole new level of hate for New England in the wintertime.

For the first time in a while, I’ve actually got something to tell you about. Isn’t that exciting?!?
First of all, you can now read Atomic Robo on your iPhone. Last year’s Free Comic Book Day story comes free with the app, and you can expect to see our first volume in ‘09.
Please note that the iPhone is a ridiculous piece of wholly unnecessary technology that is wildly overpriced and vastly overhyped . . .until the moment I get one. Then it will become really, incredibly cool.
Just FYI on that. Read the rest of this entry »

Sculptor Andrew Wiernicki passed away last week. You may not recognize the name, but many people will be familiar with his work. I only knew Andrew for a short time. We sat next to each other at the first Boston Comic Con I ever attended. Read the rest of this entry »

Just a bunch of random stuff this week. I’m kind of tired, and I really need to get rolling on Robo Vol.3. Vol.2 Dogs of War #4 is out this week -don’t forget to grab your copy. If your local shop is lame and doesn’t carry Atomic Robo, or you are lame, and aren’t there twenty minutes before the shop opens, fogging up the windows with your heavy breathing on new comic day, you can always find Robo online. We always recommend Heavy Ink. Read the rest of this entry »

Man, what a week, huh?! I’m still trying to absorb it all. I was listening to President Elect Obama’s first official news briefing on Thursday, and all I could think was that here is what a national leader was supposed to sound like. Strong, elegant, and intelligent. Bush just sounds like a moron every time he opens his mouth -it’s embarrassing. Embarrassing to the point where anytime he speaks for more than three minutes I have to turn the radio off. Read the rest of this entry »

At first I didn’t think I’d like Fable II. Fantasy Role Playing is just something I was never able to really get into, (despite my fascination with D&D). Sci-Fi has always been were it’s at for the geek in me. And so, I was totally unprepared to be sucked into the sprawling “Choose Your Own Adventure” world of Fable.
