Goin' Retro…

my Woz edition Apple IIGS

Here are a few of my favorite retro-computing sites I wanted to share with you:

Retro-Bits: a very listenable and enjoyable podcast on retro-computing by a guy named Earl – back from hiatus. Recommended for geeks and old-school computing aficionados alike.

BYTECellar: a cornucopia of vintage computing goodness can be found in Blake Patterson’s popular website. His recent article on the availability of an Apple IIGS ethernet card has piqued an interest to take my own IIGS out of the closet and get it on the ‘net.

65816dotcom: Another Apple IIGS enthusiast site that focuses on more of the technical side of working with the IIGS. Lots of geekery to be found here.

Do you have a favorite retro-computing site or podcast? Please let me know – I’m always looking out for high quality sites that discuss old computing platforms.

Unwritten Rules of the Game

Unwritten Rules of the Game

I.T. is all about customer service, when you boil it down to its bare essence. I wonder if some I.T. folks still remember that?

Art: Ganesha

Art: Ganesha

We made it back home to Tampa after a 11 day stay in Knoxville. Sonia did really well on the plane ride home. We spent the last several hours settling back in (mostly catching up on mail and bills and household stuff).

As a tribute to a smooth flight, I had a little time this evening to render one of the most popular Hindu gods in the pantheon – namely Lord Ganesha – the Remover of Obstacles.

Here he is – at least my take on him.

We had a great crew of cartoonists show up to participate in yesterday’s Sequential Artists’ Pub podcast. The topics at hand involved tools and techinques, site stat tools, recommended resources for cartoonists, and “Ah ha!” moments with mild-digressions here and there. In no particular order, the guests for our latest panel included:

Thanks again to all the participants! If you have a topic for an upcoming show, please let me know.

Back on the 'Buzz…

The PC Weenies have stayed out of the Buzzcomix limelight for a while now, but now that I’ve changed the thrust of the comic, I’m ready to unleash the ‘toon on the Buzzcomix Top List once again. At one point the PCW held the top spot, but due to negligence and lack of voting buttons for many months, the PCW have slid down to #755 on the Buzzcomix List.

I would certainly appreciate a vote, only if you feel so inclined, or even a quick review of the comic. The voting and review buttons (as shown below) can be found underneath each comic, for your convenience.

NOTE: You’ll have to sign up for a reader account (FREE) to review the comic. Thanks again for your support!

-Krishna

Update: I don’t have any ‘Vote Incentive’ sketches up at the moment, but I may start that up next week…

Whether you draw comics (or just like reading them), you’re invited to take part in the latest “Sequential Artists’ Pub” podcast, which takes place at 10PM EST tonight. I’m hoping for another GREAT turn-out for this bi-weekly show.

Two shows have already been recorded and are available for a listen. I would be very interested in hearing your feedback on the shows so far.

So, 10PM EST tonight on Talkshoe. Stop on by – and bring your favorite beverage – to the show.

Pulling the Trigger…

This concludes the latest storyline – but leaves the door open for other possibilities in the future. Don’t forget to check out Thursday’s bonus strip, featuring the PCW send-off for Bill Gates.

The Back Issue Bin: Sledge Hammer!

Sledge Hammer! comics

Originally uploaded by kms007


I was rummaging thru my long boxes today and came across two unusual issues in my collection: The first and second issues of Sledge Hammer!

Sledge Hammer! was a television series that lasted only two seasons. The titular character was something of a Dirty Harry to the nth power, who had a female partner who played ‘straight man’ to his antics.

I thought I’d post the scan up to prove to the world that, yes – there was a Sledge Hammer! comic. You can click on the image above to see the larger version, and I’ve posted the cover to Sledge Hammer! #2 on my flickr page as well.

Enjoy!
