Happy Halloweenie!

Happy Halloweenie!

I’m keeping it very short, in light of our recent hospital adventures. We’re back home now, and the doctor says Sonia’s going to be fine. I’ll write more but I’m pretty wiped out.

Switching gears, here’s Voices in My Hand cartoonist Bill Charbonneau’s spooky take on a very familiar looking pumpkin. Excellent work as usual, Bill!

Comic will be late…

Posted In: News, Site News

We’re in the emergency room of the hospital as I write this. Sonia had a severe viral infection that started two days ago and as a result, she couldn’t keep any of her food (or fluids) down. She’s on IV right now, and Aarti and I are by her bedside.

It’s going to be a long night in the hospital.

Thanks for your understanding.

The score so far

Why? or Why not? Me? I’m very protective of the casing – I like the clean look (but every now and then I wish I could grunge it up a bit). So, what about you? Answer in the comments below (and show off your stickered computer, if you’ve got one!) :)

PCW habla espanol!

pcw_spanish_web

(Click to read in all Spanish-translated goodness.)

Hearing my call for translators a few blog posts back, reader Ernesto volunteered to tackle the Spanish translation for a PC Weenies cartoon. I’m curious to know if there is interest in having the PCW in other languages. Please give me some feedback. Would readers enjoy seeing a Spanish version of PCW?

Guest-Strip by Rasmus Pettersson

If you haven’t heard of Rasmus Pettersson then you are missing out on one talented cartoonist. Hailing from Sweden, Rasmus is the creative brainchild behind GlitchTown. If his name sounds eerily familiar, earlier this week, Rasmus translated one of my ‘toons to Swedish.

Now go read Glitchtown!

Nerdology – Halloween Edition

by villaintech on October 28, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Posted In: News

I imagine that most Villaintech readers are a little too old to be trick-or-treating. Still, the allure of dressing up for Halloween never truly goes away, and there are still parties and office shenanigans to be had, right? I searched the Interwebz for some of the nerdiest costumes ever, and boy have I succeeded… ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

100 for Cindy Update

by Krishna on October 28, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Posted In: News

A while back I blogged about the 100 for Cindy fund raising effort. Cindy Randi, a mutual friend of ours, has survived 3 bouts of cancer and now struggles to pay back her medical bills.

My good buddy Dan Hernandez took it upon himself to start a fund-raiser to help her out. He ran the Boulder 100, finishing a 100 mile run in 24 hours and 7 minutes. Dan’s journal recounts his efforts in great detail – it’s definitely a must-read.

Dan is one of the most noble people I’ve had the honor to meet. His word is his bond, and he is one of the most selfless people I know – always willing to go the extra mile to help other people out (and in this case, quite literally 100 miles). Dan’s a great friend, and I mean that in the truest sense.

PC Weenies readers, through their support of the site, also helped Cindy out. All funds collected from Project Wonderful ads, guest-star appearances, print sales, etc. from mid September to mid-October went towards helping Cindy out. This brought in an additional $200 to go towards Cindy’s medical bills.

A total of $4000 was raised for Cindy. My sincere thanks to the readers who contributed to help Cindy out. You guys rock!

Guest-Strip by Steve Napierski

Guest-Strip by Steve Napierski

Today’s guest-strip was submitted by Steve Napierski, the talented cartoonist behind Dueling Analogs and The Outer Circle.

Steve’s off-beat sense of humor makes for fine comics, and I chuckled at the innuendo he suggests within today’s PCW. Take a look at Steve’s work – and drop him a line with your thoughts on his comics.
While browsing his work, you may even find a few guest-strips that I drew for him, tucked away in his archives.

Thanks a bunch, Steve!

P.S. On a completely unrelated note, check out this week’s UNcubed. =)

Beauty and the Geek Casting Call

by Krishna on October 27, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Posted In: News, Plugs

Passing the word on a potential opportunity for a 21 – 28 year old geek that’s interested in being on a reality show. I spoke with Jodi, the casting director of the show this afternoon and thought this might be interesting for those of you wanting fame, fortune, or the opportunity to hang out with some superficial, but hot models (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Jodi told me that they need to find people within the next two weeks, so if you’re interested, contact her as soon as possible. Being in the LA area is a major plus, but I think they’ll fly you over from other parts of the country if you’re geeky enough.
