Normal America

That's right it's Wednesday which can only mean one thing. NEW COMIC BOOKS. Okay so maybe I get a little more excited then most people my age about something like this but, hey I likes me some good stories and artwork. The new Iron Man written by Warren Ellis is suppose to be coming out but, I'll believe it when I see it. A new issue of Kirkman's Walking Dead is also coming out today, so much goodness all around. I'll post more later tonight, maybe some images. Till then I think I might take a crack at trying to figure out how to install this image thumbnailer thing so I don't have to keep editing and resizing images in Paint (which after a point, let me tell you becomes ANNOYING). Well that's all for now, hasta surfers.

I am planning something. I wanted to be sure about the legalities surrounding it but, as long as I don't make money doing what I plan to do, I should be alright. I'll post more later.

Just got back from doing a podcast, man those things will wear you out but, it was fun. The actual audio from it probably won't be posted on their website till Monday but, check out the site either way, whenever you get a chance here's the address:

Well latest podcast is up, it's rather short this time though. I think all of us are still feeling the aftereffects of Chicago.

So, last night we did a podcast wherein we interviewed Peter David, how freaking cool is THAT. Most who read this blog probably went. Who is Peter David? The short & simple, he's a really good comic book writer (X-Factor, a couple of issues of Spider-Man: The Other, Fallen Angel, etc). The overall podcast seemed to go well, though as usual I was beat after it. Finally have gotten around to reading last week's stash of books, so far nothing really annoying...well 52 did tick me off to an extent but, I have already ranted about it on Aboutheroes.com forum. As soon as Friday comes around I'll be glad, short of another podcast Saturday morning, my weekend is gonna be free which means I don't have to do jack. Been trying to get one of the other .com's set up this week, hosting is working out the issues on the server I am on, it looks like they are getting things resolved pretty quickly, I'll probably know when I can start on the other .com sometime today or tomorrow. Really that's all, gotta clean up the apartment, maybe start reading more of this Web Design Garage book, which isn't that bad. The book seems to be going into the design/aesthetics of web sites more which, is what I want to really learn about. I can code webpages easily it's just making it look nice, organized, and purposeful, where I have problems. Well I guess I should get back to the grindstone. Later.

Had a nice time in Morehead, it was relaxing even though the drive was a tad tiring. Lately I have become a bit fired up about my public library and its ordering practices. What I am talking about, is the shortage of graphic novels at Paul Sawyer Library.The shortage of this medium isn't horrible but, by no means is it good either. Graphic novels aka Comic Books have more and more become a respected literary medium, and there have been many cases wherein ordering of graphic novels has caused an increase in library visitors/patrons. At the moment I am going through a couple of different websites on how to increase awareness of it and get an overall game plan set up. In all it seems like something trivial to get fired up about but, part of my property tax goes to the library and it doesn't make sense to have a library that doesn't actually get books/novels myself and many others would like.
