This is me rambling about me, mostly. Current stuff: home, family, my head’s on fire… that kind of thing. This also includes everything imported from LiveJournal.
In case you missed the news, Radiohead (one of the biggest bands of the decade) has decided to release their new album in the same way I released the Strohl Munitions Coloring Book: you name your price, and you get the digital goods.
Okay, I’m not claiming to have invented this, nor am I claiming that Radiohead got the idea from me. People have been doing this for years, starting with a couple of shareware developers in 1984 who made millions of dollars at it.
The official Radiohead site is here. The album will be available in ten days, but you can pay now, naming your price. Personally, I would love to see Radiohead make hojillions of dollars at this, permanently validating that which I know to already be valid. Just because a warm fuzzy is redundant doesn’t mean it’s not warm and fuzzy.
In other news, what do you call a legion of the walking dead who are running out of corpses to feed on, and will drop into a ditch sometime in the next twenty years? RIAA.
Meme, coded by my brother. I love the way the quiz makes fun of me for picking certain things. No, these questions aren’t loaded, officer. Why do you ask?
Your home is a
Philanthropic Wizard’s Ranch
Your kitchen is manned by a team of Keebler Drow Elves. There’s a Chocolatessen, which is rapidly becoming your favorite room of the house. Having one is also becoming a trend among your wealthy neighbors. Your master bedroom is decorated to look like the treetop village of the Galadhrim. Your study has every fantasy novel ever written, including multiple editions of the Silmarillion and advance copies of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. One of your garages holds your collection of ferraris, and is measured in acreage.
Your home also includes a roost for griffons. You’ve never actually seen a griffon, but you keep the roost ready anyway. Your guests enjoy your home theater with hi-def plasma screen TV, and the thrones you watch it from. Outside is the moat that protects your home from goblin invaders and extended family.
As of right this minute we’ve pre-sold exactly 1000 copies of Schlock Mercenary: The Tub of Happiness. This is a print run of 5,000, so in just under 24 hours we’ve sold 20% of the books.
Don’t worry. We won’t run out. Buy all you want, we’ll print more.
Today marks my third anniversary of cartooning full-time. In September of 2004 I resigned my generously-salaried position at Novell to pursue a dream. With the help of thousands of readers around the world, I caught up with the dream, and have been living it now for three years.
