I know people who spend more time on their social networks than they do with their kids.

I can already imagine the psychologists and therapists that are wringing their hands in delight at the thought of this.
Very soon, there will be people who need help to get over their abandondment issues caused directly by the lack of attention they are recieving right now.

But you need to face facts here – Being popular on a social network is a full time job. If you are serious about it, you gotta put in the hours.
The internet gods know this, which is why games exist. Then the kids can be kept occupied killing imaginary things, or doing challenges that they will never need to replicate, while the adults talk to people that are not actually there.

See how life just sort of works out evenly?

The Fun Circles

Google+ is here.
And it has circles. Circles for you to put groups of people into.

Despite all the other debate that G+ (that is what the cool kids like me call it) has spurned, I am here to help out with something that I feel is really truly important – naming the circles so they mean something to the user.

Sure, Google+ offers some default circle names to start you off, but you want these groups to really mean something to you. Right?
So get creative and make names that work for you. Use titles that will help you remember who is in the circle.

And above all, just enjoy it.

You wouldn’t download a bear…

Well, what if you could? I am pretty sure it would not end well. That bear would come out of your computer pretty cranky at having been squeezed through the tubes that the internet is made of.
I imagine the tubes to be pretty small, judging solely on how long it takes me to download nude photos of WWF wrestlers informational articles about cooking.

This comic was inspired by this poster, which of makes fun of the Anti-Piracy ads that appear on videos and DVDs before a rental movie starts. Oh, you have no idea what that ad is?  Then by all means, go and watch it.

Anyway, if I was going to download real things off the web, they would be:

  • Comic books (real ones)
  • Money
  • Pizza
  • A Unicorn.

In that order.

A tribute comic to Peter Falk.

This comic was something that came to me after hearing the news of the death of Peter Falk on June 23rd, 2011.
Peter was most famously known for his portrayal of Lt. Columbo on TV.

I used to love watching Columbo when I was younger and I believe that even though Peter ended up being very typecast after playing this role, he made it his own. It is a truly unique character and one that I believe will never be able to be done as well as the original.
(I feel the same way about Christopher Reeves portrayal of SuperMan)

There are very few actors today that could end up in a hit TV show that ran for so many years, especially if they had a glass eye.
(At the age of three, his right eye was surgically removed due to cancer.)

As well as an actor,Peter was also an artist. A man of many talents, who never let anything stop him.

It was terrible to think that Peter did not even remember his time as Columbo, due to dementia in his later years.
And although I am saddened by the news of his passing, I will be happy that he taught me a very important life lesson when growing up – keep asking questions until you figure out the answer.

Oh, and just one more thing…..
