Sausage check

Sausage check published on 2 Comments on Sausage check

Please ensure you always check your meat to make sure you get the full use out of it.

In case you are not aware of the practice, the comic above refers to the fad of using  a Meat Stylus on iPhone & iPad screens.
As these devices have a display that needs conductivity to work, using something like a pen,etc,will not let you use the interface.

Many savvy users quickly figured out that they could use sausages on their touch screens as a stylus,and have it work successfully.
The sausage conducts the bio-electric current and allows the screen to be used without actually touching it with your fingers.

The trend appears to have begun in South Korea when users wanted a solution to using their phones in the winter.
Apparently snack sausages were found to be electrostatically compatible with the iPhone’s capacitive touchscreen, leading many to use them as a “meat stylus” in the cold weather, rather than remove a glove.
And it’s not just a joke – apparently South Korean snack sausage sales soared.

One of the side benefits of this is that the users get to keep their screens fingerprint free, as well as having a tasty snack to use after a hard session of “Angry birds” or “Cut the Rope“.

Those bad words

Those bad words published on 2 Comments on Those bad words

This comic is my attempt to help out mankind.
I feel it is time to finally reveal the truth about how all those bad, unwanted and NSFW words end up in our browser cache.

The answer is simple – CATS!

The popularity of LOLcats and cats on the internet in general, has gotten us fooled into believing they are cute, cuddly and a little bit stupid. But that is just what they want you to think.

In fact, I believe that cats are the source of many of the problems in our world.
It makes perfect sense – especially when you consider that  “CATastrophe” is the word used for bad things that happen and it has the word “CAT” in it.
Co-incidence? I think not. More like a warning that we are ignoring.

I must stop writing now. My cat is watching me…………………………………..

Official Product Launch

Official Product Launch published on 1 Comment on Official Product Launch

2010 seems to have had far more product launches than I ever remember seeing before.
Certainly more than 2009, at least. And I am guessing that 2011 will bring even more.

The internet, online tools, open-source software and easily sourced business incubators, has meant that it can be very easy to get a new business idea launched. Often, this can all be done with very little start-up capital expenses.

Some of these businesses become very popular and profitable. Many more of these do not.
Let’s focus on these for now. They are much more fun to know about!

SoundWave – Guest comic

SoundWave – Guest comic published on 1 Comment on SoundWave – Guest comic

This week, I was sent my first ever guest comic. The artist even wrote the blog post for me! So all I need to do is copy and paste everything into my site. How awesome is that?
Now, if I can just get this to happen every week, I will have more time for surfing for porn drawing.

Andrew creates a strip that I really enjoy. I like the story lines he comes up with (and the moustaches), and I can really relate to the local flavour of the site as I have been to Townsville many times.
(little known fact – I was born in Rockhampton, Australia, which makes me a Central Queensland boy just like Andrew.)

Anyway, enough from me. Here is what Andrew wrote to go with this comic:

—————————————————————————————————————–

Oh my god, what’s this?
This isn’t the work of the incredible Agent-X… who could this be?
It’s me! Andrew Sorohan, the writer and author of “A Townsville Fairytale“.
I also draw and illustrate that (illustrious) cartoon. Why don’t you check it out?

So what is this?
This is me being a little bit bored. I wanted something different to draw than my usual moustachio’d dudes, and at the same time I was going through Agent-X’s page to catch up on his strip (turned out that involved reading the latest strip, since I was more caught up than I thought).
So, after a quick Twitter exchange (and shame on you if you’re not following both Agent-X and myself, @TownsvilleTale on Twitter) I threw together this little ditty.

What does it all mean?
Well, anyone who knows me knows that I’m a massive Transformers dork. And anyone who knows Transformers knows that in the 80’s Soundwave was the single coolest Transformer out there. Unfortunately literally everything that made him awesome is now insanely dated.
Everything.
He changes into a cassette player, he has a host of cassette-tape minions. Even the fact that his weapons turn into his tape player mode’s batteries is dated because people don’t use Duracells in their portable equipment nearly as much any more.
Even Soundwave’s awesome voice is dated — with the heavy synthetic recoding sounding very very 80’s nowadays.

Repeated attempts have been made to update the poor guy over the years, but Soundwave has just never really recaptured his spot at the top since then. In fact he recently lost out to a Beast Wars character for his place Hasbro’s official Transformers Hall of Fame. Ouch.

Oh, and just so you know, the guy in the foreground is the 2010 toy release Terradive, an incredibly awesome new jet Transformer.

–Andrew S.

(Plus I included an iPod so that it’d be more like an Agent X strip, what with his being up on modern technology jargonyness…
Man, sometimes I feel like I’m just like Soundwave.)
