foursquare

This comic from PVP online pretty much sum up my addiction to Foursquare, the location based game for your cellphone. I will go anywhere now... just for the sake of checking in and earning more badges. Nat says Foursquare is used by people to track and kill you. We'll see. Right now I'm the mayor of seven different places... and I plan on keeping it that way.

desert bears!

Watch out!

shout out

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Mormon crazies that threatened to disrupt and incite violence at a Fireside because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was invited to speak about his conversion story. Guess he wasn't Republican enough. I don't know what to say.

I was going to write a long essay about what's wrong with the conservative/mormon universe and this situation, but I'm not going to. If you want to know what I really think about all of this, you can email/tweet me.

On another note: The iPad cometh. Art thou tempted? Anyone buying one?

Let's wait until ver. 2.0.




And I need a root canal. ugh.. I've been putting it off too long.

less talk more rock

Sword & Sorcery EP: A video game project by the awesome pixel artist Superbrothers is coming soon!

Read his ideas on video games: http://boingboing.net/features/morerock.html

I just have to say that I am excited to see something like this: a true attempt at video game storytelling without all the stats, clutter, and talk to mess it up. Can't wait!

More Angry Peasants today. Still working on some new music. I'll send some stuff out later this month probably. It is a slow process.

Some things I'm interested in right now:

Pepperbox Revolvers from the 1850's.
Leatherworking- Specifically gun holsters from the Civil War period up till 1900.
Bookbinding. I really wish I had more experience in that department.
Progressive Rock from the 1960's and 70's. YES.
Genealogy: Mid 1800's immigration and Queens, New York City.

you're a ... cartoonist?

Took me awhile, but I finally scanned in a new Angry Peasants.

long weekend?

Working on that RPM Challenge. I forgot how much work was involved in song writing (which is probably why I've put it off for the better part of 5 years). I've been working on songs that are new, songs that are kinda old (2 or 3 years), and one that is probably from 2005. I decided that I need to just clear them all out. So I've been finishing lyrics, and figuring out chords for most of them. I know I was supposed to start with brand new material for this thing, but I figured since I was going to have to redo everything anyway that it would count for the challenge.

I have a feeling I'm not going to get this done in time. Well... I hope so. I have to get it mailed off on the first. With all the work that has to be done, it looks like this will be a recording marathon on Saturday or Sunday. Long weekend.

When I get everything recorded, I will post songs here and on my RPM profile for listening enjoyment.

New Angry Peasants beginning in March! It will probably be a once a week thing for now. Wednesdays?

so

Working on stuff.


February seems to be a busy month. I'm trying to tie off some loose ends and revamp some of the other projects I've been working on forever. I've elected to participate in the RPM Challenge. Which is cool because I've been working on some new music ideas for a couple of months now. Everything is hooked up and ready to go, I just need to finish it on time. Since there's a real deadline involved here I probably have a good chance. I like the idea behind this, which is similar to the Album-A-Day project (a very challenging idea in itself). Working with what I have already... I've got one song in the works and ideas for 3 or 4 more. Working between two computers, I should have this in the bag.

I'd like to give a shoutout to Mark for allowing my music to be part of his awesome short film Lincoln. Look for it as part of the x96 film festival and throughout the internets. I give Mark credit for pretending to like all the short 30 second clips I've given him (I should put out a whol album of 20-30 second clips of music). Can't wait to see new episodes of Nottblock in the future.


I've finished drawing new Angry Peasants. I just need to ink, scan, and color them. I haven't been able to do that because my resources are being focused on music projects. I've come to terms with how hard it is to be a syndicated cartoonist. It seems like a relentless struggle to keep up with the pace. Even posting cartoons three times a week seems like a hard goal to reach. Once I get these last few drawings finished, I'll start posting them. Not sure how frequent it will be though. I have like 30 ideas backlogged, and it's just a matter of time and execution.

I been asked to run sound for the Lehi Arts Council production of Singin' in the Rain. I haven't heard anything from them in a few weeks, so I'll assume that once serious rehearsals start in March that I'll jump on board.

I'm tired all of a sudden.
