A look to Vacation/self-promo

I have two days left of work, today and tomorrow, and then I'm off to a family vacation for a week. This will be my first extended vacation in over 4 years. It will be wonderful.

This is my 94th post according to blogger.com. If I keep this up, I might lose my lazy title. I'm not at all comfortable with that. I'd love to do something cool/special for my 100th post, but the truth is, I wouldn't be surprised if I log in one night trashed just to bitch about what someone said at the bar. and then my 100 will be nothing but business as usual. Eh, it's a living.

Heard back from Mr. Gillen who I interviewed for Broken Frontier. He will be using my email for the first issues' letter column. I demand that you all go buy Phonogram from Image when it comes out on August 2nd. Don't worry, I'll probably buy several copies for those of you who can't find them, let me know...

I have another interview up... linking now: http://www.brokenfrontier.com/lowdown/details.php?id=438

It's an interview with the head honcho at Top Cow Comics. I actually wrote an article discussing the comics-on-demand scheme that they are working on. That article was what I submitted as a sample to the owner of Broken Frontier to get my gig.

The owner is from Belgium, and he wants me to come to visit. Which I'm contemplating. I figure if I do it, I might be able to hop a train and head over to France. I'm really thinking hard about it... most likely try to do it next year. the biggest drawback is that I wanted to go to Ireland next year - something my dad and I have wanted to do for years now - and I don't see having enough time to do Belgium, Ireland, and France. Plus, I'm sure if my family that still lives in Germany were to find out I was in Europe they'd be offended if I didn't pop in.

And now, a tip... if you use Firefox, and listen to music, you owe it to yourself to download FoxyTunes (www.foxytunes.com). It allows you to control your player right from the browser, so now you don't have to stop viewing porn, er surfing the web, to change songs. And it's a freebie. which is a plus.

I'm not sure how many of you check out www.lifehacker.com, but you should start reading it. I have an RSS feed on my homepagfe so I can see the tips all day long. This may be my favoritest site (not written by me). Not about videogames, music, porn, or comics it seems like an odd choice for favorite. But the knowledge I have acquired from this ste ovber a week is immense.
