The Man With The Sidekick Tattoo

Way back in days of yore (2006), I was helping run a community website for users of the T-Mobile Sidekick and other hiptop devices. So when an image of a Sidekick back tattoo went viral, I knew I had to talk to the owner. Here's my original interview with Matt... Continue reading

In order to help hold myself accountable for experimenting with various digital drawing apps, I've started up Sketchy Weather - a Tumblr where I'll post quick sketches based on the weather.

Robot Finds Kitten: The Comic

When Zoe started kindergarten I started adding quick doodles to her lunchbox. It's now evolved into a tradition and while I still have my rushed mornings where I jot off something quickly ("it's a snake") I try to turn out something halfway decent these days.

We're still dipping down into the 30° range at night, but we've finally had a steady week of non-rainy days in the 60s. It's energizing to see things greening up and getting out and about. Continue reading
