It started about a month ago. I was sitting at my desk at work and felt the vibration of my cell phone go off, only I was picking up the vibration in the left side of my chest instead of my hip. I didn’t think much of it - my phone usually sits in my blazer’s pocket and leans against the chair arm, so when it buzzes half the time I pick up the vibration through the chair on my feet or my arm or something and not through the phone itself.

But when I checked the phone, there was no call. Odd, but I let it go.

It happened again a few hours later, and a few hours after that. Definitely a vibration, but no calls on the phone. When I came home that night, I was leaning against the arm of the sofa when it happened, and the phone wasn’t even in the livingroom, so I knew something odd was going on. And it had chosen to go on in my left breast. This was not cool.

Okay, let’s face it. I’m just using the forum as one big bookmark holder today. Even so, you should check out Whispered Apologies, a webcomic where one person submits art and another person writes copy for that art. So far, slogging through the archive, I’d say that sometimes the comic’s dead-on funny and sometimes not so much. Sadly, the worse the art, I find, the harder it is for the writing to compensate. Still, veeeery eeeenteresting.

I keep seeing links and references to a blog called Scobleizer - Microsoft Geek Blogger, which is written by an employee of Microsoft, so I’m linking to it here to remind myself to go check it out. Who knows, you might enjoy it too.

OK/Cancel is a niche comic about User Interface Design, and it’s pretty darn cool. Check it out!

Beaver and Steve is getting a little weirder than usual. But I like it!
