For you science geeks out there, here’s an article on using games to solve real-world problems which links to a protein-folding game.

I’m pretty sure that this one’s an April Fool’s joke, but damn, it’d be awesome.

I’m laughing like hell about the fact that I managed to get a copy of Puzzle Quest (and get addicted) before Tycho. I rock!*

*for increasingly small values of rock.

Someone asked me the other day what I do when I say I didn’t do anything a given weekend or evening. Well, there’s…

• writing or drawing the comic
• working on the Online Comics Day 2007 site
• working on this site
• reading comics
• reading books about drawing comics
• knitting
• playing Final Fantasy 12
• cursing at the laptop because it froze up
• taking walks with my husband
• date night
• playing Final Fantasy 3
• reading my email
• hanging out on the forum
• playing with the pudge dog
• playing Solitare Til Dawn
• watching Nighthawk play Oblivion
• baseball!
• and I’m sure a bunch of other stuff I’ve forgotten.

So my apologies that I haven’t been around much… some of this stuff will be dropping off the list as I either finish it or lose interest again. The comic and the blog aren’t going away, just sometimes I get quiet.

I love this Human Katamari insurance ad.

I’d forgotten that I was off until around Tuesday I think, so this is almost like a bonus vacation day. But considering I worked late the back half of the week anyway, I think it’s good I’m off because I feel like crap from being so exhausted.

Anyway, JessieDog and I are sofa-surfin’. It’s cold and grey out (very September) and I’ve got lots of chore-like things I should get done before Nighthawk gets out of work in a few hours. I’m also thinking of working on the comic and/or the website (actually the site’s got more of my attention because I have comics for tomorrow and and Tuesday in the queue already — leftovers from vacation) and I haven’t played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance in like a week and I want to get back to it.

So I’ve got a 4 day vacation going with the first one all to myself and it’s pretty cool. I’ll be checking the forum most of the weekend if you feel like stopping by.
