I haven’t posted anything under the “bad is good” heading for a while, so… here’s a reminder that a garbage camera can be used to take prizewinning photos. See also lomography, crapshoot.

Bring, Brang, Brung
I haven’t put up any strips for bring it in a while. Just one in all of February, and nothing this month so far. Early on I was on nearly a daily schedule. Right now, nothing. It’s weird, when I was doing it before, ideas would pop into my head all the time, say, when I was showering. Oh man, that’s it! I haven’t showered in a couple months! Dang!
No, seriously, I can’t think of a damn thing to do a comic about anymore. I guess I’m getting a little tired of the two main characters being a kind of Dilbert/Dogbert, Jon/Garfield clueless-straight-man and smartass duo. I might be able to come up with some more comedy along those lines, but I don’t like it very much.
Ah well. Thanks to people who’ve encouraged me on it. I do appreciate it. I just don’t know if it’s going to go anywhere from here.

One Take Wonders
At the suggestion of the inestimable Pferdzwackür, I have been doing a few more quick ukulele tracks. They’re online at One Take Wonders, for a few people I know would appreciate that (for some value of “appreciate”) who read my blog. :)
Practical Common Lisp, Cartoons, & Other Wannados
I own the book. I hope to get around to reading and digesting it sometime soon. I know a little Lisp, more Scheme than Common Lisp, and I’d like to know more.
I would also like to learn to do some more cartoon drawing stuff. I’ve been following Drawn, the Illustration Blog and loving all the variety of styles I see there. Watching today’s kids cartoons on cable, like Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Danny Phantom, and others, I’m amazed by how downright cool cartoony art can be. I’d like to explore that.
I’d also like to get around to recording and putting online some more ukulele tunes.
