Removed IDE drive from failed @LaCie network enclosure, put it in another enclosure. It’s partitioned into 6 MBR partitions…wtf?!
Thanks to the twitter presence of @wilw, @levarburton and @brentspiner, I keep reading @hootsuite as “@holosuite” (which was a DS9 thing)
Seriously considering attending http://www.webcomicsweekend.com/
Had planned to draw for several hours today; instead, spending hours fruitlessly trying to get my daughter caught up on her homework. GAH!
Much better now. Came home from work to a loud, chaotic house that was in desperate need of attention I wasn’t ready to give. All fixed now.
About to go out of my f*ing skull.
Awakened (awoken?) by a throbbing headache. Meds just now kicking in — gonna snag a bit more sleep before the alarm hits.
Getting ready to start staff meeting (yay, retail!)

Still pumped after a great cartoonist meetup. Thanks to all for coming!
http://tr.im/gEuS -> CLARIFICATION: Mom’s car broke down, and Angela had to go out and pick her up. I stayed w/the kids until she got back.
Running late for Comic Artists and Writers meetup. Mom’s car broke down. (Sorry guys!)

Hey, here’s an idea…
Fine. You get the money. But with one condition:
You replace every single one of your useless, overpaid executives and clueless directors with people who can get to the core competencies of your business and put an end to the culture of wasteful R&D spending and inefficient vehicle design.
Exhibit A. Exhibit B.

Working on prep. materials for http://cartoonists.meetup.com/79/calendar/9641042/ ;^) Send any links/resources you’d like to share!
Just discovered Wii Sports. Holy Jeebus — that’s The most exercise I’ve had in months! (yes — sad, I know…).
About to dose myself into a NyQuil-induced stupor.
Wrangling the littlest one to bed. Hopefully I’ll get some drawing done…I think I made a significant breakthrough today…we’ll see. =^D
Thoughts on Love
(My friend Colleen shared her thoughts on Love, and that stirred me to write this.)
When I was younger, I was always uncomfortable with Valentine’s Day gifts from my family. That’s because I always associated Valentine’s Day with romantic love, and it just seemed weird to get a Valentine card from my Dad (or my Mom, or my sister, for that matter…but still not as weird as...

Microsoft + WalMart?
Yeah. This should end well.
Dammit. I accidentally poked Emily in the eye with my thumb. It was a pretty good jab, too…I hope it doesn’t give her a black eye. :(
It's no wonder...
…that our place pretty much stays a wreck.
Being home sick the past couple of days, I’ve had the chance to observe what Angela (my wife) has to endure every day with Emily (our daughter) just to get her homework done.
(A LITTLE BACKGROUND: Emily has ADHD, OCD, and most likely ODD.)
Emily actually stayed home today, partially for a couple of doctor’s appointments, and partially...

Just a nice, feel-good story for a Thursday morning.
Hoo-boy. NyQuil is kicking in. Nighty nite, Twitterverse!
Of course, it *would* be a gorgeous day on a day that I’m actually sick. :^/
Jailhouse interview with VB man who decapitated... →
It’s a 20+ minute video, and it’s extremely disturbing to watch.
I can’t help but think that the church has contributed to the poisoning of this very unstable mind.
I’m not condemning the church by any means, but there are groups out there that blame violent video games for the actions of some people, and clearly, this man took his cues from the Bible and his very twisted...
I work with some awesome folks
But unfortunately, I won’t be working with you today, since I’ve called in. Hopefully tomorrow…if not, then Sunday (I’m off Fri-Sat).
I really do appreciate your well-wishes, but it’s just a bit of bronchitis, though. It just sounds gross when I cough and I don’t want to spread it around.
I should probably stop tweeting my health, since it seems to come off as...
NyQuil kicking in. Must. Sleep. Now. G’nite all!

Did half day at work; went home at lunch and crashed for a while. Woke up feeling worse than when I went to sleep. Tomorrow? We’ll see. :^/
Scanning some pics for my cartoonist blog (long overdue). Links when they’re posted.
Woke up feeling sick; debated whether or not to go to work. Decided I’ll go and see if I feel any better — if not, I’m coming home.

Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn’t Fucking Work
Trying to draw a little at lunch… can’t seem to do it. :^(
Reminder to self: NOT 20 ANYMORE!!! Too old for this all-nighter nonsense. Did I say UGH!?
UGH! Some time during the past couple of hours, the Sandman came and thoroughly beat the everlovin’ crap outta me. I should’ve slept more.
OK, so I have to wake up in 3 hours. Now, to decide whether to try to get a bit of sleep, or just stay up ‘til then. :^/
Pulling out the ol’ Mac OS 9.1 restore discs! (Some of these iMacs can’t run 10.3 or later).
Made the mistake of looking at/playing with son’s ‘Bumblebee’ (Transformers) electronic sight/sounds toy. Now it won’t shut up. GAH!
