Yesterday Steph and I took a ride down to Whelford on our new bikes, and we rode along a little public footpath/road down there. We also brought our cameras and took some photos of the area. I’ll post a few below, but you’ll have to go my near home set on my flickr page to see all of them.
We’re still working on the HandRooster comic everyday, and we’re looking to promote it a bit better. If you know anyone that would like our comic, please let them know about us. We’d really like to have more readers. As of right now, we don’t really know who reads it or how many people. We can go on general web stats, but that includes a lot of bots for web searches, etc. Also, feel free to leave comments and let us know what you think about it.
Anyway, the photos from the bike ride are below. Let me know what you think. Have nice day!
Ahh. The weather has been so nice lately, although it is going to start getting a bit too hot for me if it keeps up this way. I hope it will be nice in Cornwall next week. Not much going on here. We’ve still been doing comics on HandRooster and I think Steph is starting to get very good at drawing them. Thay make me laugh, and I write them…so she must be executing them well.
I’m reading a Noam Chomsky book…I’ll probably write more about it when I finish it, but I’ve only just started. It is the first Chomsky book I’ve read, but I’ve also read some of his articles online and I’m a big fan of his general awesomeness. He is a very intelligent and inspiring human being.
Anyway, I’m still looking forward to next week. We’re going to bring our bikes and I think it will be good to get away and concentrate on doing nice things. I also like the food down there. I want a Cornish Pasty right now!
Well it is quite late so I’ll be off to bed now. Have a good one!
Ah, another entirely too short weekend is almost over. I hope everyone who chooses to celebrate Easter had a pleasant one. The weekend seemed so short, and we accomplished very little other than playing games and eating food. You may have noticed that we haven’t done comics this weekend. I don’t know for sure whether that will always be the case, but Steph didn’t have her regular illustration setup, so that was one barrier.
We’re going on vacation to Cornwall during the next upcoming week, so we’re not sure if we’ll have a comic for those days. Maybe we could make some ahead of time and post double this week. We’ll see what happens. I don’t know if I want to make Steph do that much drawing. I know I want to get some woodcarving and some reading done in the evenings while we’re there. I’m so excited to go…I love Cornwall and I’ll be so glad to be away from work.
Other than that, there isn’t much to say. I’m off to bed soon and I hope everyone has a nice day/night.
I don’t have much to say at the moment because I’m pretty tired and I’m off to bed soon. Today my friend Ryan changed his mind and now he isn’t leaving for another year. I hope he’s doing the right thing for his future. I’m sure things will work out for him in the end. Steph and I have been trying to do new comics everyday, so if you haven’t been checking HandRooster for updates, you should go check out the comics. Just hit the “previous” link at the bottom for older ones. Steph also does her own comic/silly drawing thing in the Doodles section of her website. In other news, we had a very pretty sunset tonight, so I just took a couple of quick pictures. The one has a crooked horizon, but you get the idea. That’s it for now!
As I sit here typing this, I ponder the possibilities for plunder of warm beverages downstairs. I only have a meager excuse for a drink as a desktop companion. His (I like to assign gender to inanimate objects) name is Cranberry Pomegranate Juice, and his tangy-dry sourness irritates the very soul of the tongue as exposure reaches its apex. In short, I am done with him and his coldish tart taunting. I yearn for beverages with a sweet and soothing nature. I know one in particular (her name is Hot Chocolate) who would do nicely on this occasion.
I’ve been brewing up some more comic ideas for HandRooster which Steph will no doubt bring to life in due time. She drew one today which people seemed to like and she’s working on another at this very moment. I think I’m done writing for the night, though.
I’ve been taking a look at some channels on Joost and I can’t say I’m incredibly blown away. The idea is good, and I like the widgets they have built into the program. I like the idea of chatting while watching TV. I like the idea of inviting people to view the same show and hosting a sort of TV hoedown. I like all of these things, but I don’t see a vast channel forest full to the brim with content creatures of all shapes and sizes. Instead, I see a few dwarfed trees crippled by a lack of program soil and a distinct lack of any content wildlife. OK, I went a bit far with the forest scenario. What I’m saying is that the channels seem to be few and not all that interesting, and severely lacking in any decent content. All I can hope for is that this will all improve as the product grows. I’m certainly not writing it off.
I hope everyone enjoyed my wooden cat. I’ve put it in the Projects section just in case anyone wants to take a look again later and can’t find the post. I’m done for now. I wish you all a fantastic day/night.
