The insightful gaze into Victims of the System.
Saturday, December 08, 2001
Well, strip number 100 is here. I'm pretty surprised, when I first thought about drawing an online comic, how could I know that I'd do it so regurally for eight months? Thanks a bunch to you, charming readers, for giving me SOME reason to do this, and thanks to anyone real who's featured in the comic for a) allowing me to use them and b) for not getting mad afterwards (exception: Kathryn). So stick around, VotS sure will.

Heh, a point and laugh goes out to Jason Neckopulos for trying to gain access to my systems today. Nice try dude.

Victims of the System strip # 100 should be available in the morning... for some reason, my congresswoman's mailer smells like perfume...

One question-
Would everyone think I'm a whore if I put up a PayPal donation box? While I would much prefer ppl using the CafePress store, I could always use just simple donations. Post on the forum and tell me what ya think
If you stopped by inbetween 4 and 10 pst today, you probably saw a different design for the VotS site. Well, I decided to test it out, but for some reason beyond me, the queue for updating was at 3000 people. Odd...

Man it is the BIGGEST bitch to hunt down every important site that you use your email address on and change that address
So I decided to retire Travelers, my intense failure of a medieval comic. Instead, I replaced it with Tina, a very odd comic. Strip number one is up now.
"Apparently the light bulb in here died, not that I ever use it, but there's always the risk of me having to use light against some nocturnal freak... like Jeff"
AH HA HA!! I HAVE RETURNED!!!

IT
Throw this one up on the list of good domains wasted:
shutyourpiehole.com
I'm trying to figure out which is scarier: that someone would search for "glue ass shut" or that my site was returned for it...
An interesting way to tie together the two biggest topics in my technology life right now:
"IT/Ginger won't be revealed until 2002, the proposal says. No one has seen the project except Kamen, Kemper, the engineers and the investors -- which include Doerr, a partner in the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which helped launch Netscape, Amazon, Juniper Networks, Excite, and @Home, among others"
Why the hell would Kamen show anything to someone stupid enough to invest in Netscape, Excite or @home? (BTW, IT/Ginger is a magical device that will change all of our lives, we just don't know how or what it is. Watch Good Morning America tomorrow to find out what it is...i'm shivering just thinking about it...or am i just cold...)
Another note about cable:
On a message board, I found this very true quote:
"...but because there is no money is home user broadband. Excite@Home is in bankruptcy....
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP...Excite@home is NOT in bankruptcy because there is no money in home user broadband...they are in bankruptcy because they spend FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH (700M if you include cash & stock) on a worthless piece of crap like Blue Mountain Greeting Cards . COM. "
Then again, I also found
"Quit surfing Pr0n so much and use T3Ln3T. Then you can be l337 like me and h4xs0r the universe."
God, all of this is so funny to me. Fools, all of you. But then again, the fools can't read this right now...hmm...
