I’d like to apologies to everyone who were unable to access the website yesterday. I’ve been trying to transfer toblender.com away from Netfirms, my most hated of hosting services. Unfortunately the hosting I transferred to seem equally incompetent. Not only did they make me wait for two months for the domain transfers, I also had to “delete” then re-add my domains to their service. As a result of deleting the domains I lost access to one of my domains.

The only bright side is that the customer support is pretty good. So good that they “RICK ROLLED” me while I was on hold.

This comic reminds me of when Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes), created a duplication machine, and started causing havoc. I really love Calvin and Hobbs, it is my favorite comic series of all time. I used to save up money to order them from Scholastic, so that I could give them as a birthday gift to my sister Emily, since she was the one who introduced me to the comic. I was always impressed by the comics vocabulary level, and the carefully calculated responses Calvin would have for disobeying his mother. The comic is also full of great observations of life. It’s like the Simpsons (the classic Simpsons), they get funnier as you get older. I would really like it if I were able to write as well as Bill Watterson someday, but I guess I’m still a few thousand hours short in terms of practice.

PS. Speaking of replications and clones check out MadTV Arnold Clone.

The Avatar 3D experience in IMAX was so intense, that a man actually threw up. Unfortunately the man threw up BEHIND my friend Alex, without aiming down, without saying sorry, right at the climax of the movie. Needless to say it was Alex’s worst movie experience ever.

I used to work at the theater and did just about every job. I was a ticket seller, ticket checker, theater cleaner, washroom cleaner, and food server, sometimes all in one night. Making money ain’t easy.

No, that wasn’t me

I was not the one who was vomited on, that was another Alex. So if there is some sort of Xbox Live achievement for that, it should be revoked or something.

Anyways, while drawing this comic, I was reminded of the definitive Star Wars: Episode I review posted by RedLetterMedia on YouTube. I recommend watching it, despite its length (70 minutes? really?) and despite the stupid sociopath killer allusions.

The last part of the review starts talking about how Lucas botched the movie with his absolute control of the production. It’s argued that hardships and meddling from other people actually create a better end product (“art from adversity”). With no one to challenge Lucas’ divine edicts, bad things result. I think there’s a universal lesson in that somewhere.
