First up is Apokalips

If you like XKCD, check out Abstruse Goose.

Amazing Super Powers by Wes & Tony is pretty awesome and it updates quite frequently. To the right of the last panel towards the top of each comic is a hidden link to an extra frame (in lieu of hover-text)

Invisible Hair Suit is edgy and I like the style. This updates less frequently than the others – but it doesn’t disappoint.

We are all very proud of him! He is officially a Fulton engineering school graduate. I forgot my camera, so this will have to do:

See how happy he was!

Some graduates (construction specific degrees) wore hats like this:

I used to think a dean looked like this:

But their dean looks like this:

Mr. Fulton said a funny speech – the ASU engineering school was named after him:

It was weird to see a sea of yellow hats

My brother enjoys learning. Now he will take on the rest of the world and learn a million new things – which is exciting. I can’t wait to see what happens next…

It looks like this..

To get the shots little cars drive around the neighborhoods – One was in my neighborhood yesterday

So I followed it to get into as many streets-view pictures as possible… but it wasn’t easy. The google car driving teenager screamed through the neighborhoods with music blaring… I caught him going slow on video (click on “more” under the picture for a video)

Here is what it looks like now!


This will be her studio to make art and stuff.

My wife is amazing!

Things like firetrucks and parks and wars and such. Here in the desert, we decided to manufacture hundreds of oasis-like parks and scattered them across the city.

Keep in mind… if you come to a park that looks like this:

You should look for a sign…

These parks are scenery for homeowners. They are vacant life size models of better places around the world. The homeowners have a private army looking for anything not perfectly trimmed and beautiful.

That includes vagrants like myself who play amplified music while feeding the ducks.

What are you doing there?

Hey… hey Carleton. Over here…

No no – don’t go to sleep. Aw man.

So we took a little nap.

Carleton always wants to sleep. Or chase birds.

Through sales and marketing and service…

To a secret place… Naturally lit and darker…

Office 1

This is office #1.

I usually go in to this building for meetings.

Office 31

In my house there is an even darker office with a long screen and a little TV.

Office 231

But for fresh air and light I go to the offices scattered across this city.

This is where I met Carleton.

All around there is manufactured beauty and color but no people…

Office 19

This office is as yellow as these pictures look. Somehow the materials used in the concrete makes the world look old and desolate. This office is very hard to find… hidden away deep in a labyrinth of identical houses.

Nobody is -ever- there.

So, as a result I’ve invented the mini-penny.

I’m working on the prototype now.

Also a short story about a magician who just can’t stop shoplifting.

Our room is here (a) – downstairs Jamie did the COOLEST thing to our floors. At first it looked like cement but she is an artist so she kept layering and texturing until it started to look like a leather marble painting. She put a glaze over it (b) so the floors were drying.

I couldn’t go downstairs so I slipped out window

and laid in the hammock just below. Peter even showed up!

I looked up at the full moon, partially hidden by the trees, surrounded by a giant halo as if through a fog
