This meme is pretty cool, so I thought I'd do something for it.

New Geek-Reflections article.

Hey Everyone, There is a new Geek Reflections article up on the website today. Eric Buczynski has written a great story about growing up.
http://www.ageeklikeme.com/ArticleDetail.asp?ArticleId=72&CatId=4
If anyone is interested in writing an article for Geek-Reflections, please drop me a line. For the people who are wondering what is expected, or how does one write an article for the website here is a small outline that I use to write mine...
Writing an Article for Geek-Reflections

1.) Start with a story about your youth and tell us a fond memory you had with “ Inset Geek Item”.
Have picture of you with “said item” if available, or just find an image on the web..

2.) Give us the history of “Geek Item” and tell us when it was popular
*insert picture*

3.) Give us the back story (or Origin) of the character /characters or item.
*insert picture*

4.) Give us some fun facts about the “Geek Item”
*insert picture*

5.) If the ‘Geek Item had a Movie/ cartoon/ TV show, give us the facts about it here.
*Insert Picture*

6.) This is when you list your favorite toys/items from the line.
*Have a picture of every item listed*

7.) In closing tell us the best story of the “Geek Item” and you growing up. This is why this item is special to you and will always have a place in your heart.

End with another picture.

This is just a basic outline to show people how to write a Geek-Reflection article. Writers can change what they want, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway.

Long awaited weekend update

Ok, here's what I did this weekend like I promised.
1.) I worked on my bathroom forever...I've been working on it mainly on the weekends for 3 weeks now. I finished all the gutting and I put the new plumbing in. I burned my fingernail and now I have a blister under the nail, but it's not too bad... just sore. The plumbing only leaked at the first joint I soldered, so not too bad considering I soldered around 20 fittings. I fixed the leak on Sunday and we enclosed and textured the walls. Mandi started painting and it looks good. We were both worried about the color because Jules picked it out. Jules wanted a really wild vibrant color. We settled on a kind of Sea foam green color that works well with the lighting. We bought bead board and anre going ot install it this weekend after Cape!
2.) I went to Target on Friday, and bought the first Season of Heroes for $20. Woot! I watched it with Mandi and she seemed to like it a lot too. It's a shame the second season was such a dud. I wonder when they are going ot do the prequel show about the parents?
3.) I just found out that GLM was hooked into Google Analytics, so I've been able to see what the exact traffic is for the site. The good news is our readership was up 40% since we've updated to the new website. The bad news is that I wasn't getting nearly the traffic I thought I was getting. It is nice to know that the fans I do have are very loyal to the strip and I thank you for this. I humbly suggest that people who are registered with Stumbleupon go through the GLM archive and thumbs up the comics they like. This will enable new readers to find the strip and hopefully boost the readership. Every week we add more readers and this is hopefully only the beginning.
Stay Cool,
Geek Out!

New GLM Strip for everyone! I'm wondering how many people check the strip through LJ? I get a lot of referals through LJ, but would you not read the strip if I didn't post a link here? I'm just asking because I know I only read certain comics when they post a link on LJ.
Stay Geeky y'all...

More comics and life stuff...

Ok, let's get the comic out of the way...
http://www.ageeklikeme.com/

We've tweaked the homepage a little, so the comic is back on the front page, sort of.
I can't speak highly enough of Joe Alfano, whose "Zombie Joe's Brain Matter" has really become a staple to the "New GLM" website. Check out his archives if you haven't already...
http://www.ageeklikeme.com/ArticleList.asp?Type=35&CatId=2
Our traffic has quadrupled in the last week. Thanks to everyone whose been spreading the word about GLM!

On to life as I know it...I'm still looking for a new job. Mandi and I have also started to redo our daughters bathroom. This means a lot of mess as we pull off old tile and drywall. We've gotten most of the demolition done. I'll update with pictures as I get them. Mandi was in a bad mood most of last week (stress) but working on bathroom has really helped her soften up and appreciate me.

Apparently I can't get a passport because I was born on an army base overseas. I have to fill out a bunch of extra paperwork and prove my parents are legal citizens before I can get my passport. It looks like I might not get my passport in time for the trip in June(Mandi's not happy about this ether). Mandi's boss invited us to go with them to Nevis http://www.nevisisland.com/, but I can't go if I don't get my passport.

I've scanned a bunch of pages out of my sketch book and plan on sharing them throughout the coming weeks. I'm warning y'all though, my sketches are not usually very pretty or neat by any standard. Well, I guess that's all I've got...

Animation in Webcomics

  • Apr. 17th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Robbi the man, Robbiandsocks, pulp, Zombie
I've been discussing animation in webcomics in another forum. Most comic creators were against any animation in comics. Now, I add animation to the strips to make them look better. It takes me an extra hour (sometimes more) to animate a comic. The problem is if my readers don't like the animation why even mess with it. So, here's your chance to tell me what you think I should do. Is the animation taking away from the comic, or is it adding to the comic?

New comic and Art!
