    My God, I am in heaven. They’re doing a second printing of the amazing Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays!, the collection of many of Winsor McKay’s greatest Sunday Nemo pages. This thing is just beautifully made. It’s actual size, too; each comic is lovingly restored at 16×21, as originally printed a hundred…

    It’s lovely when you open your browser and half your Google Homepage tells you that Information is temporarily unavailable. Then you click your RSS reader and it, too, does not work. Then you check the forums that you regularly read, and they’re down. Add to the mix that you, yourself, aren’t feeling up to par,…

    When I moved back to the Triangle from Greensboro, I grudgingly closed up my box at Parts Unknown and forgot all about comic books in the hustle-and-flow of the Big Relocation. Every single time we’ve gone for a stroll down Franklin Street, though, I’m drawn to the big blue awning next to the Mediterranean Deli…

    The weekend is here, and almost half gone. Today was a whirlwind of going to bed too late (yes, we went to bed late enough to consider it today), waking up too late, and then rushing off to Kinston for a cousin’s wedding. It was a quick thing, but good to see the family. We…

    I have officially reached The End of the Internet. Waiting to go pick up the wife, I’ve been browsing for what seems like ages. And I think it’s time to go read a book.

    I really can’t express how annoyed I am with the way the Livejournal feed treated my archives, unloading them all into everyone’s Friends list like so much dump-trucked manure. The worst should be over, but, again, I’m really, really sorry about that. First I make you re-add me as an LJ syndication, and then I…

    Looks like the new addition in August will come complete with block and tackle. Everyone, say hi to Liam. He was an active little fellow today, showing off for the camera as it were. Quite limber, too. Again, I can’t stress how excited I am to meet the little guy.

    For the record, here are the Firefox extensions that I cannot live without like to use. I went through a bit of a culling, and realized that while some of the add-ons were desert-island favorites, and others were just kinda cool. This is assuming that the desert island has wireless, of course.
