Been a very long time since I posted anything here.

The last post was about the first Funzietown comic, and now I'm up to number 44.

Haven't made any money with the comic, but I really enjoy doing it.

There is something about working with India ink and a pen (sometimes brush) that is very soothing.

I've been working as a programmer now for a long time, and I realize that I was really missing the purely creative act of writing. Programming is creative as well, but on the other side of the brain. When I take those left brain/right brain tests I always come out just about completely balanced between the two. I find I need activities that satisfy both sides in order to be really happy. Never thought I'd be drawing, but here I am. Granted I don't draw well, but I am improving and it is very satisfying.

Never fear technical readers! I have three long technical posts in the works. We have a GGMUG meeting next week and only one other person has signed up to speak. These are 20 minutes sessions, so I plan to be prepared to three sessions myself. After the meeting I'll convert those talks into blog posts.
