Death And The End Of Foot Skin

Quickly now, Comixpedia have their End of Year roundtable with some highly esteemed luminaries of the webcomic blogosphere. Much talk about the past and foreseeable future of webcomics. Some of it makes sense, some of it just seems a little wide of the mark and some is just more of the same. An interesting read though, all in all.

Stumbled across a cute new enterprise, through EirePreneur - Aspoke.com offers custom skins for things like laptops and the such. It strikes me as being an idea with a lot of potential and could be used as a handy little promo tool for your website and the such. David Sifry, CEO of Technorati, is a fan.

Can't really speak too much on this but I will record this point for, uh, posterity. One day, while having a rather lengthy slash, I was mulling over the problems we were having with our wonderful Death & Penguins t-shirt designs. My thoughts meandered, as they do, and I was soon chuckling to myself over a, frankly, absurd idea for a children's book. I mentioned it to Frank, who subsequently mentioned it to some others, and the general consensus returned was that it's a great idea. So it would seem we really are going to be doing a children's book. For someone who generally says so little, I do manage to put my foot in it an entirely inordinate amount.
