Brandon Graham

From Brandon's latest blog entry. I warn you: Brandon's blog entries are one of the greatest things on the comics internet, but each one is nine feet long and very graphics-intensive.

Received Goods 7dec09

I am completely failing to keep track of the volume of stuff entering my house lately. I think I've even lost the last issue of THE WIRE, still sealed in its plastic bag. So I'm making Received Goods its own category, in an effort to force myself to at least log the physical objects being shoved through the door most days.

I pre-ordered this, and am looking forward to digging into it tonight:

T-Shirt Of The Week #007: I ATE THE BABY

TOTW is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull each week in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I've said on Twitter and elsewhere, often in a state of extreme alcoholic refreshment or severe sleep deprivation, and put them on a t-shirt. Ariana set up a Cafe Press store (because this is a joke and engaging with a serious maker of t-shirts would be less funny to us), and… well, once a week, here we are.

Through this website...

Twitter: The Grease Trap Of The Human Meat Computer

For a while, I had a capture of my twitter feed running here. It ended up doing something weird to my API calls, stopping me from running my desktop client, so I killed it. Which is probably just as well, as I talk a lot of shit on Twitter. It's basically mental slurry, the wet lumpy bits from a day spent at the keyboard vented off into a trap so the buildup doesn't blow some crucial valve in my head. Look at these, from the last month:
