Update:
My macbook has a power cord once again! Too bad the battery is worthless now. It was interesting to revive it and see my facebook and other stuff from six months ago. One thing I also found is the link to Brett's photojournalism project on my backyard bike trails that was done two summers ago. Here it is:
oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~bs135004/
Other news:
My comic book signing date won't be until the beginning of the next school quarter, rather than in the dead of summer. I don't mind.
Apparently I was on WOUB radio - didn't hear it myself but about a week ago a friend and I were interviewed on how gas prices have affected us and what changes we've made to our lifestyles because of it. I of course told about selling my car and biking everywhere I go. I mentioned that prices in Europe are still higher than ours and that it's a good incentive to use more efficient means of transport.
I also hope to see myself, or at least words of mine, in this Sunday's Athens Messenger. There was a nice photojournalist girl that showed up to bike polo on Thursday, taking lots of pictures and asking about all the bike-related things we do.
I've been progressing in the sport of unicycling with the help of a self-described pirate named Gracie. She gave me a 24" uni to learn on if I returned the favor to someone else. After a week I had become proficient, and already ordered my own uni to ride trials on. Expect photos at some point.
Otherwise, I've been a big part of the Athens Bicycle Co-operative, an organization dedicated to providing bikes and mechanical know-how to the community. We still operate out of a residential garage but support and customers seem to be growing.
It's summer in Athens! Muggy hot hot muggy sweat! I think I'll go jump in a pond!

Hey, maybe I should update my DA for once?
Whups. This page has been neglected awfully long. I've got a butt-load of things I could dump here since it's been a while. Oh-wait...the internet isn't a dump truck. It's a series of tubes!! Expect content soon, anywayz.

Getting published sooon
So as soon as the chapter of Teachings of the Bhikke is finished my publisher CJ is ready to start printing copies of it. I told him this could be about two weeks in the future. (ever seen The Money Pit? Two weeks? Two weeks! ) I have to color a page, a cover, and another page I haven't started yet.
I also have a friend who agreed to make me my own website in exchange for a drawing, which has been completed. So far I've done a quick mock up of the home page.
I would like to express my excitement over these two things...
However,
It has been a long day, I started this week commuting by bike to work and I added another ride into town today
Artist's Time Warp
On a whim, I started moving files from my old VCL webpage to this one. Besides those, there are still many older drawings of mine that I love going back and rediscovering, so I then went through the six or eight old sketchbooks of mine, hunting down my old favorites that begged to be presented. I have something against inking over or altering my original work because I like to keep it as a representation of my skill level at that specific date and time. Instead I scan them as they are and manipulate them digitally until they are web-worthy. I like having a large amount of previous works, it's like a time capsule and a register of skills as th

Wow, you were on the radio?
And, you really sold your car?
Hmm, not so fast perhaps...
Of course the following may not apply to you... for now...
Anyway I began using the bicycle to commute to a restaurant-related part-time job. It is 11.5 miles each way. The first time took a bit out of me, but I have used bicycles all my life so after a few times doing it, my fitness rallied and I was able to do it easily.
However...
the dam knee went bad. It begins to hurt as the commute goes along. I feared making it worse so I had to give up the commute and go back to using the car
until I can see an orthopedic doctor and see what's up with this knee! Agh! 
So you might aught to consider some sort of "backup" for whenever you have a bad cold, a temporary knee problem, or whatever.
(I could come up with all sorts of interesting ways "Shasheerians" think of, for dealing with a temporary problem with pedaling, but where I live is NOT Shasheer. A car (or maybe motor bike) is about the only way to "backup" the bicycle.)
Good luck with that unicycle riding!
How does the Athens Bicycle Co-operative provide bicycles? Reduced price? Free? Lend? Sounds like a great movement!
