Kids_ToyI created a new comic for the Float Learning website that hits close to home. If you are a parent with an iPad, you are probably all too familiar with this scenario.

Thanks goes to my buddy Chad for helping me tighten up the dialogue.


Brave

Dude, Pixar’s new film “Brave” Looks absolutely beautiful! I’ve seen some concept art previously, but it can be hard to judge the final look of a film from concept art. It appears that Pixar is going for a very high-fidelity looks with this film. Lots of rich color and detail. And her hair! I remember a time in the world of 3D animation when short, spiky fur was insanely difficult to produce. Man, have the times changed. I can’t wait to see more!

EDIT: Ryan Pointed out that the Teaser Trailer is now online:

MORE EDITS: While I’m feeling extra warm and fuzzy for Pixar, how about a 20 minute interview with John Lasseter and Steve Jobs on the Charlie Rose show discussing the worlds first computer animated feature film:

I think we can all agree that Friday night is for partying, whooping it up, and a heroic amount of debauchery. But what about Friday evening? You don’t want to start your drinkin’ too early. If you do, you’ll end up being the first one to pass out amongst your friends, and we all know the horrible / hilarious things we do to our unconscious friends. If you’re lucky, all they’ll do is write on you in permanent marker. The less fortunate usually wake up in a foreign country and, due to the language barrier, have to use pantomime to explain to the local authorities that his friends were the ones who painted his body like a honey bee and left him naked on their chamber of commerce’s main meeting table.

You don’t want that, do you?

Instead, sit back and listen to a live recording of the Geeks of Steel podcast this Friday night! Geeks of Steel is a weekly podcast hosted by me and Matt Forcum Adam Huber (the cartoonist behind Robot Beach that Bug comic) where we discuss all sorts of geeky stuff. This will be our first attempt at doing a live show and we’re hoping, assuming the technology doesn’t fail us (or vice versa), to make this a regular thing. It’ll be on Matt’s my own Ustream channel – click here to be whisked away there right now. The broadcast will start around 8:00 PM central time.

Hope to see you guys there!


I was surprised and delighted to find this wonderful little piece in my mailbox along with a very kind note from Don Ahé. I recently discovered Don’s comic Road Apples Almanac through a friend on twitter and instantly fell in love. This is the kind of thing I wish I were good enough to do. Quick-witted and expertly drawn. It is a wonderful mix of modern humor and classic illustration. Please take a moment and check out his work. If you like Robot Beach, I’m sure you’ll love Road Apples Almanac.
