Anyone know of any good widgets for making and posting top 5 or top 10 lists? I'm looking for something that is not topic specific (like the imdb movie list widget). Shoutlist kind of does this, but it doesn't seem like there are many (any) users, and the functionality is pretty bare bones.

Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't shill for Josh's blog du jour: http://napalmbackflip.wordpress.com/

Captain Jibidy 110

Read the strip here. Jibidy really is there in that last panel, albeit out of focus. I just couldn't fit him in with the layout.

Captain Jibidy 109

Read the strip here. Sorry for the long, long delay. My digital camera died, and it's kind of hard to take pictures of Lego people without one. So I bought a new one yesterday, and voila! New comic. It's going to take me some time to get caught up, so expect about one new strip a week (going live by Monday morning) until I get a healthy backlog.

In case you forgot what is going on, here's a recap:

Jibidy, Pete, and Billy are staying with Marlo until they can find their own place
Bill Fang's gender was revealed, uncomfortably so to Pete
Jibidy wants to fight crime

Today we take a peak at what's been going on at Sketchy Shoes in our heroes' absence. We haven't seen the place since issue 70.

Also, at least one person has asked for my top list of movies so far for the year. It's been hard for me to do this, because I recently finally saw 5 movies in the theater! But here you is the list for this year so far:

Movies in the Theater:
1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
2. In Bruges
3. Iron Man
4. Cloverfield
5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Aliens, err Skull
6. Harold and Khumar smoke pot with President Bush

Notable highs and lows from Netflix:
Highs: Lars and the Real Girl, Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 30 Days of Night

Lows: Revolver, Southland Tales, P2

Do you smell what Barack is cooking?

I'm pretty sure I just heard Barack Obama say that on WWE Raw. I don't think I've been drinking. For more Obama-y goodness, check out this picture of the O-Zone from Saturday's Blue-White game. I'm in the bottom right corner, white shirt and sunglasses.

Sorry I've been AWOL lately. I've been busy promoting my new novel, The Junk Whisperer: Or, Things Tequila Taught Me, on sale now here. Go check it out! New issues of Jibidy should return in a few weeks.

Here it is. Last time I mention that Billy is a girl. And could this be the end of the Spider-Pirate?

Captain Jibidy 107

Today's episode is here. I just can't get enough of that Spider-Pirate. And neither can Jibidy.

Mar 29, 2008

Sorry!

Turns out that I'm not quite caught up enough to keep up with the three comics a week deal. I'll have the next issue up on Monday, and see how much I manage to complete over the next few days.

Other:
--I finally starting watching the new Battlestar Galactica. I'm not hooked yet, but I'm about halfway through season 1 and so far it's really interesting. Certainly nice to watch something smart while Lost is on a mini hiatus.

Captain Jibidy 106

Today's issue is here. Pete deals with the revelation of Billy's identity. Poorly.

New Jibidy up tonight

Seriously. As soon as I get home. Look for it.

Captain Jibidy 105

Monday's strip is up here. The mystery of Billy Fang continues to unravel. For more on the twist at the end, look to Wednesday's #106. My apologies for the partial lego nudity. (if that doesn't entice you to click the link, I don't know what will)

Also:
--I'm not a vegetarian anymore! I'm super excited and have already managed to consume beef, turkey, chicken, and pork in the last 36 hours. Gross, right? So much for the 12 pounds I lost over the last six weeks.
--I picked up the new Gnarls Barkley album on Friday (The Odd Couple), but I've only listened through once or twice so far. What I've heard I really like.
--Finally saw Cronenberg's Naked Lunch. Maybe the weirdest movie I've ever seen. And I've seen some weird stuff.

Junk Whisperer

I'm just about finished with my novel, The Junk Whisperer. It should available in early April. Anyways, I just read this piece of dialogue. And it made me laugh. If it makes you laugh (out of context, of course) maybe you should pick up the book when it comes out.

Thad also thought that little people were funny, but mostly when they weren’t trying to kill him. Thunk! Another throwing star hit the mailbox. “Sonuvabitch!” it exclaimed.

“He's about halfway across the yard, can you shoot the dwarf or something?” Thad asked.

“Oh, so now you’re ok with me killing people?”

“It’s self defense!” he exclaimed. "I’m not exactly giving you permission to go on a spree at a convent.”

Read Friday's issue here.

It's time to learn a little more about Billy Fang.
