I made a comic strip.

My library will hopefully have access to a mobile laptop lab in the coming year. I was looking at some possible uses for it, and came across the Bitstrip website. I can't really "do art" very well, so this site is my only hope of having my own comic strip. It's so easy kids could dive right in and have a blast. And there's the bonus of the site being relying heavily on social networking and remixing. If there's one thing newspapers and morning shows have taught me, it's that the kids these days love social networking. So, there's my first idea for uses of the lab, a "Make your own comic" workshop for kids.

I figured I should practice using the site if I'm going to be helping kids with it, so I created my first comic! I think it's pretty neat. You might disagree.



It looks like it will be just a tease on this blog, so click the picture to see the exciting conclusion!

So, I'm not the most prolific with this whole blog thing. I feel like I've posted more than that, but I assume that has to do with the 300 or so posts I logged while working for Missoula Public Library. Or the 500 or so Top 5's I posted on Myspace.

For your information I am still very active on these social media platforms:

Twitter - Learn more about my daily doings than you really care to.

Facebook - This is like my invite-only email service.

Last.fm - I'm not listening to everything alphabetically, but you can see what I'm listening to by checking here. Just be aware that I'm not the one listening to Sufjan Stevens over and over again. That would be my lovely wife while I'm at work.

I rarely, if ever am active on:

Flickr - I'm almost at the 200 picture limit, and don't know if I want to pay for the premium service.

Myspace - Until/If I have more music to share, this space will host tumbleweeds, and nothing new.

Hope you'll stick around for the next 100 here.
