It's my third day as a contract designer at BioWare, and I'm loving it! I'm working on the recently-announced Star Wars: The Old Republic massively-multiplayer online game. I'm still learning about things, but today promises to be very productive.

quietdarkness was nice enough to do an interview with me for Collector Times (for the December/Christmas issue, no less). It's just over here.

I yabber on about the art corrections to "the road to god knows...," mental illness, Diamond Distribution, and other blather in general. And there's some side by side comparisons of old RTGK art and new RTGK art, too.

Why hasn't digital comic downloads caught on like music, etc?  Maybe it's the failure of industry to rally around a standard?  (Or adopt the de facto CBR standard out there).  Sean Kleefeld breaks down formats and explains the strengths and weakness of them.

BASH Magazine #5 is hitting this streets of D.C. as I write. Likewise, BASH's Comic Calendar for December 2008 has been posted. Enjoy today's comic from Eamon Espey's "Limbs of the Megalith" series.

BASH #5 features our usual (though not ordinary) cast of comic artists: Theo Ellsworth, Eamon Espey, Keith Knight, Jen Sorensen, Dan Archer, Matt Dembicki and others. BASH #5 also welcomes Sean Ford and Jeff Lok to our pages. Enjoy!

This won't really work on a webcomic (unless it's been transcribed than I suppose it might work) but Typealyzer purports to apply the BriggsMyer Personality test to your blog.  I ran ComixTalk.com through it:

Seems about right...

I checked out a new strip called Lifestrips - I like it.  Kind of a combination of American Elf and A Softer World.  Very short rchive so far but if you're into journal type comics I'd recommend trying it out and seeing where it goes.

Hope everyone recovered from Turkey Day (or regular day in the rest of the world)!

And I have been following the news in Mumbai India and my condolences go out to anyone who is suffering right now.  Beyond our common humanity I'm betting a lot of you (like me) have a lot of friends and colleagues with family in India (let alone living there right now) and I have just been struck by that watching the news of these awful terrorist attacks there.  I have a colleague visiting India right now (not in Mumbai though) and I was there for work last December.  Heck I could still be going there this December.

And my PC conked out again (I have to pay someone to fix it next week so I can extract the files) so I bought an iMac.  So far so AWESOME!  1 minute to set up and here I am posting to ComixTalk on it.  I've got lots of extra stuff to set up on it (I'm going to need to do the boot camp thing for WIndows on it) still.  In any event if anyone has any tips to share on cool stuff or sites for the iMac to share please let me know!  Thanks.
