Today marks 11 years of PC Weenies comics. And to celebrate, I’m throwing in the sweetest deal of the day, one that will NOT be repeated.
Today, for one day only (as in 24 hours):
If you buy a regular edition copy of PC Weenies: Rebootus Maximus, you get all the perks of the Artist Edition for no extra cost!
Simply put HAPPY 11TH along with the name of the PCW character you want me to draw in your book, when you place your regular edition order. You can put that info in the “Additional Comments” field before you submit your order.
That’s it.
Every book bought will tack on one extra day to my beard. The more books that are ordered, the more you save (my beard). 
For $20 + shipping, you’ll get:
- Rebootus Maximus, 120 pages of techie goodness!
- the PCW / Uncubed Sampler #1 (a $5 value, while supplies last!)
- an autographed book with a sketch inside! (Pick your favorite PCW character!)
That’s the BEST deal I can provide, because I truly believe that you’ll really enjoy the book when you buy it. Now go order the book!
(If you already have one, why not buy another? They make great holiday gifts!)
P.S. if you’d like to order more than one copy of “Rebootus Maximus”, send me an e-mail and we’ll figure something out.
Now get ordering!

True story.
I was walking home, in tears, and my mom was outside on the front patio. She sees this kid crying, and then is stunned to learn that it’s me. I have no idea how I crossed the intersections alone. And I’m equally lucky that a stranger didn’t stuff me into their car…

The time is right to delve back into my distant past, when I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I haven’t thought about my life there in years…

I was in the process of drawing the model shown above while broadcasting on UStream, when they dropped my video stream and banned me from the service. The drawing was for a friend of mine, who had wanted to watch me create the image. I am absolutely livid at UStream for banning me outright, with no possible recourse. I have dropped them a note, as such, to let them know how I feel about this.
Feel free to write in with your complaints.
I am in the process of finding a better service to where I can broadcast my cartooning and illustration. UStream just lost me for good.

Tires are expensive. On Monday I went in for a routine oil change. $600 later, I came away with 3 new tires, a fixed tail-light, an alignment and a new wiper-blade.
Can I really put a price on safety? I think I just did.

P.S.: I’m liking the color accents with gray scale, so expect to see that from me in future UNcubed installments.

Aarti, Sonia and Lucy have made it safe and sound to Mumbai. I just spoke with Aarti on the phone a few minutes back.
Sonia was a real trooper – behaving incredibly well, amidst the unforeseen circumstances of a delayed flight and unplanned stopover.
Understandably, the girls are tired and excited to be back with family. I’m looking forward to catching up with them on Skype soon.
On the home front, I did some house-hold chores, finished creating Tuesdays and Thursday’s PC Weenies comics, getting all my course syllabi up to snuff, and preparing the first week of project assignments. I also reorganized my office area, making better use out of the limited space I have.
Dinner this evening was frozen ravioli. Not the best, but passable for sustenance.
Tomorrow I’m tackling a revamp of my lesson plans for my Advanced 2D Animation class. I also have to buy some groceries and run a few errands.
All in all, I feel like I’m rested and in good shape to start the Fall quarter.

I came back from a bike ride this morning to a voice mail. It was Aarti. Apparently, their flight from Brussels to Mumbai hit a slight detour, with an emergency landing in Budapest.
I haven’t spoken to Aarti directly, but I know (based on the voice mail) that they are okay and are in the process of arranging a local Budapest visa before resuming their course tomorrow.
I’ll be on pins and needles until they make it to Mumbai safely.
