There is a comic I read where the artist is often bashed for spelling words incorrectly. Even with a couple of proofreaders, some faults still spill over.

He posts on his website telling his viewers that there are problems working 40 hours a week, working on site maintenance, and other projects with the comic, FOLLOWED by making a cohesive, and entertaining sketches with dialogue (in color).

This leads to a very late submit time, and the proofreaders are receiving them very late at night or early in the morning, depending on the time zones.

He griped about it, and asked for donations, saying that if he got $22,000 (roughly his yearly income), he would quit his day job, and work on the comic full time. He claimed with with his comic's traffic, 25 cents to a dollar from each would fulfill that goal (wow).

Within a month's time, he received the alloted amount, and will be quitting his day job soon. Here is the image/text upon completion:



I find it incredibly amazing.

Also, regarding Tech Fest -- great day, and things went well. I'm so glad I helped out, since one of the winners said he might sell me his guitar (which he bought for less than 100, which is definitely going to be a good deal for me).

Also, after seeing the performance and recounting how Edgar asked me to do stand-up comedy, it made me remember that I need to work on it later.

Anyone remember that song that has a phone number in it? I have a joke about it that I want to remember, but I'd like to find the song and listen to it to make sure I do the joke right =)

off to work...
