For the second time in three years I fried my computer with water. This time my wife placed a small plant in an open jar containing water on the table And I brushed up against it. The water went through the back and onto the board. It immediately turned off and hasn't started since. I refuse to pay 800 bucks to fix it so I'm relegated to using my iPad. The part that makes me angry is that all my comic data was on it without back ups. Very sorry to hear this trombone. I hate that for you !

I'm trying to make the adjustments and I downloaded an app that can allow me to type up documents. I got lazy and stopped backing up things so I have to start over again.

I got lazy and stopped backing up things so I have to start over again. That’s a real bummer, all right... I dread the idea of seeing my computer wiped out. Time Machine is a great app for the MacOS, and there’s probably some equivalent system on Windows... It backs up everything to an external drive as I go along, and going back to a deleted file is as simple as two clicks of the mouse. It’s not as flashy as some other high visibility programs, but it’s the best idea in home computing I’ve seen in many a year. I hope your HD can be recovered, pal.

I use CLZ mobile application for my comics. It was a one time fee ($20 I think) but since it's backed on their equipment I can transfer the data to any mobile device when I change or upgrade devices. The downside is, the desktop version is a separate charge. I got in on a one month free some time back so I can view in on a computer once I log in. But until I pay for it, I cannot add or alter anything on it. That I have to do on the mobile application which will not show on the desktop version until I pay for it. But the mobile application is great for when I do want to buy some issues and have both what I own and my wish list right there at my finger tips.

Youngest son takes the SAT today. I'm perilously close to being done with kids at home.

Youngest son takes the SAT today. I'm perilously close to being done with kids at home. Is that a good thing or a bad thing, or more likely, what mixture of both? I'm still in the early phases, and at the moment the thought my daughter moving out some day is depressing to me, but she's also only 3. I imagine the teenage years might change my tune quickly.

my nephew just turned a year old, too young for comics but have given my bro warning that as Uncle and a comic fan, I feel I be negligent if I didn't do my best to make him a fan also

Why can't American commercials be this cool... a Japanese commercial for Nissin Ramen style chicken noodles...maybe if they were this cool I wouldn't have felt so bad having a Ramen noodle grocery budget the last few years at university and first few years out of college... -M

Good and bad. I'm really glad my boys are going out and trying to attain their goals. But honestly they have been, largely, super easy to deal with even as angsty teens and I enjoy their company. So I'm going to miss him when he's gone.

Random thought of the day courtesy of comedian Stephen Wright-
Half the people you meet are below average.

I'm still in the early phases, and at the moment the thought my daughter moving out some day is depressing to me, but she's also only 3. I imagine the teenage years might change my tune quickly. You might think that, but trust me, you won't feel that way when the time actually comes. My older daughter turns 13 this fall and even though she's sullen at times and boy crazy at others and hyperactive at others and a seething ball of neuroses at others still and she drives me nuts a lot, I cried a little last weekend when my wife and I finished painting her room. We covered up the "little girl" pink and green walls with crimson and gray "teenage" colors (quotes are my daughter's exact words), and I realized that my little girl is growing up and will be moving on with less than 6 years and I won't have my comic convention and Doctor Who buddy around any more. Cherish every second of it, even the rough times, because you only have a few years to make a positive impression on her life before the world starts to tell her what to be, and the world sucks at being a role model, so she's going to need you to be the best one she's ever going to have.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying! Shut up! Thanks for the words. I feel you are right on the money on this.
