Just wanted to thank everyone for letting me have a day off to keep track of Charlie. He seems to have gotten over it, but I’m going to stick with the medical regimen for a couple days to make sure he’s free and clear. As it were. I do apologize for the interruption, but we’ll be back on schedule Tuesday.

Meanwhile: hope everyone’s enjoying themselves at Otakon this year.

Meanwhile again: don’t forget about The Speed Gamers’ Final Fantasy Marathon.

The Speed Gamers are going to play through Final Fantasy 1 – 10 + 12. In a row. Continuously. For a week.

They’re doing it to raise money for ACT Today. But I secretly suspect they’re doing it to play a bunch of RPGs on someone else’s dime! And then…uh…give those dimes to charity. Like selfish jerks!

Looks like Charlie’s got a urinary tract infection. It’s been over a year since his last one, but we’re still stocked on medicine for it with which he is now filled to the gills. Hopefully it’s just a flare up like the last time and he’ll be back to normal by the end of the day. In the meantime, I can’t get much work done because I’ve got to make sure he’s not trying to turn inappropriate things into his bathroom. Like the bed or any part of the floor. I mean, maybe the Valium will kick in and I can get something done this afternoon, but it’s taken me an hour to type up this much while keeping an eye on him.

So yeah, fair warning, may or may not have a Saturday comic ready. Wish me luck!

Got a couple new products at the NuklearPower.com store.

Maybe you’re interested in them.

Meanwhile, this is not yet available, but it is a sign of things to come.

So, Nerdapalooza was a blast. Hex, I have no idea how you guys duped these acts into coming to Orlando, but you done good.

It was an honor to introduce The Protomen. Sorry if my introduction sucked, I just wanted want everyone else wanted: for me to get off the damn stage so they could get started. It was a success in that regard.

Y’know, I’ve been listening to them for a couple years now. I have to ration myself. Like, there’s a clock at our local diner that just says “Time To Dine!” That’s me, but my clock would say “Protomen”.

But live?

Holy shit.

Turns out there’s a reason why any YouTube of their live performances sounds like garbage. We do not yet have the technology to capture that level of HOLY SHIT. They must record their albums by dialing it down to 11 when they’re in the studio. Because as good as they are on CD, their live show takes things to another level.
