from chaos to slightly less chaos

November 28th, 2006

Today I decided I couldn’t stand the filthy rat’s nest of cables and AC adaptors and dead spiders under my desk for one more second. Here’s a before picture of one small corner of the maelstrom.

Here’s a sampling of the devices I unhooked and dusted off, my own personal electronics warehouse. What the hell are all these freakin’ things?

After. Ahhhh.

That made me feel so good, I also put down fresh duct tape on my splintering plywood floor.

Fun Home made the New York Times list of 100 Notable Books of the Year! Thanks to all the people who alerted me to this fact before I knew it myself.

Cartoonists Panel at Bryn Mawr

November 28th, 2006

Hey, on Thursday I’m going to be near Philadelphia, on a panel at Bryn Mawr College’s Center for Visual Culture. Jessica Abel, Gabrielle Bell, Lauren Weinstein and me will be discussing “New Frontiers in Cartooning and Graphic Novels.” The event is free and open to the public, at 8pm in Thomas Great Hall.

I love them Bryn Mawr women. I used to live in a household full of them, one of whom was my girlfriend.
