Wizzywig – A Beautiful Story of Hacker Lore In The Comic Form
Today I was listening to the most expensive podcast out there, Gweek, and one of their guests was the comic artist Ed Piskor. They mentioned his first solo project, Wizzywig, which sounded like an interesting rehash of ye old phone phreak and hacker lore, packed up into a rather sad and beautiful story. This piqued my interest, and what makes Gweek so expensive for me was that I did what I usually do in these cases: thumbed a search on my phone, realized the comic is available on comiXology, and bought it there and then. After the day’s hijinx I dropped in to my favourite watering hole just to read a couple of pages on my iPhone. I ended up drifting back home after one beer so I could read the comic better on an iPad screen, and finishing the whole album on one sitting. Wow.
Camping Trip in Nuuksio – Or How To Get Insulted into Productivity By Your Subconscious
I’ve been a little bit here and there throughout the summer, and after a week of hard work and even harder carousing I finally managed to gather together my camping gear scattered around by the move, buy the things I had lost, and head over to Nuuksio National Park to relax. As it turned out, it was a trip of surprising productivity.
Indiana Janos and The Small Shards of Pottery
This summer I’ve been more broke than in ages, thanks to the move. Ironically enough I also had the first three weeks of paid summer holiday in my life. When I was figuring out what interesting stuff there is to do, an archaeologist pal Grade mentioned that there will be a dig near Turku, where they are excavating a stone age settlement that dates to 2000-4000 BP. I volunteered to be a digger, which turned out to be a pretty awesome experience.
Still sharp enough to precision cut paper after 2000-4000 years.
