This is the fourth and final episode that is being brought to you by the Kickstarter campaign for The Webcomics Handbook. Dave Kellett, Kris Straub and Brad Guigar look back on 2014, make plans for 2015, discuss crowdfunding and more.
Plus we look at the effects of doing the same strip for over a decade. New projects are calling, but how do we make that transition?
And... *choke* have we become the old men we used to laugh about?

In the third of a four-part series of bonus Webcomics Weekly episode made possible by the Kickstarter backers of The Webcomics Handbook, Dave Kellett, Kris Straub and Brad Guigar discuss the crowdfunding phenom Patreon!
This conversation picks right up where the previous episode left off, so if you missed Webcomics Weekly KS-2, you may want to listen to that one first!

And now... the first of TWO new episodes of Webcomics Weekly coming your way in July!
Due to the overwhelming Kickstarter support of The Webcomics Handbook, the WW crew will do four new episodes of our popular podcast. The first one has already posted, and this is the second — with the third yet to come!
Dave, Kris and I got together for a marathon recording session over the weekend, and we taped enough material for two epic podcasts. Unfortunately, Scott was not able to join us — he was traveling to Texas to celebrate his father's 70th birthday. But we soldiered on and talked about all of the stuff that's been happening since we last got together in March.
For Kris, that's a biggie — his wife, Marlo, is due with their first baby soon. So, veteran fathers that we are, Dave and I sit the lad down to share a little hard-won advice. That turns to anecdotes and eventually, the inevitable references to poopy diapers.
Meanwhile, Dave's in the throes of promoting Stripped, the documentary on comic strips that has been a powerhouse on iTunes since its first day! The movie has just been released in Canada, and he and co-creator Frederick Schroeder are traveling all over for screenings. But what happens when cartoonists who didn't get included in the movie complain to him about the grievous omission? Heh... tune in and find out!

Thanks to the generous support of the Kickstarter backers of Brad Guigar's new book The Webcomics Handbook, we've got four new episodes of Webcomics Weekly coming your way. And this first one is a doozy! Scott, Dave and Brad site down to talk about an amazing moment in cartooning history. Bill Watterson came out of "retirement" to draw his first cartoon since ending "Calvin & Hobbes" — and it's a special poster for Kellett's webcomics documentary, Stripped! Dave tells us all of the behind-the-scenes details that we've been dying to hear!

Enjoy this podcast from the Webcomics Weekly archives. It was taped mere minutes before Adsdaq booted a bunch of webcomics from its roster. So the discussion of its usefulness is academic at best. However, there's also a great discussion about whether a 15-year-old cartoonist should reveal his true age. But the true gem comes at the end when we fall down a typical WW rathole around the moustache of Fleen.com's Gary Tyrell.

New Version of LEGO Digital Designer Version 2.3 With PF Elements !!!
I just been playing with it - for me the most coolest addition is the PF Elements !!!
A quick look at the boxes included shows some new additions - the most notable ones are the LEGO Creator 4957 Ferris Wheel and the cool 4958 Monster Dino.
Thanks LEGO for listening. Now we can include PF motors in our NXT robotic models. It is a shame they still dont have the IR-Lnk though - you have to use a light sensor as a place holder until the IR-Link makes it to the pallette!
Why not try it and see if you like it?

Man I really am impressed over how much better this is than the previous version. It has all the parts I've needed now (almost), unlike the previous version, which just had like half of the parts I use to many of usually.. :-)

@ Bricktron, I hope so too, I hop you can make 90* bend in gear chains to now, unlike the previous version, where you hardly could make the gears fit with eachother. I am playing around with it now, so I will come with an update soon if not anyone else is quicker then me.

They haven't fixed the gear meshing "bug" (am I allowed to call it that?) yet. It is kinda annoying...

PF stands for "Power Functions". It's the term for the new motors. They have the same core as NXT motors.

Customization has become a hallmark of design, and digitally printable textiles are proving to be another avenue interior designers can take to create one-of-a-kind items for their clients. "Custom-printing fabrics is both affordable and accessible," says Rysa Pitner, co-founder of online-based Fabric on Demand. "The process makes it easy for designers to distinguish their goods from those widely available in the market."
Whether you're looking to launch your own line of pillows or craft a unique ottoman for a customer, digital printing offers many advantages. One is immediacy. "Digitally printed fabrics are much more on-demand," says Joseph Terramagra of printer manufacturer Mimaki USA. "You don't have to worry about the old method of screening. Setup time is shorter. And if you have any changes, you can make them quickly." What's more, there's no need for inventory. Adds Terramagra: "If you're digitally printing for a client, you don't have to stock rolls of fabric that no one is going to use."
Turnaround times are also favorable; many digital print studios can finish products within a week of receiving the final design. And designers don't have to be Photoshop or printing specialists to develop their own designs. If you can dream it, you can print it on nearly any textile. (Print shops typically have a variety of natural, synthetic and blended fabrics from which to choose.) While most printers do require a high-resolution image (typically 300 dpi) to fulfill orders, if you aren't adept at using imaging software, some printers offer graphic design assistance or can refer you to a graphic artist. Another benefit: Digitally printed textiles hold up as well as their conventional counterparts. "Color fastness and wear-and-tear are consistent with traditional fabrics," Pitner notes.
Many digital printers are Web-based, so everything from uploading the file to final approval is done online. That makes the process convenient, but working with an online shop does present one big challenge: color matching. Computer monitors display colors differently than the actual fibers do. To help customers get the colors they want, many print studios offer color charts and blankets, along with digital proofs and printed swatches.
Still, plenty of designers have overcome color obstacles to create original designs, and even their own entire collections. For instance, Jackie Von Tobel, author of The Design Directory of Window Treatments, developed her own line of cotton-linen and organic sateen fabrics that feature styles such as damask, paisley and chinoiserie. Premade pillows that complement the fabrics are also available for purchase. Von Tobel prints her fabric on an as-needed basis, eliminating the need for warehousing inventory. "You can do fabulous things with digital printing," Von Tobel says. "It's like you're working with an artistic canvas. You can do anything with it!"
And don't forget: Sherwin-Williams has more than 120 colors coordinated with Robert Allen fabrics as part of their multifaceted collaboration. Learn more at sherwin-williams.com/robertallen.

Comments about PARKSIDE Badminton Set:
Very cheaply made. Broke the second day we had it. The net itself is fine but the spike system to keep the net in the ground is terrible. Its made of plastic and so it bends easily and thus breaks easily. I wouldn't waste my money to buy this again.

That's the crazy world of MMA. You can kick a guy's ass for 25 minutes and still not win the decision.
Reading the article I thought that Hendricks was acting like a docuhebag, watching the video I just confirmed that.What a terrible role model. I love how people take these news articles out of context instead of waiting to watch the video to see the other 70% of communication which is non-verbal.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Georges has a responsibility to his fans, Hendricks and more importantly himself. He's still in his prime and arguably lost his most recent fight. All the bullshit he's spouting about not sleeping is just whining and an excuse to walk away with his "legacy" intact. Hendricks has 3 kids, a wife and I'm sure a shot ton of other responsibilities yet he still does interviews, trains, does PR and fights. What a bullshit excuse. How would it look if I decide to take 2-3 years off work because I'm having trouble sleeping? Are commercials, music videos and short films gonna shoot themselves? It's his job grow a fucking pair Georges and if you want time off leave the belt take your asterix and let other men have their shot. For Christs sake he sounds like my stoner cousin with his self importance bullshit wanting everyone to drop everything so they can coddle him and hold his hand to his next job interview.
Seriously what happened to time where champions were tough and made of oak? They are supposed to represent the best of the best in mentality, personality, ability and physicality. Anderson and Cain are the only two that come to mind where they actively want to fight the best and have a no bullshit personality. Even when Cain lost to Dos Santos with a... torn bicep(was it?) he never said anything it was leaked from his camp.

"After Overeem lands two knees, Fujita backs into the corner then sheepishly tries sneaking past. Alistair punches him back into the corner and lands a third knee that I swear lights on fucking fire before it impacts.". -cracked version of the climax of Fujita vs Overeem fight.
Do not forget that MMA fighters are normal human beings like you and me, do not expect them to be machines that can perfectly train 15 hours per day their whole life.
You talk as if GSP is a pussy and a coward, wtf are you talking about???
It is obvious that his problems are much more than "little trouble to fall asleep at nights", another thing is that he does not want to reveal details of his personal life (which is absolutely understandable).
He has been training for many many years, he has been punishing himself in an insane way. I doubt that you would be able to endure for 1 month what he has been enduring for at least 15 years.
Do not compare him to Hendricks because GSP was the UFC champion before Hendricks had his first MMA fight.
Do not compare them in terms of PR because GSP has to do like a million more interviews and similar stuff than Hendricks.
You fail to realize that GSP, as any other MMA fighter is a normal human being. He is just very tired from all the years of insane training, plus he now has serious personal problems.
It is very OK that he wants to take some time off to rest and recover. I would understand what you are saying if GSP had been fighting for 2 years or something like that. He had been fighting in MMA for 11 years, he has been champion for 6 straight years.
GSP is one of the toughest fighters, both physically and mentally, and because he announced that he wants to take some time off it means that he is a pussy?
What do you mean by "Seriously what happened to time where champions were tough and made of oak?", you sound like some grumpy 75 year old man.
You think that GSP is not tough?
Not only brazilians can do this stuff

"If a man with no arms and a man with no legs started learning karate, the same light bulb would appear over every head in Japan. Thats right: Glue them together and see if it can kill a panda."
Amongst Hendricks, Jones, Dos Santos and Rousey it's hard to tell which one loves their self the most. Jones at least has his accomplishments to substantiate his self worth. Cain is a fine example though along with guys like Fedor, Sakuraba, GSP, Bendo or even Edgar. There are many other examples as well.
I don't particularly care for GSP, but he's been a great champion and an even better representative of MMA.
I think the only thing Georges owes is a timely explanation--with a huge focus on timely.
If he's going to retire, he should make the announcement in a few weeks, no longer than another month or so. He should rest, do what he can to sort his head out, and then determine what his course of action is going to be.
If he retires, good for him.
If he continues to fight, good for us.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
The only thing GSP owes anyone is letting us know if he is going to retire, just take an extended break (doesnt he always), or what he meant by hang it up for awhile. He doesnt have to tell us why, but he needs to let his intentions be known. He doesnt need to do it right away, take a month, like Riv said, think things through then make a dec.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
This spring break, CU-Boulder's Alternative Breaks Program has sent students far and wide to engage in community-based service projects.
In grade school classrooms across the country, students have been hard at work this semester trying to figure out how to smash a virtual frog with a virtual truck. They're building their own video games—inspired by the 1980s classic Frogger—and there are a thousand details to work out.
CU Law School student Jocelyn Jenks so enjoyed going out to teach state high school students about the Constitution in 2012 that she came back this year to participate as an alumna.
"The experience was wonderful, and I jumped at the opportunity to work with high school students again this year," said Jenks (Law '12).
When the raw egg plummeted to the playground hardtop at Creekside Elementary School in Boulder, falling exactly 36 inches, the shell shattered and the gooey insides oozed out. The 18 kindergartners looking on were rivited.
A few minutes later, a second egg — this one wrapped in a "helmet" of taped-together bubble wrap and dropped from exactly the same height — fared much better, escaping with its shell still intact.
In class one recent Monday, a group of CU-Boulder undergraduates in environmental design met with a city of Boulder official to review their building plans, soon to be constructed by the students at the local Admiral Burke Park. That's when they learned of a hitch.
The student team can't build on certain parts of the grounds—those that aren't owned by the city, which is supporting the project.
"On one hand, I'm gonna tell you, 'This is no big deal, bark beetles have been around for 35 million years, conifers have been around for a lot longer than that, and bark beetles have been killing conifers for 35 million years. There have been epidemics every 30 to 70 years. This is no big deal.'
"Then, on the other hand, I'm gonna tell you, 'Holy smokes guys, this has never been seen before. Yes, it's an epidemic, yes, epidemics are natural, but never has there been an epidemic like this as far as biologists have been able to look into the past."
Since the opening season more than 50 years ago, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival (CSF) has grown to be more than a summertime Boulder tradition—it has become a nationally recognized Shakespeare festival.
Begun in 1958 with productions of Julius Caesar, Hamlet and the Taming of the Shrew, CSF has played a prominent role in the life of the campus and the Boulder area, serving as a gathering place for theatre lovers.

16 Best Bronzers
If your Casper-like complexion needs a touch of faux glow, try using one of these best bronzers
Why it's great: This bronzer has the "perfect amount" of shimmer. One reviewer says it "brushes on smoothly and left [her] looking like [she] had natural color." This bronzer "won't make you look like you're orange ... it goes on your skin perfectly and smoothes out any blemishes." Even though it's "highly pigmented, it's easy to work with ... this is a wonderful pro-quality product that every gal can use," sums up one reader.

when i originally heard about this project i thought of it as a visual to audio connection we make, which it seems is inherent in a site with sound. i was reading some of the exerts of "Sound Unbound" in which they talked about early attempts at a color organ. i think it is cooler people were attempting to do this analogically but i used max msp to put these things together. I think more research into how frequency of color (if there is such a thing) better corresponds to sonic pitch could make this a stronger tool in understanding our senses and inner connections to external sense stimulus.
this version has been programed into a C minorish scale. if you want you can figure out how to change the notes and colors and such. once again the file open with max 5 if the file name ends in .maxpat sans any .txt

West Bank villagers view Oscars at night, outdoors
BILIN, West Bank (AP) - This wasn't your typical Oscar viewing party.
In the West Bank village whose struggle to regain land taken by Israel was portrayed in an Oscar-nominated documentary, activists huddled around a campfire before dawn Monday to watch the ceremony.
For added symbolism, they pinned the screen to a tent just meters (yards) away from Israel's West Bank separation barrier, which cut off the village of Bilin from much of its land.
Some smoked water pipes, huddled in sleeping bags or warmed their hands over the fire as actors in gowns and tuxedos performed on a stage half-way around the world.
The documentary, "5 Broken Cameras," did not win, and some said they were disappointed. But protest organizer Abdullah Abu Rahma says the Oscar nomination gave Bilin's struggle a big push.
The village has been the scene of weekly protests against the barrier, which were documented in the film. Palestinians charge that the barrier, which cuts into the West Bank, is a land grab. Israel says it's needed to keep Palestinian attackers out.

That would be really weird to have Maria back in WWE now. Don't know much about Bennett here, but anyone outta ROH gets a shot in my book as they produce some of the best talents in the biz right now.

Full Sail University announced on Thursday that Kevin Nash, Wade Barrett, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins andRoman Reigns will all appear at next week's WWE NXT taping on Thursday, December 6, 2012.

that would be cool to see and would prove he's the biggest dog in the yard!
Since Kevin Nash is on a legend's contract and hasn't done anything lately, why would he suddenly appear at NXT with The Shield? Could it be that he's going to manage them ala Ted DiBiase?
Managing the Shield? Watch that hip!

Thomas Latimer, who appears as Kenneth Cameron for WWE's developmental promotion, NXT, was arrested late Thanksgiving Eve in St. Petersburg, Florida, on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly intoxication. He was taken into custody to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and released on $5,100 bail, with the battery charge costing $5,000 and the disorderly intoxication charge costing $100.
This is not Latimer's first run-in with the law. He was arrested on January 29, 2011 in Hillsbourgh, Florida, on charges of driving under the influence.
It would appear that WWE cut ties with Latimer following his arrest. His profile has been removed from the roster page of the developmental promotion's official website, fcwwrestling.info.
Latimer, who is 26-years-old and hails from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, joined WWE two years ago. He has been tag teaming with Conor O'Brian as of late, with the duo known as The Ascension.

Indeed. Ideally, they'd draft in someone else to replace Kenneth Cameron, and team Paige up with them as well. I doubt it'll happen though.
darn that team had potential!

The First ButtonContributed by Micheal Woods, executive director of Western Carolina Rescue Ministries (Asheville, N.C.). Reprinted with permission from The Beacon newsletter.
When I was a little boy, I would always choose a pullover shirt before a button-up. A button-up messed me up. I would get all buttoned and then look in the mirror, only to discover I had an extra button on the top and an extra hole on the bottom. With my misaligned buttons, the shirt hung crooked and I had to start over.
One day my aunt saw my frustration and said, Micheal, instead of starting in the middle, start buttoning your shirt at the top or bottom. If you get the first button right, the others will be right too.
When I think about our lives, I think we can learn a lot from my aunts advice. We try to adjust our lives midway through and we cant get things straight. We wonder why we struggle with people, with God, and with circumstances. We struggle because we have overlooked the first button of love.
Jesus summarized the Christian life by saying that as forgiven and reborn people, we should love God and others: Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-38).
Love is the first buttonwhen we get love in its right place, so much of life finds its place too.

It's a good question, but I don't know of anyone who has ever read both copies and compared the two. I was once listening to an audio copy of Thud! (the US release) while reading the UK book. There were differences, but not really that many.Talven wrote:Hello everyone, I want to buy the English version of "Wyrd Sisters" for a friend and I'm trying to find out more about the differences between the different editions now. Is the US edition from Harper different from the UK versions (spelling changes and so on)? Are there any differences between the different Corgi editions? I'd like to give her a recent edition with British spelling. It would be cool if someone could help me.
