Mike Schmidt is doing my introductions now.
In the last episode of Roderick on the Line, John Roderick explains exactly why I don’t make more things: critiquing. Self-creitiquing and external critiques.
I sat in an uncomfortable wooden chair for over five hours today in a certain coffee shop. After about an hour I realized I could probably deal with anything. After an hour and two minutes I started plotting against the manufacturers of uncomfortable wooden coffee shop chairs.
Needless to say I’m just going to bring my own office rolling chair to Starbucks.
I will roll it to the counter to order chai lattes. I will roll it to the bar to pick up chai lattes. I will roll it over that fucking woman who sits next to the god damn door smoking a cigar everyday.
I will be greeted as a liberator. Lungs everywhere will praise me. Jake, destroyer of uncomfortable wooden coffee shop chairs. Jake, destroyer of that god damn near-the-fucking-door cigar-smoking woman.
About a minute remaining.
MaxFunCon WEST is coming oh so soon and MaxFunCon EAST has just been announced!
I AM SO EXCITED.
Here’s a retina iPad wallpaper and desktop wallpaper for your computer.
(I did not make anything, I simply compiled it into a wallpaper.)
Waiting for Matt at Starbucks, I have to pee, and realizing I can share my awful not-funny text message jokes on Tumblr too.
One of you.
When I got my Kindle for Christmas so long ago I was, almost immediately, greeted with the most horrifying author photo of Emily Dickinson…
If you own an e-ink Kindle you should read this and forward it to Amazon.
Or?
Or what?
I’ll tell you what: Emily Dickinson will murder you. Duh. Check that face.


I put off checking out The Hunger Games for a while. Then the movie was coming out and in my mind I was thinking, “Oh hey that book with the cool cover is getting a lot of press. I should check it out.” So I downloaded it on my Kindle. The downside? The Kindle doesn’t show me book covers, so I never got to look at the cover I always thought was so nice. Well now I made the cover into a retina iPad-friendly wallpaper. Completely made in Illustrator from the ground up. Please enjoy looking at Katniss’s pin of a Mockingjay on the device of your choosing.
