I haven’t done a lot of blogging lately. … Well, that’s not entirely true. I’ve been doing plenty of micro-blogging (facebook and twitter). In the meantime, all sorts of interesting things have happened.

  • The first rocky exoplanet has been discovered. It circles closer to its parent star than Mercury (meaning it’s more like a hellish prison planet than a gardeon of eden), but has roughly the same density as the Earth. Good signs for better discoveries in the future.
  • Google has been doing a number of “unexplained phenomenon doodles“, leading many people to believe that we’ve made first contact with Aliens (because, hey – of course Google would know first, right?)
  • Apple just released something blah blah ipod whoever cares…
  • I just released a new version of Shisensho and actually got a really nice comment from someone! score.
  • My son, Alex just turned 13! Holy crap, i’m the parent of a teenager now. For his birthday, we built him a greenhouse.

But the best thing was this xkcd comic i ran across a while back:

I had this great idea for a Dilbert comic the other day. I was reading an article that was discussing how a lot of the jobs in the US that have been outsourced to India how now been sub-outsourced to other countries. So my Dilbert idea was that the boss assigns Dilbert a project, they outsource it to India, who outsources it to Elbonia, who in turn outsources it to Dilbert’s company.

I’ve emailed Scott Adams. We’ll see if it gets published :)

Update (10 Nov 2007):

Well, after doing a bit of research, it turns out that there was a set of comic strips that dealt with outsourcing coming back to the office. It’s kind of sort of what i was thinking, but not exactly. However, since it’s probably the closest that will ever be done to my idea i’ve posted the comic strip here:

Two hydrogens are walking along a street. The first one says, “Hey! I think I lost an electron!” The second one replies, “Are you sure?” The first one then says, “Yeah, I’m POSITIVE.”

I was down visiting my parents this weekend and stumbled across this comic strip last night as I was reading the comics section of the paper. Anyone who’s been married for a while will get a kick out of it.

A month or so ago I was going through old stuff that had been sitting in boxes for years (so I could either toss it or pack it away permanently in the attic or get it out), and ran across a folder from my mission. It contained (among other things) a series of comic strips by one of the other missionaries I served with (we were never companions, but were in the same district for a while).

I scanned them all in and have posted them here.

Elder Seuf – where are you?
