Windows Live Writer Blogging Silliness

Kep! — Thu, 28 May 2009 18:10:09 +0000

I’m in the process of testing Windows Live Writer this week and I’m getting all sorts of weird x-posting. Please forgive multiple hits as they come through…it’s not on purpose and I’ll get it under control. Really. I promise.

OY! The upgrade of the unloved blog begins

Kep! — Wed, 13 May 2009 20:11:22 +0000

Realizing that I use this blog about as much as I use my wife’s hairspray I am still undergoing the process of an upgrade, retooling and all around make-usefulling (?!?) of this thingie. You have been warned.

My dignified look.

Photomemeo, Not New York ComicCon, and Why Can’t I keep this Blog Flying

Sigh. I seem to be absolutely the worst blogger in the world. Origionally this was supoposed to serve as a portfolio for my comic book work, however I have utterly failed to write here as I do other things…like comic books. It’s really a brutal cycle. That siad, i promise to get better as I have a lot of new and wonderful things to share with you…yes, I mean you.

First off is the all too wonderful tool Photomemo which creates a simple place to upload photos directly from your cellphone and have them post instantly. What a fun way to go! I have Sprint, which anyone who has it will tell you TERRIBLE for photoblogging. However, a bit of GMail Mobile magic and Photomemo and POOF I’m rock’n likes it’s 2006. Off to the right of this very page the photos will pop up as i take them and also link back to the real photo spread at Photomemo. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with this, but it seems like a wonderfully powerful tool with more applications than taking snaps of my wife and kids. Thanks to MakeUseOf.com for turning me on to this in one of their fantastic Cool Websites featues — if you’re not checking out this site, treat yourself, it’s a lot of fun!

New york ComicCon. Double sigh. Another con i was supposed to be at but had to bail out of at the last minute. My incredibly selfish wife and kids all needed glasses (yes, at the same time). Little bastards. How DARE they want to see. Feh!

More to come very soon. I have a very interesting problem in that I have a new comic ready to go except no where to publish it…so it may become the main feature here for a bit. Stay tuned.

Baltimore Comic Con

It’s official, i’m going. surprised me too, but several things came together at once to make it all possible, so off i go to the harbor to press flesh with the sequential writers, artists and geeks of the world. HEAR ME ROAR!

If you’re planning on being there, pop by booth 118 and say “HI!”…it’s not my booth, but the folks at “Fist of Justice” and “Warmageddeon” are such fine folks, you should say hi to them on principle. And, perhaps, I’ll be around the corner doing card trick or two. FUN!

WORDY BASTARD is officially launched!!!

At last! The migration to new servers is done! After the fiasco that has been my last host, I am now proudly hosting this blog (and others) on DREAMHOST…HOORAY! Mail, though exactly the same to you, is completely different on this end as I have gone over to the dark side and now run all my mail through Google Aps…what a DREAM that is! While I’ve been an Outlook user for years, the gmail interface (once properly tweaked) is SO much better…and the calendar is balls!

Ok, so that’s the end of that beginning. Expect to see scripts, logos, comic book goodness and brand new reviews shortly (HELLO GAMES!).

Welcome to the Bastard.

It’s Happening…THE MIGRATION IS ON!

Kep! — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:29:43 +0000

At last, after shooting all the ducks standing outside on the row, I’m beginning the migration of site, wit and portfolio…there are many, many things to come as well…but this is the beginning. You’ve been warned.

Jim Keplinger is a Wordy Bastard!

And the new, improved and much loved blog / portfolio is coming soon!
