The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.
I always knew DVDs had easter eggs hidden in them, so I guess software makes sense, but still, this was kinda news to me. Meet the Photoshop wizard, Merlin!
All you have to do is:
Hold down both the Alt key and the left mouse button, then move your mouse over Palate Options in the Layers window. Let go of the mouse, and Merlin appears.
Neat huh? Useful? Nah…
But hey, it’s Friday!

There’s been even more talk than usual lately among cartoonists about "free" content, and I think this recent post, "Why Are You Giving Away Content For Free?" over at Dosh Dosh explains it better than most.
A snippet:
The truth is, if you want to sell more products or services, you need to develop a reputation which exceeds your slogan, sales letter or promised benefit. Free content is a tool which helps you to develop publicity. It will eventually generate demand for services, products and premium content.
Enjoy!

I’ve been interested in tech for a long looooong time. One of my favorite memories from my childhood was my TI-99/4A computer. I think I got it for Christmas in 1983. 16K of memory, a cassette recorder for storage, that goofy keyboard layout, and I loved it.
I spent untold hours of my youth programming that thing. What a great time. I found some video of the computer in action recently on YouTube. Join me for a trip down 16K memory lane…
Video Demo
Commercial 1 – Smart Kid
Commercial 2 – Dumb Kid
Commercial 3 (Bill Cosby!)
Of course, in between programs I also played my fair share of games. Here’s some of my faves:
Munchman – My mom and I played this for hours! We had a pattern that never failed.
Car Wars – I liked my games hard, fast, and noisy!
Alpiner – This game still looks like fun!
Parsec – It took me forever to learn how to refuel.
Anyway, it’s this little computer that really got me interested in tech, and I still remember it fondly. Sigh…
