Important Survey Thing

Let me preface this post by stating, for the record, that I am in no way affiliated with the LEGO Group, I have never been affiliated with the LEGO Group, and I will probably never be affiliated with the LEGO Group.

Now that that’s out of the way, the LEGO Group is running a fan survey, trying to gather information on LEGO fans’ participation in LEGO-related sites and fan organizations on the web, and and non-LEGO-related social media like Facebook and Twitter. As a founding member of the BCN, I would like very much if the Brick Comic Network was included as an option in the next survey they do like this, rather than being something you have to put in the “Other” box.

So take the survey, mention the BCN, BES, and any other brick-related comics you read. There’s a whole bunch of LEGO comics out there, and clearly you people like what you’re reading. We would like for the LEGO group to acknowledge our existence.

An Awesome (but slightly wrong) Statistic

Check this out:

That’s from my Sitemeter statistics. I just passed one million total page views on this site!

Now, these stats are a little off. There have been long stretches during the last five years where, for various reasons, the sitemeter code wasn’t anywhere on my site (or was absent from some pages) and therefore not tracking page views. So technically I should have a little more. But who cares? I think a million page views is pretty darn neat.

That Other Thing I Did

Remember Breakin? If you don’t, you should check it out. If you do, I have good news! GP and I are at it again, picking up right where we left off.

Read the newest update here. If you’re new to Breakin, you might want to start at the beginning. If you’re confused, I recommend reading MS Paint Adventures, particularly the Midnight Crew Intermission or just Problem Sleuth.

(wow, that was quite a barrage of links)

Regarding the ad to the left, it’s gone for now and it might not be coming back. I haven’t decided. At the moment I’m just tired of looking at the random crap that gets displayed on it.

Computer Problems

Woops, experiencing technical issues. You know how most people have a backup plan, and some people even have a backup plan for their backup plan? Well I have two backup computers and all three of my computers died on me the other day. I’m still not 100% certain I have everything back to normal (yet) but as of now, it’s at least all in working order. Today’s strip will be up a little later. My apologies for my tardiness, it couldn’t be helped.

Edit: The strip is up, but as I was starting the assembly process, my computer experienced an abrupt BSOD. Definitely not a good sign. I’ll deal with this later.

In other news, you may have noticed that the top navigation has changed. There’s now an Archives page, which is sorted by date instead of by strip number, but I’m working on that. There’s a Contact page (which just has my email address on it, but I’ll add stuff to it later probably) and content on the Links page. I’m kind of embarrassed about how long it took me to figure out how to do all this stuff in comicpress/wordpress.

And finally, I did a guest strip for the comic Zombie Outbrick, which was posted yesterday. Read it here.

Urban Dictionary

I should not be allowed to look up any part of my name in Urban Dictionary. These are copy-pasted, so forgive the grammar.

Dave:

1. A term used to refer to the coolest person in a group.

2. Beloved; The Model of Perfect

3. Everyone knows a Dave. Daves are, as a rule, people to ask about something, whether it be plumbing, horseracing, astronomy or computers.

4. Cute, intelligent, never judging, the type of person that will always end up forgiving you no matter what. Thoughtful, charming, lovable, romantic – hes everything a girl could ever want. He never lets anything get him down and always finds positives in the most un-positive situations. Has the sweetest smile and most gorgeous eyes, just thinking about him puts a smile on your face. The one person that means so much to you that you can’t imagine life without him.

Alternately, David:

1. A formidable foe to normal people. intelligent, strong forceful. a weird hybrid of a bully and a nerd.

2. a very hot guy usually nice and very funny

3. A person who is hecka cool or awesome. Everyone else is nothing compared to a David.

4. One who is a BAD ASS MOTHA FUCKA. This person is often very good looking and usually quite daring.

5. A Person with really great hair, that you just want to take a nap in it; A person who generally has great taste in music and is loved my everyone, most of the time.

Paul (this is my middle name):

1. Put simply, it is the greatest name to grace the Earth. Seriously. It is the best name in existance.

2. a guy that is sweet, cool, handsome, athletic, cute, nice, and thoughtful.

3. Big Advantage down below

Rapp:

1. A word or term used to refer as a quick “rapid” ride on your motorcycle.

2. Poor bastard

The conclusion I’ve drawn from all this is I need to get a motorcycle, I have a large penis, and someone wants to sleep in my hair?
