19 days left until Christmas…<\/p>\n

Didn’t really do anything today, except go to work, which was exhausting.\u00a0 And now I’ll probably go to bed early since I’m… well… exhausted.\u00a0 But brownies are in the oven, so I suppose I have to wait around until those are done so I can have one.<\/p>\n

I changed Hannifin World<\/a> so that you can only view one comic at a time.\u00a0 For some reason viewing more than one on a page seemed cluttered to me, while only being able to view one at a time kind of makes each particular comic the center of attention, kind of “frames” it.\u00a0 Which I guess is what a lot of webcomics do.\u00a0 Some kind of weird psychology-of-humor property behind it perhaps?\u00a0 If you “frame” a joke as a single entity, it will seem funnier than if it is seen as only a part of a collection of jokes.\u00a0 If it’s in a collection, there’s more of a chance one will compare the jokes, and not give some jokes much attention.<\/p>\n

Also, on a completely different note, I really hate the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, where they build new houses for people who they think deserve them and then film them as they cry when given a new house.\u00a0 To me, it seems to put too much importance on material items, while at the same time trying to spread the message that they’re not important.\u00a0 It’s like Oprah sharing a sob story with a poor person and then flying her personal jet somewhere.\u00a0 Hypocritical.\u00a0 Annoying.\u00a0 But I guess when a network is offering a free house, who cares?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
