Watchmen Poster

Found this poster, been writing about Watchmen a lot over at Your Comic Relief. Not one, but two posts in the past two days. The first post is what I found positive about it, and the second is what others found to be negative about it. I am particularly proud of the second post, and I think you should check it out. Possibly another one tomorrow with some art/pictures, and then a fourth in the future maybe there or here about the Watchmen game for the 360.

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Your Comic Relief has a comic related thanksgiving post up. I'm going to be taking the rest of the day off after writing that though. Tomorrow though I plan to take on Darren Rowse, the problogger himself, so make sure to check back.

Thoughts On Blogging

Blogging is something I that enjoy quite a bit. I don't make money from it, nor do I intend to; I know those Adsense banners are up there, but they function as more of a real-time google analytics for me rather than a functional money source. I run three blogs currently, although I have tried getting into a number of topics. Right now I run Your Comic Relief and Online Fencing Coach in addition to this one. In the past I have had a haphazard approcach to updating, a few here, a few there, nothing really regular. This one has been the least regular of all, and I simply put stuff up here when it strikes me, although I have resolved to update this more as well. I read several blogs about blogging, the most prominant of them being Problogger.
In the past I have had an inconsistant update schedule because of college etc, I'd get swamped, and get behind on updating or reading comics (the source material for Your Comic Relief), and then abandon the whole idea alltogether for some period of time before picking it up again. However, now with a job I'm starting to update with a greater frequency, although, as I work two jobs, one at a flower shop, and the other coaching fencing (and I'm going to start volunteer coaching at a high school in the near future as well), I generally get home around 10:30, write some posts, and then crash. The message here is that, while I have a less variability from day to day, I also seem to have more work every day, and blogging has become something of a release. Generally during the day I end up communicating to the outside world via Twitter. I've had that floating around in my head today, and it feels good to get it down on 'paper.' Hopefully I won't get too burned out with the blogging anytime soon.

Chocolate Cake

So, via Twitter, something that I've come to enjoy recently, I found this. What a terrible terrible terrible place to find a chocolate cake. This might become my new hobby though. Yes, I am trying to distract myself from this takehome biochem exam. No, it's not working. I want to have 2 more problems done before I sleep, which is a tall order. Speaking of twitter, add me as a friend!

Hello

So, I set this up in March as a sort of personal outlet. As I said previously, I run several blogs, but everything has been dropped recently, as I am graduating from university with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry, in 8 days! I will hopefully use this to detail my journey into the real world. I might take my comic blog to send some initial traffic this way, but we'll see.
Today I took an exam, fixed my laptop, purchased a photoframe for the graduation gift I got my girlfriend, picked up a camera charger, and then got to work, doing some last minute assignments for biochem, and now I'm working on my biochem takehome exam. Is anyone out there in a similar situation?

Initial Post

First off, hello cyberspace. My name is Tim H, and this is my blog. I run a small assortment of blogs, the most successful of which is Your Comic Relief, however unfortunately I left it alone for a month due to stress, and am now attempting to recapture my audience, which, while difficult, is actually easier than the first time. Similar to going to the gym, something else I haven't done in a long time; it is easier to regain muscle mass than to gain it the first time. I am also playing around with Hub Pages, where I post about science, but I'm fairly sure that's just a closed community, and because many of the posters there are there to put up ads and earn money, I don't feel anyone was actually reading the posts to really enjoy them, although I will continue for a bit, to see what happens. I also get the feeling over there that nobody from outside the Hub Pages community is viewing them, or even if they are able to. A similar thing can be said for the first blog I ran, over at Gamespot. Except there nobody wants to read what anyone else has to say, and it seems to be mostly a bunch of early/pre-teens who have nothing better to do than flame message board. As you can see, I have a few, very focused projects going on, but my problem is I have a very wide range of interests. Hence this one was born. I plan to use this to rant, link, promote my better work, and basically do what I will with.
