Webcomics Wednesday: Not this week
May 28th, 2010I don’t know if it was my mood or just a bad week for webcomics, but there weren’t enough candidates to warrant a post this week. Maybe next week. Even though I follow a couple of dozen webcomics, I seem to keep posting the same cartoonists’ work over and over again (Toothpaste for Dinner, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, xkcd, Lulu Eightball, Matt Bors, Big Fat Whale, Cyanide and Happiness, etc.).
If anyone would like to suggest some new cartoonists, the input would be greatly appreciated.
Rollin’ 60’s: Nazi meth gang in my neighborhood?
May 28th, 2010
These tags have been appearing in my neighborhood over the last week or so. My best guess is that it’s either an Aryan meth gang, or some toothless white kid in a wifebeater who wants everyone to think there’s a Nazi meth gang operating in the ‘hood. All three are within a city block of one another and would create a nearly straight line when plotted on a map.
Input from grafitti artists and/or experts on Nazi meth gangs would be appreciated. Note the tag’s design evolution, as well as mixed use of apostrophes and misspelling of “sixties”.
Apparently empty house on Union Street, between 22nd and 23rd
Wall in alley connecting Union and Colhoun
Building in Kovacs parking lot on Colhoun, near 22nd

Dan schools us on eviction in 15 steps…
May 28th, 2010My buddy Dan sent this commentary regarding an earlier post. I yakked about the sadness inherent in seeing a household’s contents turned out onto the berm (hence the image). Click past the jump to read a landlord’s fifteen-step guide to getting rid of your tenants. Also, keep in mind that Dan isn’t known for his landlordly compassion. Case in point, Step 13:
13) Hound them. Make phone calls, do skip traces, internet searches, whatever it takes. Get that judgment satisfied and make them cry.

Prof. Dan: "Time to go, deadbeats."
Dan Sez:
While eviction is never pleasant, it should be noted that both parties in the matter are equally inconvenienced. The landlord doesn’t have his rent money and the debtors/tenants have to move. Ultimately, the process comes down to 15 steps:
1) The tenant refuses or otherwise shirks to pay the rent.
2) A period of time passes as the landlord endeavors to give the tenant the “benefit of the doubt,” assuming that promises made will result in cash in hand. During this time, shared utilities (should this situation exist) are still being used and bills are accruing for the landlord with no offsetting remuneration.
3) The landlord gets fed up and sues the tenant/s in civil court, paying the 100 dollar filing fee and 20 dollar service fee in order to remove the non-paying resident/s.
4) Time passes, bills accrue.

TIM clock is both useless and wonderful
May 18th, 2010
Via Boing Boing, here’s the TIM (Time Is Money) clock. The inventor claims to have been inspired after enduring mandatory four-hour meetings. That’s nothing. I used to work for an IT training organization which had two week-long meetings per year, mainly to justify our managers’ existence. That’s two weeks a year listening to lower management read upper management’s email out loud. At the end of each week we’d have a “team-building” exercise which included:
- Human foozball
- Bowling
- Laser tag
- Go-cart racing
The other fifty weeks of the year management shoved their hands back down their pants and fantasized about the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award. I shit you not. Think of the cell phone company you least want service from and you’ve probably guessed my former employer’s identity.
