A little late on this posting. But today’s the day! ComiXology had a podcast with Rich Starking’s on Elephantmen #11 which was very interesting. I’m looking forward to them starting up again.

Good looking week this week! ComiXology is featuring a podcast on Captain Carrot with Scott Shaw and Bill Morrison. I really want the Runaways Zombie variant cover if I can find it. And Jeff Smith’s Shazam looks great.

When I tried to print thirty separate Word documents at school today, I found that the printer I chose to send my document to was not working – and all that time I spent printing from Word seemed wasted. Ugh.

When  you print on OS X, it opens up a printer queue that lists the files you are printing. If the printer is not working, the files just sit there in the list, teasing you. First, I thought that maybe I could find where those files were stored. But then I thought, hey, maybe I can drag them to another printer queue…yes! You can drag printed files from one printer queue (in this case, the one that wasn’t working) into another printer queue, and it will print! No re-printing necessary.

This also led me to figure out a trick to printing secured PDFs that force you to print to the default printer (and not to a PDF writer) so I can read and highlight the text on my computer, and not print it out. (I leave it to you to figure out how I do that, as I’m fairly certain it breaks a user agreement or two.) Thanks, Apple!

It’s a big week this week! Break out the mortgage!

Short and sweet this week:

Wil Shipley has an excellent post on Apple and it’s recent anti-consumer business decisions. I hope they read it. (thanks to dfbills for the tip)

dfbills.com posted a tutorial for how to get an image and html/css into your iPhone signature.  It worked perfectly me for me the first try. Brilliant!

It’s a long list this week. I’m picking up the Beyond Barrows mini-series in preparation for the upcoming 30 Days of Night movie. The Captain America Trade Paperback looks like a great run with Ed Brubaker so I’m going to check that out. I picked up The Umbrella Academy on free comic book day, and I guess it worked, because I’m going to check out their new mini-series.

I’m going to keep updating this post with links for the different iPhone app management sites’ links to comixology.com’s iPhone interface.
