Communist Mutants From Space

Communist Mutants From Space, originally uploaded by willceau.

This was a game for use with a short-lived but interesting gaming system that worked in conjunction with the Atari 2600. It was a cartridge that had a port that patched to an ordinary cassette tape player. The games were on the tape cassette. Push play, and it would take a while to load into the cartridge. When it was finally done, you could play games that were more complex than what was offered on ordinary Atari cartridges. Communist Mutants was a Space Invaders/Phoenix type of game.

I saved the cover of the box, but the game is long gone.

This guy has an excellent video covering it:

The electric pencil sharpener my Father bought me while I was still in high school died today.

I still like and use wooden pencils, and I want to get another one, but it won't be electric. I'm looking around eBay for a vintage, hand-crank, American-made sharpener. One that's older than me that will outlive me. It doesn't have to have wood grain.

I was searching Google for mention of CO2 Comics. I think this site is confused.

Shriek

Shriek, originally uploaded by willceau.

Another sketchbook scribble from the primordial past that was 1986. This was done in Kohinoor Rapidograph, and I think I had doing a shrieking vampire head in mind, but I don't really recall.

This ended up appearing in Brain Dead which was a punky fanzine circa the early to mid '90s.

My favorite new pen

My favorite new pen, originally uploaded by willceau.

It's a Faber-Castell big brush pen. It has a tapered, brush-like felt tip. I use the thinner ones and Pigma's version, but this feels great doodling with.

I know I should be practicing with my Wacom tablet, but I can't let these pens go!

Depth Charge

Chris Kalnick was kind enough to send me a copy of his Depth Charge comic. It's a beautifully designed mini-comic that fits into an A2 envelope. Supposedly we are in a post print age, but I really got a charge out of holding and reading this elegant little piece.

Check out the web version at CO2 Comics here.

While you're there, have a look around. There's a lot of fun stuff there brought to you by the fellows who started Comico. Go NOW!

Thanks Chris!

After - Inside the G4

Inside the G4 with some Augmentations, originally uploaded by willceau.

What's nice about the tower design is expandability which is something the Mini (which I own) and the all-in-ones like the iMacs lack. I scavenged a number of parts and bought a few - "Frankensteining" together what to me is a new and perfectly viable work and play computer.

Before - Inside the G4

Inside the G4, originally uploaded by willceau.

I had an eMac which I loved, but after the monitor went, I promised myself that I would never get another all-in-one. My options as far as buying new looked dim. I did a little reading: spent a lot of time at lowendmac.com and decided to try a used machine.

This is my G4 as it looked when I first got it from Wegener Media. I bought it used although the folks at Wegener did a thorough job cleaning it and probably swapped out a few parts that needed replacing. I did some research, and realized that I could have a great machine for not a lot of money. This is the beginning. I will post other pictures of the parts I replaced.
