Originally this cameo was going to go to someone else, but then Vanessa wrote happy birthday on my Facebook wall on Tuesday -- so I rewrote it.  People who wish me a happy birthday are always more likely to get reader cameos... and since the joke wouldn't have worked with a dude name...

      I do my best. Technically this strip takes place prior to your wedding though in the timeline, so it presents a continuity error. 😛

        I think she can forgive that

          NO. NO FORGIVENESS.

    I know, she’s supposed to warn us before she gets a dye job (and maybe warn her hubby before a sex change) 😛

    He should just stop and leave though. Embarrassment from Lynn is her being extremely benevolent.

    Aww man i was hoping for Lynn to grab the dude by his armpits and throw him straight to the ground with full force.

      Lynn’s got a mean right cross, but she’s not a trained fighter.

      Also, the dude has done literally nothing to provoke a violent confrontation. He’s lied, and is about to get kicked out — but Lynn has no indication that he won’t go peacefully.

        All the more reason Lynn should kick his ass right then and there.

          He hasn’t left yet. There’s still time to do something boneheadedly stupid which DOES deserve a violent reaction.

          What part of “no reason to punch him” doesn’t compute?

            The whole “No reason to Punch Him” doesn’t compute. I see violence as perfect answer for this situation. We all wanna see Lynn beat the shit out of someone. It’s one of the best parts of this comic. So please give us what we the fans want is more Lynn beating the shit out of congoers who deserve it like this jackass.

            And that’s how Lynn would get arrested for assault.

            And that’s Lynn becomes quite the badass, because having jail under her belt makes people so intimidated they run from her

            Or it would just ruin her life (and by extension Megan’s – as Lynn is largely financially supporting her). That and Lynn really wouldn’t do well in prison.

    I have done almost exactly this on my smartphone with our reg system. Usually I radio security to have them watch the guy/gal in question as well. though. 🙂

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
