Today’s Garfield strip…. awwwwwwwwwwwwww… hehehehe…. =D
As I’m certain I’ve mentioned a good bazillion times before, I read a lot of e-comics, and own a terribly large load of them. Most of my e-comics are in CBZ/CBR formats due to my pickiness regarding image quality, and I do have a small number of PDF ones too.
For a very long time I was using CDisplay to view / read comics. A light and small app that basically does nothing but displaying the images inside a CBZ/CBR archive. Nothing else. CDisplay is currently the most popular and widely used tool for viewing e-comics, and the few other more or less well known apps for the purpose are pretty much exactly the same. Nothing kool really. And if if wasn’t for my curious nature I’d probably still be using the boring app, except, well, it bored the heavens out of me and I decided to finally find a replacement.
After a great deal of digging and testing of nearly all the available tools, I can now say with confidence that I’ve found the koolest comic viewing application currently in existence, and it’s called ComicRack. You could say that ComicRack is something like iTunes for e-comics. It allows you to create an e-comics library with lists and categories, and can show a very neat preview of each comic’s cover. And that’s just the beginning… there’s tons of awesomely useful features to explore, and with all of that, the app is still a free one. So, well, safe to say that I’m totally in love with ComicRack now. So e-comic-ies… check it out! 😉
A couple of nice cartoons I bumped into a few times today and yesterday.

Today’s share of LOLz =D :
Nowadays, it seems that there are more weblogs on the net than anything else. Weblogs of all sorts, for all topics and purposes, with all the various looks and designs that they have. Or.. do they? Well, not really! Honestly it seems most weblogs these days are somehow the same, design-wise, that is. Blog templates are pretty repetitious, and well maybe I’m a bit of a visual person, but I would like it better if the text and the looks have something to do with each other… if the blog is supposedly the reflection of the persons mind, isn’t it a good idea if the blog template is too? At least to some extent? Anyhow, I’ve had a lot of people telling me that my weblog looks somewhat “unusual” or “different than what’s out there”. Well, if you think my blog is different, wait till you see the new template of Genox.ch! Just check it out… now this is what I call difference. =)
Is any of you guys reading this blog into comic books? Well, I am! I can’t say that I’m reading them all the time, but every once in a while I just like to drown myself in some good comics. That being said, lately I came across a 3 volume comic set of a certain genre that I don’t read just thaaaat often. But hey, I found these ones pretty interesting! The comics are called “Lazarus”, and they’re about a guy who is on the run after a horrible experience… it’s a bit of a painful and horror-like story, created by Diego Cortes and Juan E. Ferreyra. So if you’re into comic books, check this one out.
On yet another completely different note, I just put together an FLV demo video collection in my gallery [viewable on the web]. The collection, which is not that large yet, is mainly for “demonstration” purposes. The idea was basically handed to me by some of the folk attending the demoshows, saying that it would be nice to have an easy/quick way of showing what you mean by “demos” when you’re talking to somebody about them. Specially if it’s such that you don’t have to search YouTube for some good demos, when you don’t know many names! So there ye go! =) And yes, I am planning on expanding the collection, and do drop me a line if you have some videos to add to this.
