Public access TV, Moldovan spammers, cartoon graffiti, conversations overheard in elevators and the lobby of a Day’s Inn… what’s the common thread here?

Communication, of course. Trying to find the right signal-to-noise ratio. Or maybe discovering there’s no difference between signal and noise.

Whatever.  How do the tranny hackers fit into this?

They crack me up. 

The entries from 2001 & ‘02 are all about comic books. There’s no entries from 2003 or ‘04, and when you start blogging again in 2005 you don’t write about comics at all. Did something happen that was so terrible you gave up comics and almost gave up blogging forever?

Yes. I was molested by Stan Lee.
