It's late o'clock hereabouts. http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/06/28/got-a-smoke-panel-4/ Nope, not a comic yet. I'm still planning on having one ready for tomorrow though. It seems like biweekly is about the right schedule... I wanted to share some pictures of my garden. It's doing pretty well after my initial failure: I went away for the weekend and left the seedlings ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/06/27/gardening/ http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/06/14/got-a-smoke-panel-3/ Well, I won't be quitting my day job any time soon. Holy schmoly that took a long time. I think I need to get rid of some of the detail and maybe ink on paper instead of the computer. I brought the tablet home from work today though. Maybe that'll ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/05/28/got-a-smoke-panel-2/ Hi folks, I went to Toronto this weekend, so I wasn't able to complete today's panel.

I'll post new comics every ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/05/18/got-a-smoke-a-webcomic-project/ A friend recently put me in touch with a Queen's student who is doing a project on renewable energy. He was wondering about the feasibility of putting a small turbine on a roof in downtown Kingston. Here was my response to him: Succinctly, I would really strongly recommend installing solar instead of ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/03/25/small-wind-vs-small-solar/ Last summer we grew beans on the balcony. They were very happy, and made a nice leafy curtain to block the morning sun. Apparently I didn't take any photos of them except for this one early on. I really enjoyed "gardening" so I decided to try making a bigger garden this ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/03/02/seeds/ This post comes to you thanks to Vic. Thanks Vic! While visiting with Steve and Seanna over the Christmas holidays, Seanna said something that got me thinking. I can't remember the context (other than that it was in a teasing sense), and I'm sure she doesn't even remember saying it, but ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/02/11/comic-books-as-instant-gratification/ My good friend Jenny came over for a visit a few weeks ago. In between going sledding and catching up we made some pear walnut muffins that turned out very well. The recipe is incredibly loosely based off a banana blueberry oatmeal recipe I got out of a book at ... http://adina.ca/wordpress/2009/01/28/pear-walnut-muffins/
