 | Feb 12, 2003 - I'm losing momentum on these updates... | Spitfire  | 
| | Oops! I posted yesterday's update without uploading all of the content, so if you noticed that some of the links weren't working, go back and try them now and
I think that you will be pleasantly surprised.
If you've got some time to spare, swing by Demoni.ca to see soul_d's anual
year-in-review update. We scored a whooping -1.5 with mad props to our new comics - but negative props to our lack of a link to Soul_D Online. Oh well,
guess you can't win them all.
I didn't really have that much to say today - other than that there is a new comic today by none other than
Dog Pound. This has exhausted my comic supply, so if you guys don't start sending in some more I'll be forced to draw
them myself!!

 | Feb 11, 2003 - Phun with VPNs - is that an oxymoron? | Spitfire  | 
| | Well, the RBlords network is now officially connected to the Powersource network
once again via VPN. What does this mean for you guys? Absolutely nothing. Why am I even mentioning it then? I guess because I'm a sad and
lonely man with nothing better to talk about and hoped that some fellow geek would find it interesting. What, you don't? Bah!!
Oh well - I'm sure the only reason my readers even visit this site is because of the pictures of strippers and
bikini powerpoint presentations. Well,in the interest of science I will give you something to think about today.
 Invisible Coat?!?
|
Now tell me honestly - how many of you have toyed with the idea of creating an invisible coat? With countless theories
abound which include special diamond coated sheets which refract light *around* your own body, no scientist will tell you that
the ability to wear an invisibility coat is entirely impossible - but the manufacturing of such a device is still, perhaps, a long way off.
Well - professor Susumu Tachi of Toyko is at least trying (see picture on the left). Although his invention is a bit impracticle for mobile use, you have
to admit the idea is appealing. Especially when they mention the uses this technique might have in medical practices. Click on the picture on the left to read
the full article, where you can also view a video of the device in use (click on the smaller photo on the left of the article).

Now that you've had a chance to get your brain thinking, take a stab at understanding _SPACE_'s new comic for rblords. It should
be noted that I hounded her until she eventually submitted, and I don't think that she was very happy about the whole ordeal. I believe that the aristry put into the comic reveals the
anger that she was feeling for me at that moment in time. Beautiful stuff.
Valentine's day is coming up, you can expect an RBlords exclusive report to celebrate it. At least I think you can - if I don't forget. That's all for now!

 | Jan 30, 2003 - Horry crap! Now that is how you support your favorite website! | Spitfire  | 
| | Ok, to all you girls out there I'd like you to follow the example of this dedicated rblords fan. Baring your
naked breasts is an excellent and effective way to show your support for the website. Keep 'em coming.
Oh yes, and of course there is new comic today.
| |
 | Jan 29, 2003 - Let's talk about me today... | Spitfire  | 
| | This is crazy! RBlords has, over the past month, exploded into a colossal mass of incoherent regularly-updated
ramblings, a surge of new comics,
and generally enough mindless drivel to power a Ukranian submarine into the 25th century. I am so impressed!
And you bet - there's a new comic today. And many more to come. So if you are wondering
why I have not posted your comic yet, chances are it will be very soon. Please feel free to send in mindless ramblings of your own as well, if you
feel the need to update rblords. Keep in mind our policy of "No Scat Porn" still stands. I'm still waiting for Audiophile to
enlighten us with an update about his trip - or just talk about boobs. Whatever, it's all good.
What's new in my life you ask? Well, having finally recovered financially from xmas (poor planning on my part) I'm trying to take advantage of this
cold end of winter by pinching pennies and paying off as much debt as possible by the time May rolls along.

I do this every year because I find I'm just
not motivated to do anything in the latter part of winter, so I'd might as well pay off some bills. It's also a good pre-cursor to camping and partying like
mad all summer, which always ends up costing more than I plan! All in good fun though, of course...although every summer it seems as though I've got to
buy one more toy for myself. It started 3 years ago with my Supra (which is no more), the next summer it was the boat and the stereo, this past summer it was
my house, and this summer I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy a nice daily-driver. I've got my heart set on a little 1/4 ton truck, but we'll see what
fortune brings me.
Other plans for the summer? Maybe planting some grass in the backyard, finishing the deck, pooring a sidewalk alongside my house and possibly redoing the
padio while I'm at it. This could be interesting as I've never mixed/poured cement before but I hear it's really not all that expensive if you do it yourself, and I do know
a couple people who claim to be quite good at it. Of course we can't forget the hot tub party this summer, which mrp has once
again suggested he may finally join. This year I have purchased a pool table to set outside ala Drew Carey for some added fun/destruction.
And that's about it. If you were looking for some flashy content I guess you're out of luck for today...hmmm, actually you'd better check out this monster chainsaw
powered by a harley V-Twin motor! There, that should keep you happy for awhile!
PS - Nobody responded to the lyrics quiz I proposed a couple updates back. They were from "Venice is Sinking"
by Spirit of the West - if anyone was curious!

 | Jan 27, 2003 - Does anyone even read these stupid titles?!? | Spitfire  | 
| | So....Oakland got stomped last night at Superbowl 37... I guess the
streak had to come to an end some time, much to the regret of many Raiders fans out there. C-Hump from
Demoni.ca seems thrilled with the outcome, although this opinion is apparently
not endorced by the rest of the Wascana gang :P
Everybody remember to drop JayB a line today, seeing as how it is his 33rd birthday and all.
JayB has been a good friend of mine ever since we realized we shared a similar love for accounting
principles while enrolled in CST.
Audiophile is back in town, and has submitted a comic so go
check in out. I'm sure we will see an update from him in the future. I also have the next installment of !zebu!'s comic
saga to post, as well as MANY other comics that have been submitted. Don't worry folks, I'll post them all - it'll just take awhile :). And keep drawing them!!
And for all of you folks following the Lord of the Rings, I have some bad news for you.
That's it today - I'm sure you didn't want to listen to me blab anyway. G'day!

 | Jan 24, 2003 - The old come here to kiss their dead... | Spitfire  | 
| | If somebody can guess where that title quote comes from (without cheating and looking it up on the net), then good for you :P
Some good lyrics in that song...
Well now, I suppose I forgot to mention it in my last update but Saskatoon (RBlords hometown) has finally been hit my
winter. Until recently we were having to import iceblocks from the yukon in order to maintain repairs on our melting igloos. This,
as you can imagine, can get incredibly expensive - and caused some people to downright give up and buy a new igloo - such as __SPACE__,
who purchased a new one just recently. That's right, she's still alive so go visit her site, and
remember to visit it religiously like I do.

Speaking of affiliated sites, somebody had better call the suck police on mrp for failing to provide
an entertaining page on pwrsrc.net for quite sometime. I'd work him over myself, if he didn't live all the way down
in sunny San Jose. Oh yeah, and if he weren't an invincible ninja.
I realize that I haven't posted a live-feed webcam yet, but after second thought I don't think that I will. Why? Because it would be incessently boring for anyone willing to waste their time to watch
it. However I am still considering a cam portal, so I'm expecting all of you avid-rblords readers to aquire webcams and set them up to be hosted on this prestigious site of mine. Boo-yeah!
For those of you who know Kujo, he will be back in Saskatoon on the weekend of the 15th. Wow, I'm just
full of interesting news today! Like, I bet you didn't know that you can print your own
organs using biological matter in your inkjet printer, instead of conventional ink. Oh don't act so surprised, we're sending mokeys to the moon for fuck sake. |
Click on the wonderful story-book covers above to view the full list in all their splendor.
Oh, I almost forgot - there is a new comic today. Also tonight is
the big party to celebrate the return of Audiophile, hope to see
ya'll there.
