I have followed Penny Arcade for quite sometime now. It’s amazing to see just how far those two guys have come, from a simply drawn strip about video games and violence with barely a note on their part to a full-time job and a site filled with news, reviews, and merchandising. Having bore witness to much of this growth, it almost gives me a sense of pride to announce that Kara, Mike’s wife, just had a baby boy. Rather fittingly, they named him Gabriel.

pesky parallels presidential politics
Mac over at pesky’apostrophe has put together a fine comparison of the presidential candidates based on *GASP* the issues. Each entry deals with a different area, with the latest being Bush and Kerry’s stance on Veterans and the military. They are even available in PDF format for those inclined towards more printable copies.
While it does lean towards Kerry, Mac has kept it fairly clean and given credit (on the few occasions) where Bush so deserves. For once, this appears to be an honest-to-goodness attempt at contrasting the real issues at stake here – not who did what back in 1972. I haven’t gone through all of it, but it appears to be an excellent place to start for people looking to become more informed.
