I know..I know….The site looks dreadful at the moment.  Give me a week or two.  The old cartoons will be up and I will get this show on the road.

I am planning to do a new cartoon every two weeks. That’s right folks.  I know I’ve been saying it for years, but this time I mean it!  More cartoons!  Look out for the first new one in about a week or so… The title is Pencilmation #3: MC Hammered.

p.s.  making a website is hard!

This weekend I helped convert a bus from diesel fuel to vegetable oil. Most of the time I spent underneath the bus getting covered in oil. My hair still smells faintly of diesel…

On a cleaner note, I’ve spent all day figuring out how to sell ringtones of the Pencilmation music. I think I’ve got it figured out… Tomorrow I will be tackling podcasting and RSS feeds. Hopefully in the next day or two I can get the new episode up. I’m dying to let you guys see it, but first I want to make sure that the site is totally functional.

The site is really coming together, and so I thought it was time to release a new Pencilmation!  Over the next couple of days I will be tweaking various aspects of the site, and then the week after that I’ll be working on another new Pencilmation. Boy it feels good to be back in the saddle!  And let me tell you guys…I’ve got so many new ideas for cartoons…just you wait….

I thought my brain was going to fall apart over the past couple weeks… I’m not so great with programming but I got through all that stuff, got the site up, and am ready to get back into doing the animation.

I’ve got another Pencilmation coming out next week and can’t wait for you guys to see it!

I was poking through some electronic trash thrown out by college students at the New School in Manhattan the other day and yes, I found a Black MacBook staring up at me.  I couldn’t believe it!  Who would throw out their MacBook!?   It wouldn’t turn on, so I skipped gleefully across town to TekServe, a computer repair store and they fixed it for $200.  The crazy thing is that I was planning on buying a MacBook in the next couple weeks.

The new Pencilmation will be out on Monday.  A dramatic romance between two young drawings, the next episode is entitled Amour Than Enough. Be prepared!

Checking Google Analytics, I have become aware today that my website traffic is assuming a fairly rapid downward slope—discouraging, to say the least.  Of course this is frustrating because I’ve hardly updated my website in the past three years.  Now I suddenly start putting some work into the thing and people are going away…boo!!  I suppose there are a lot of factors that go into how people stumble upon my website, which leads me to my current hypothesis.  It seems that I receive over half of my traffic from the website, StumbleUpon.com.  I have a sneaking suspicion that something is awry involving my ranking on the site…I would pursue this notion further, but it is too beautiful outside!  See ya!
