My own little ZJXS webcomic

I've started my own webcomic... don't ask why - I don't know.

But, I've been reading a fair bit of xkcd.org (which when it's not rude is funny, and when it's rude, it's quite rude) and laughing more than a little, so I decided to profile pic myself in the good 'ol xkcd way. That's right, in stick figures!

Some of my students saw it and suggested creating a webcomic (thanks AM and MS). So I did. The first strip was actually drawn on a whiteboard at school, but it quickly turned into black gunk on my hand. I might put it up one day... you never know.

The first strip starts where most teachers start with a new class - at the start.

Hope you like it... I wouldn't mind getting some google money one day. :)

Listed on the front page of Google - kind of

Hi all,

I wrote a long time ago about being on the 6th page of google's search results when searching for myself. Now, I can proudly state that I feature on the first (yes, friends and countrymen people - the FIRST) page of google's results.
I need to state, to remain at least partly honest, that it is not my content, nor my luminary intellectual wit and writings which has brought about this phenomenon, rather it is the fantastic profile picture which one of my fantastic students put together, featured on the Joomla! extension K2 community page. That was quite a ramble.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so:


Take a look for yourself... that's me!

enjoy my goatee!
