January 12th, 2009: Bill emailed me something he'd made using service I've never heard of called "Xtranormal", which apparently is fed text and spits out a movie via some stock characters and text-to-speech. The result when applied to yesterday's comic is hilarious and surreal. It's like watching robots fall down the stairs!

GUESS WHAT JUST CAME OUT: IT'S MY NEW BOOK!! If you've ever wondered what you'd do if you were stranded in the past, wonder no longer! With HOW TO INVENT EVERYTHING, you'll reinvent civilization from scratch, no matter what time period you're in. You'll become the single most influential, decisive, and important person ever born. You'll make history...

...better.

Here's the trailer!

One year ago today: i looked up what people call paris hilton ("socialite" seemed a bit imprecise) and wikipedia calls her a "celebutante"! now there is a word for you!
