Groonkly Bits

It’s happened before.

It’ll happen again.

Gods help you if you’re not watching the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica. I hear random factions of The Internet may be unsatisfied with what they’re getting. I disagree with The Internet. With the exception of one episode, I’ve enjoyed the frak out of the final archival tapes.

If you’re more than a year behind, I can’t help you. If you, like me, wait with bated breath for the end of season four, the 21st century answer to missed shows has your backs. Hulu will beam BSG love into your personal computing devices.

But enough about that. Let’s talk splash pages. I won’t bore you with the back story on how long it took me to settle on an angle for this theme. I’ll only say that the minute the comics angle entered my brain, everything fell into place.

This splash will have only a few days showing in it’s full HTML glory. A certain movie release has asked to temporarily bump any small screen admiration off its pedestal for a short time.

This time last year, I had the idea of creating the Other Me. The plan was to work it out and show off my new creativity at Dragon Con 2008. Problem was, I could not figure out how to effectively make button eyes. Glasses? Beer Goggles from Spencer’s painted black with little button holes drilled around the edges? Visiting my very own Other Mother and agreeing to her contract?

Nothing clicked.

I figured what I *can* do is amateur lettering and entrance web site graphics(aka splash pages). And so you have this prototype graphic that (currently) greets your eyes.
