I've been working on this stupid site for over a month... I've taken a break since x-mas, but still hoping to have the site fully good to go in about a week. I've got a few shirts available currently, and will be adding many more soon. Site still kindof under construction, of course, but in the meantime there are still some things there to buy, and show your dorkass loyalty... dorkassapparel.net

***EDIT*** just when i go live, something breaks... I think i got screwed by my host, javascript errors... I'll be updating when it looks okay again...blah

 **edit again** well screw it... I reopened the site. It looks a little funky, but it's still functional... The stupid iframe for my shop is supposed to resize automatically, but I've just set it to a static size for now til I can sort this crap out with my host. Please buy something.

New comic uh oh By dorkass on Sun, Dec 28th 08 4:47 am All right, yes, it has been a while since I've updated the comic. Holiday time is busy time, and I've been working non-stop to get the t-shirt site going... It's almost ready, I'm just trying to get some designs up currently... Anyway, latest comic. Rock.

Japanese Wagyu Beef By dorkass on Thu, Dec 25th 08 10:46 pm

Why you should shop at Costco

"Our genetically traceable cattle are raised on a diet of soybeans, wheat barley and beer, with no antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products ever used. A strictly followed diet rotation and traditional Sake massage are key factors in the development of the Wagyu’s characteristic marbling and taste."

Poor cows don't even know they're alive... They're drunk out of their minds from the time they're born. Only in Japan...

Adobe Photoshop CS4 By dorkass on Mon, Dec 22nd 08 6:12 am

Yo I just wanted to post here in case any search engines happen to have wandering helpless folks like myself who maybe just got Adobe Photoshop CS4... I just got the whole CS4 suite. It's quite nice, I love the new interface, and dreamweaver CS4's code hints are 10x better than CS3... Anyway, in Adobe Photoshop CS4, if you're having crazy stupid drawing lag like I was ( it was unusable with my wacom ) You have to turn off Vertical Sync in the advanced GPU options. 

Open options > Performance

then click Advanced Settings...

Finally, uncheck vertical sync...

Word, I know you may be thinking "Wahhh I'm a gamer, I read some forums and they said im a noob if i dont leave vertical sync on cuz cuz cuz graphics tear" You can turn it on when you're done drawing, douchebag. Vertical Sync is great, but I don't think I should need dual quad core CPUs and 8 gigs of memory to be able to draw smoothly in photoshop... 

I was going through my old files earlier... By dorkass on Wed, Dec 17th 08 5:46 pm I haven't updated in a while, I've been working on my new site, which launches hopefully later tonight or tomorow, dorkassapparel.net. I was going through my old files and found a gem I wrote up about a popular movie you may have heard of, X-Men 3: rise of the scrotefaced hollywood producers that ruin shit. Well I was pretty pissed when I saw this movie, I used to run a webcomic a few years ago, very low-profile, no big deal... Well, the gist is this; I promised myself I wouldn't do anything topical with my comic, but when I saw this movie, I had to do something, I had to get my message out there... And there you have it. My message.
