I’ve added a Twitter link to the sidebar. Follow my tweets if you like. I am hoping to use this to relay comic progress updates, and sneak peaks to regular readers. Mostly it will be me complaining about procrastinating.

If you are reading this on Livejournal, I have some badish news. The Wordpress plugin that I use to cross post to LJ (LJXP) doesn’t work well with the newest version of Wordpress. As you may have noticed, it double posts all the time and I have to go in and manually delete the extras. It’s very frustrating and is ruining the LJ experience for me.

I really value everyone that discovered this site on LJ and all the great comments I get. I do not want to lose that. Until I figure out a better solution, please befriend the LJ Syndication Feed and comment HERE on the site (not the LJ feed, since I won’t be notified).  You can also add the plain old RSS feed to your feed reader of choice.

Don’t remove HijinksComic from your LJ friends, since I am going to try and find a better solution. LJ Readers, feel free to comment on this post on Livejournal and share any thoughts.

I know this is old, but it pops up from time to time. Feast your optics on “When rappers get a hold of Powerpoint.”

Here are a few of my favs from the set:

Just got an email from Jonathan Coulton about a concert in San Francisco that will be filmed for a live DVD. All the best stuff is happening in San Francisco. I’m posting this because I wholeheartedly support the proliferation of JoCo’s musical message of robots parts, mathmatics and self destructive squid love. If you’re in SanFran make sure to check out the show. I will definitely be picking up the DVD.

(Read on for the secret message from JoCo.)

Fake Steve is twittering live from the Macworld San Francisco Keynote.

ARS’s liveblog seems to be more fuctional than others.

Potentially thanks to my plee for your link affections in the last post, HE reader and confirmed bad ass,  Ty has submitted The Omega Directive to Digg.

If you’re a Digger, please help support the comic with your Diggs, and clicks and loves. Spread the word and I will reward you with more delicious desktop wallpapers. How about a desktop with the Omega Directive symbol looming over the city?

 Macworld San Francisco is next week. I’ve learned from years of Apple fandom to aim for the middle with my predictions. Take every rumor on the internet, rate them from 1-10 on how bad you want them, then throw out everything above a 7. Those will be saved for Xmas or next year.

I bet we get:

• iphone SDK + apps already available from certain developers through iTunes
• iTunes Rentals
• Updated Macbook Pro line, but not sub notebook. Maybe a 13″ Macbook sized MBP. Possibly solid state.
• 16GB iPhone, but no 3g and no 2nd gen iPhone
• 32GB iTouch
• No Classic or Nano updates
• And I think we will get a true “One more thing” this time. Something we aren’t expecting at all. Possibly a new focus for the Apple TV.

Please post your predictions and speculations in the comments.

In case you missed it the first time around, here’s the “iPhantom Zone” iPhone wallpaper from this comic. You can see it in action here, and download it by clicking the image below.

On the house.

Steampunk Justice League (coolest thing I’ve seen all day)

There is nothing funny about this guy’s face (heartbreaking)

From the Giz: Teen Strangles Father with Gamepad Cable

One can only assume the murder weapon was a Wiimote + Nunchuck combo. As soon as I read that I thought of this comic:

Then everyone had the same thought. A commenter on Gizmodo linked to the aforementioned comic (Hi, Giz readers. Thanks for checking out the comic!), then  Josh IM’ed me to make sure I knew my part in the almost-slaying.

I guess if this becomes a trend we can assume that Rock Band and all its wires are inherently more dangerous than Guitar Hero III.
