If you’ve been following The Experiment you know that HijiNKS Ensue is now my full time job. Thus I am at least mildly interested in making a full time living from this endeavor.

To further that end I have (finally) launched my donation incentives site “The HijiNKS Ensue Vault of Secret Awesome.“

Every donation will get you access to:

• Desktop Wallpapers
  (New Desktops Each Month!)
• Behind the Scenes Art
  and Blog Entries
• Works in Progress
• Original Sketches/ Concept Art
• Exclusive Audio & Video
• Contests and Giveaways

If you have already donated you’ll be getting an email with a password to access The Vault. Also, considering the month’s almost over I’ll be using the same password from now through July.

I’ve posted a few cool behind the scenes things on the vault, as well as desktops, and will be adding to it all through out the month. If you have ideas for Vault content feel free to drop me a line.

You can learn more about how Donations fit into the HijiNKS Ensue Experiment here on the new Donations Page.

If you enjoy any part of HijiNKS Ensue (the comic, the blog, the forum, the podcast or the videos) and you want to show your support, please consider donating through Paypal.

I’m sure we’ll be live streaming again on Ustream.tv.

This may be a Joshless episode.

Let the “Male Sack” questions fly!

Free video streaming by Ustream

It seems the video from the party IS on Ustream, just not in an official capacity. You can view it now, but I can’t save it or see it in my dashboard. It’s magic, so watch it while you can.

I’ve emailed them, but I dont expect a response.

Since today’s comic is going to be super late, I thought I would test out live streaming the creation of said comic.  You can watch the stream here.

HijiNKS Ensue was mentioned on the most recent Tech Snark Podcast. They were talking about Jesus Phone 3G and brought up “A Fistful of Joshes” around minute 20:40.

If you are looking for something to fill the void between HE Podcasts, give Tech Snark a try. It’s like the HE Podcast if it were more focused on technology and also hosted by hot girls.

Thanks to Carolyn and the crew at Pink Ninja for supporting HE.

Comic Update:
Saturday was spent planning for the party and subsequently enjoying said party with the Fancy Bastards via Ustream.TV, and I took off Sunday for Father’s day to spend some time with the family so the comic won’t be up until Monday afternoon.

You will, however, have Podcast #17 to accompany you on your Monday morning commute. I’ll have it uploaded  (probably) before midnight central.

As I mentioned, we’ll be doing our first video broadcast tonight via Ustream.tv (www.Ustream.tv/hijinksensue)

Starting around 6pm(ish) central time we’ll be broadcast the recording of HijiNKS Ensue Podcast #17. 

Please log in to the chat to let us know if it works (the video is good, the audio is working, etc). If this works out, and you guys like it we’ll make it a regular thing.

After the Podcast is over, we’ll be streaming the rest of the party. Basically I’m going to sit the laptop on the counter and leave it running all night. There’s a chat room with the videocast, but I can’t promise someone will be paying attention to it all night.

This time I plan to record (archive) the podcast on Ustream, but the audio version will still be available as always.

I hope to see at least a few Fancy Bastards tuning in for the show and the party.

Me and Josh tested out Ustream.TV tonight. We seem to have figured out how to record the podcast and simulcast video on Ustream. Looks like we’ll be broadcasting the video feed of the podcast on tomorrow.

You’ll be able to watch us record it live and unedited and ask questions and chat and such. If it seems like a good idea, we’ll make it a regularish thing.

I’ll post times and such tomorrow so you can make sure to be at a computer if you want to participate.

Been working on the “Vault of Secret Awesome” for the past couple of days. This is the special site with bonus content (art, behind the scenes stuff, desktops, videos and audio) for readers that donate to help keep HE alive.

If you have already donated, you’ll be receiving a password via email to access the content. The password will change each month, but June and July will use the same password since the month is half over.

We recorded a mini-cast tonight that will show up on when it launches next week.
