Many thanks to Arlo Midgett who got us mentioned in a Boing Boing post yesterday! Luckily our server didn’t buckle under the traffic spike and the ripples are starting to spread as more blogs are picking up on our proposal to buy back the legislature.

Despite the heavy traffic and linkage there haven’t been major spikes in the feed subscriptions and I can still hear crickets in our forum. We’ll see how the numbers are looking next week but I hope we can get a few more films posted before the end of the month and try to surf this wave a bit.

The coolest part of this flurry of attention was stumbling across a very comprehensive review of my Alaska Robotics comic on the Watcher’s Webcomic Reviews site.

I only scored a 60% but I can’t argue too much with the constructive criticism and it really inspired me to work towards a more dedicated release schedule. I’ve informally been shooting for Mondays but I think it’s pretty clear that I haven’t been producing that often or consistently. I think by the end of the summer I can get into the right mood for it. I have a few energy draining projects remaining on my desk but I’m trying to elbow out some space to make this comic artist/filmmaker life really work.

These past couple of weeks have been going really well, I feel a little exhausted and very encouraged. I suppose I should brace for the inevitable ten thousand pound anvil up ahead but maybe if I can build up some momentum it will just glance off.
