This week I've been working on the new version of the website for Adam Cohen's awesome webcomic MOSE. I launched it yesterday to coincide with the opening of the Low Pop gallery show at designbox, which features several of Adam's pieces.

About a year ago, I built the original site around a custom CMS and email subscription engine. The new version uses the same system, and includes some upgrades for selling prints via PayPal, a random comic display, and some other tidbits.

The site design was produced by Adam's company Distill.

Add me to the list of victims.

A couple of days ago, I noticed that my trackpad button was unresponsive in the middle, but OK on the sides. I figured some cruft had gotten under it and would work it's way out eventually. Today, I noticed a little bit of a wobble, like there was something on my desk under the machine. So I took a look...

Apple Support was very responsive, and they're sending me a new battery free of charge (provided I send back this one). Great service, but I'm homebound until the big yellow van comes to visit.

[update: 5/3]
My replacement arrived this afternoon, less than 24 hours after my call. Awesome customer service, but I'd rather have had a good battery to begin with. If I had been on the road, I would've been screwed.

Well, I didn't win any ribbons at the CARBOY Shamrock Open, but my Amarillo APA did get a score of 40! This was my first competition, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I got some great feedback, definitely a learning experience.

They didn't like my Sorachi Ace IPA though - gave it a 20. I think it's just misunderstood.
