My friend just recently decided to start his own review blog called The Point Blank Critic. He’s really into trying new kinds of beer, Apple (Mac) computers and products, music, movies, video games, and technology in general. He also happens to be a pretty good cook, and one of my best friends. These last two interests are not necessarily cause-and-effect, but being a good cook is a nice bonus to have in a friend.

For his first blog post, he’s started what he says will be a regular event: Free Drink Friday - where he hopes to review a different beer weekly. The goal: to save people from horrible, cheap, piss-water beer. He does not claim to be a beer snob; The Point Blank Critic will be reviewing national brands as well as local breweries and microbreweries. From what I know of him, there’s more good reviews in store. Be sure and bookmark The Point Blank Critic at PointBlankCritic.com.

Web Comics: Real Life Comics by Greg Dean

January 14th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Daily Life, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Real Life Comics, books, comics, w00t

Comic author and artist Greg Dean’s web comic strip “Real Life Comics” is just that - a comical look at both real and some fictional aspects of his actual life. The characters are named after real people for the most part, and tell amusing anecdotes from Greg’s life. He is married to a woman named Liz, and since I’ve been reading have moved across the country several times.

They also have the Real Life Support Group, through which readers can donate and get cool digital gifts like Real Life Comics wallpaper. Every Christmas Greg and Liz send out Christmas cards to those who donate and even sell 10-packs of cards with a special Christmas design on them. I was not fortunate enough to be able to buy Greg’s first book, but he has a new book out now that is essentially the Cliff’s Notes guide to Real Life, a “best-of” if you will of the comic to date. It’s for sale now on the website and available through Lulu self-publishing.
