some (more?) background

i like the comic book called Northlander.

it's not marvel or really technically DC (it's vertigo) so you know they care about things. starting a new comic idea is not as easy as trying to reinvent old favourites.

i'm Canadian, despite trying to cling to "Scottish heritage" because i believe it's more interesting or descriptive than canadian. i don't think i'm the only canadian that thinks so. we reach for something else to describe us. canada is boring and doesn't have much of a culture of its own yet still. besides hockey, which i am fine with, but reject.

they can both be considered Northlanders, canadians and whatever the hell my grandparents were.

and i like the cold for the most part. recently i told a friend that i would buy a parka with the rest of my money, and move north. she said she wouldn't blame me, but it's probably not very fun.

my background

is black, because when you look at your turned off computer screen, you see black.
that means when you see black pixels on the screen right now, when the computer is on, those particular pixels are OFF.

the blacker our computers are, the more energy we save.

it's probably saving the same amount of energy as it takes for us to let a fart go.

but I'M TRYING ARE NOT I?

end of explanation.

and why is explanation not spelled explaination? anyone?
