ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT LIAGS
August 26, 2010 at 1:34 PM EST (GMT -5)
Good afternoon, everyone. For starters, let me thank you for continuing to come to LifeInAGunshell.com. Despite my being behind on posting the comic, we're still seeing nearly 5,000 unique visitors to the website every month, and even more readership through the "it!" section of the Free Lance-Star.

Life In a Gun Shell is now in its fourth year of internet publication, and is a couple months off from being at that same point in the paper. At one point, two comics hit the internet every week. It was shifted to one a while ago. Now, it is time for another unfortunate shift. From this point on, Life in a Gun Shell will only be published in the Free Lance-Star every other week. It was a decision come to between the editor of the section and I. I will, however, be making an increased effort to update the website with a fresh comic on a weekly basis.

Thank you again for your continued support!

SOME "ORIGINAL CUTS"

I didn't think that these were special enough to go in to the "Uncensored" section, but here are two original versions of recently uploaded comics.




FEEDING THE FLAME OF THE PHONE
June 26, 2010 at 2:34 PM EST (GMT -5)
I hate to contribute to this flame war, but I've got an honest question: How many people here have jumped off of their carrier just because of the iPhone, or some other phone, recently? If you have the choice between carriers, or easily have the ability to switch around, then great. Perhaps this war is more significant for you.

There's only one carrier that works the very well in my area: Verizon. So, that's really the choice I have. I'd love to have an iPhone, but it's just not an options. My choices break down to "Do I want something the size of the Droid X? How about a physical keyboard?"

Maybe I'm underestimating the number of people who have that choice, and have the ability to easily jump between carriers (I'm on a family plan, so switching would either involve everyone moving, or a second plan, both of which are relatively expensive). "Oh this phone isn't nearly as good as the new iPhone! Where's the front camera? Where's the high-res screen?" We aren't fighting the Zune vs. iPod battles anymore. It's not a gaming console war. Sure, there are features that are lacking in the phones, and innovation shouldn't grind to a halt simply because people are tied to a network that has nothing better to offer, but at the end of the day, it's a phone, and the question must be asked: Can it make calls?

But, this is a battle that will keep waging. Maybe once there is a CDMA iPhone, I'll be willing to revisit this argument. Of course, we'll also be debating if it's humane or savage to eat the wings off of pigs.

DROID TO ENV2 COMPARISON
June 21, 2010 at 12:28 PM EST (GMT -5)
I was at the local Verizon store checking out the Motorola Droid and HTC Incredible. The Incredible is back-ordered by over a month, so I couldn't place an order, but I snapped a couple of blurry size-comparison shots to my current LG Env2 (VX9100).
