BEEP! Jon is too busy being genuinely nerdy (bug hunting, programming, keeping clients happy) to come to the blog right now.

So, you get to hear from me again.

We have a HUGE comic book collection. There are stacks of long white boxes in our garage, and not a small number of the shorter white boxes. Some of the books have been properly archived with bags and boards, but some have not, so I’m on that duty these days. In addition, I’ve been practicing the alphabet as I put the books in some sort of order. (Let’s see, it goes X-Men, Amazing X-Men, New X-Men, Ultimate X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, and X-treme X-Men, right? or should X-Men go before X-treme X-Men? hmm…)

In an attempt to catalog the collection–and to find out exactly how large it is–I twisted my own arm this week and bought a copy of ComicBase Express and a barcode scanner.  (Check them out at http://www.comicbase.com.)

I can’t wait until my new tools arrive!

(Yes, we go to Comic-Con. Do you really need to ask?)
