Whats a Google?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

"Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.

Nobody finally arrives

Life is unceratin, and at times, I feel that this WebBlomic, no matter how life like it may be, is uncertain. If I am not uploading comics with every color of the spectrum, I'm sitting in a Krystal parking lot, soaking up all the free WiFi I can, only to be let down after trying to upload a comic three seperate times, why? Why blogger? Why. Why do my fans have to wait an additional day, maybe two, to see the next installment of GenreNation? Why, do I waste my time asking retorical questions only to get an auto reply that tells me I havent't tried hard enough and to try again, and let us know if that dosn't work. I know there are a lot of morons out there, in fact, I am ok with the fact that I maybe/am one of those idiotsavants, who...
-Jeremy
What ever are you talking about my good man?
-Captain Nobody
Oh, hey Captain, well, I was trying to upload your arrival comic today, and I just got bummed, I guess, in a way I am bummed out about because I didn't make the The Best Webcomics of 2005. Or maybe I am bummed out, because these illusions of granduier and visons of greatness are all starting to become, well, un-efforted...
-Jeremy
Stop right there, Citizen. There is no need for your negativity. You don't need it, I don't need it, and Mr. Number Two. especially dosn't need it. WE, as a team, need to stay positive, pick oursleves up when we don't make some list complied by some people who, have no idea of the life we live, or the quality comics we produce on a daily basis.
-Captain
But these comics aren't quality...
-Jeremy
I told you boy! Now I am going to have to body slam you... positively.
-Captain
oooh, uhmphhhh, ouch, smile!
-Jeremy
Now let me help you up,
-Captain
Thanks Captain, now on with the show, don't you have a pencil your supposed to be saving?
-Jeremy
Up, Up and....
-Up.
Dont't forget, 3 more days on the choice/chance compitetion! Get your comments in ASAP. I need everyone's participation... seriously, do it. Do it, what are you still reading for, go decide/design.

Digitally Dumbfounded



ShTo publish or not to publish? That is the question.
-Producer
Yes we should publish it! The show must go on! Right? Let me explain. The above 2 images continue to represents the dilemma that I/We are currently faced with. The top image is a PNG file uploaded directly to blogger, some of you may recognize the purple from previous comics. The bottom image represents a file originally uploaded to Photobucket.com, (my broken pencil secret has been revealed.) Now some of you may say, "why didn't you use a white background," I say "that is a good idea"... for next time, others, may suggest transferring image to jpeg, which would be a great idea if I wasn't running windows 3.0 (I am not actually using Windows 3.0, just practicing my alliteration techniques)
-Director
5 Days left on the Tshirt competition. Comment Today!
-Contest Person
Nothing like good ol' fashioned DEADlines!
-Coral Pinsell (feeling that karma crap slowly creeping up her leg)
There you have it, a behind the scenes look at the day to day struggles that we face here @ GenreNation. Check out Loosetooth.com for someone who has managed to get past these struggles, and develop a really cool website. Brandy, I am your biggest unknown fan. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get some shut eye, big day tommorow. Tune in to find out how it went. ps Did anyone happen to check out Dane Cook on SNL? Great show, musical guest James Blunt wasn't bad either.
-Jeremy
The Google Tutorial has been postponed unitl after Tshirt on Spoaks Back or Front Contest (don't forget to vote) Thanks.

But yet it's still worth 1000 words.

Just when I was feeling confident with the Photobucket, now my lines are askew.

A veiw from inside?

oh, I gotcha, just give me a page, or call me on my cell, when you gotta sec.
-Nonanonymous
Help is on the way Mr. Number Two.
-Captain Nobody

... And now a word from this guy...
Hey get-a-long gang, just wanted to thank everyone for stopping buy, it really means a-lot to me, "We" have surpassed 2000 hits (which may seem like a small number, but to me... its huge), I couldn't have done it without you! I would also like to thank our new sponsor, www.photobucket.com, without them, who knows what color this comic would be.

Coming up---->>>> Well, I have planned a tutorial in google, and also plan on working out the idea of WebComic Commerce, so please stay tuned. Oh yeah, speaking of that... www.GenreNation.com is coming down the pipe, gotta couple more details to iron out, with Mr. Lusagi, but, It should be unvailed by the beggining of the year, its a resolution of mine. Wow, ok, so I am going to go pull into my driveway, thanks again, and... Oh yeah, Thank you Your Own Reflection, for the Modest Mouse Poster, I hope you like how I used it.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Tramell
