Scott Kurtz is a hard working man I tell you. In addition to creating his online web comic PVP he is also producing comic books through IMAGE and now through Blind Ferret Entertainment Inc. he is producing an animated Series about his web comic PVP. The series is going to be run monthly for the next 12 months. Allison and I have read all of the PVP web comics and I have purchased the PVP collected editions from IMAGE. We watched the first episode last night and it was pretty funny. PVP the Series is $2.95 a month or a subscription of $24.95 for the year. I had blogged about this before when the price was only $19.95 for the year. I made my first purchase with PPP money to buy myself a subscription. I can also download the episode to watch on my iPod so that is cool too. If you haven’t ever read any web comics you should start with PVP (sorry Wes it was my first but you’re is my favorite) and then You’ll Have That. You will see that good comic strip artists are not just found in newspapers.

Comp USA TAP Program
Today as I was working on my computer my brand new monitor, the Viewsonic VX2245 with integrated iPod dock, suddenly made a pop noise and shut off completely. I was nonplussed to say the least. I just sat their staring at the black screen pressing the power button and wondering and hoping if it was a fluke and if it would turn back on. Well t did not turn back on so I unhooked everything and took it back to Comp USA. I purchased the Technology Assurance Program or TAP program as they call it so I knew everything was okay. The TAP program is a one time thing if something goes wrong with your device you bring it back and if it cannot be fixed it will be exchanged. I brought it in and they checked it out determined that it was in fact kaput so they got me another one. However because I did not have my original box I had to take the new one home without a box so they could send the broken one back. A little weird but never-the-less I was happy to get a new monitor. I also got back my cords and cables. I however, forgot to get the custom iPod insert that was part of the monitor. I will have to get over there tonight and get that out of the old monitor. After all was said and done they didn’t even use my TAP because the monitor was only 2 days beyond the return date policy. I was happy, especially if something like this happens again. I have the piece of mind knowing that I can return the monitor and get a new one if something goes wrong.
