Know Your American
Recent events have made it extremely difficult to tell what kind of American you're dealing with. Americans are pretty tricky with all the name-calling and opportunizing and on the whole not being incredibly bright. So this is a handy guide, mostly for you foreigners and elite, literate-Americans.

Facebook
Can you believe they're making a movie about facebook? Man, that's going to be a boring movie. I've sat and watch people use facebook through their windows at night and it's really not that exciting.

Some of my critics might tell you it's unwise to announce you are about to announce your vice presidential candidate at 3am on Friday night and then actually annouce it on a day when nobody is actually paying attention to anything, but I believe in hope and change and all that and also if you vote for Kerry Edwards I will not allow extremely famous people to have blogs anymore.

Kerry Edwards' Vice President 1
Tonight is a special night as it is not only the latest Overcompensating update ever (3am Eastern Time) but it is also the night when I begin the fabricated suspense of the announcement of my Vice President! The selection will be revealed on Monday.

It looks like everybody is linking to three good webcomics! I will do the same.

Whubble is Bohda Te Jamie's office romance comic. It makes Dilbert look like Garfield.

Ugly Hill doesn't get near enough play if you ask me. It's about as good and angry as a comic can get.

Little Dee is another one -- a good, clean comic that makes you feel pretty good about things! Chris Baldwin is a main webcomics dude from small times so it's best to gander upon all his things.

The fact that 2/3 of those are TopatoCo clients and I stand to gain financially from their popularity nonwithstanding, these are true facts. And there a couple more I have bookmarked at the office that I can't remember straight away on account of it being 3am on Saturday morning and habitual processes are at play.

The latest Wigu comic is about the Legend of Mr. Boney. Oh dear. See you Monday for a week of on-time updates, for real!

Also I should tell you I have a Twitter I guess.]]> http://www.overcompensating.com/posts/20080827.html http://www.overcompensating.com/posts/20080827.html Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0400 <img src="http://www.overcompensating.com/comics/20080827.png" width="774" height="420" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0" alt="strip for August / 27 / 2008"><br /> Love Letter to Vista<br /> <a href="http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=TO&amp;Category_Code=CB"><img src="http://www.topatoco.com/graphics/00000001/cb-rogues-shirt-sm.gif" border="0" align="left" vspace="3" hspace="6"></a><font size="4">I wasn't sure</font> exactly why everyone was so angry at Windows Vista until I actually tried to use it for an <a href="http://topatoco.com">actual, real-world reason</a>.

Love Letter to Vista
I wasn't sure exactly why everyone was so angry at Windows Vista until I actually tried to use it for an actual, real-world reason. This god dang thing sucks, y'all.

And then it assumes you're an idiot so it constant ask you things like "are you sure you want to change the radio station?" Oh look, the cupholder just broke off because the radio is too shiny. Wait, the cupholder came original with the car. Hopefully in a couple of years they'll make a cupholder that I can replace it with; until then we'll hold the beer between my legs.

Anyway old Chris Baldwin has got some new shirts and hoodies and tote bags up for book nerds and yarn nerds, go look at this stuff!
