I'm attempting to resurrect an old project of mine, in which I comment on tech news and culture using drawings or "photoshops" (with a lowercase p). I guess like a webcomic, but also using GIMP for photo manipulations. I was wondering if there are other amateur humorists in this forum that do the same. I know several of the popular sites like xkcd (although not always tech related) and The Joy of Tech, which typically comments on the world of Apple. But I'd love to see relatively unknown webcomics, satirical writing, funny fake-twitter accounts, or other forms of tech humor.

I just finished reading all of the control-alt-delete (http://www.cad-comic.com/) cartoons... from the start until now... Yes, night shift can be this long and boring...

Hehe thanks, I'll add that to my list! I also forgot to mention videos are welcome, too. Similar to the iPhone vs. Evo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg) video that went viral last summer. But perhaps a different format. I can only listen to so many robotic conversations at the store before it gets annoying.

Thanks Dr. C. Looks like my Instapaper has several new articles to read. :D

I've updated my little project:

An old favourite (not many people get it, hopefully here most will)

A guy buys a parrot from the local pet store.

Takes it home and the parrot keeps saying "pieces of 9, pieces of 9"

Eventually the guy takes it back to the store and says "i think there is something wrong with this parrot, he keeps saying "pieces of 9, pieces of 9" instead of "pieces of 8, pieces of 8"

The store owner replies "must be a parroty error" ;-)

Sorry but gets me everytime

Ars had an article about a comic unknown to me but is apparently popular among students: http://www.phdcomics.com/

I'll gather links and update the original post.

I have question for those with websites: is tumblr a good platform for sharing my work? I like the site's social features, but the it doesn't seem to be a place filled with original content - just reposts of memes. Is there a better place to post my work?
