If I had a Patronus, it would be a unicorn, because they are awesome.

Creature

I haven’t drawn in a long time, so here’s a lil sketch. I like drawing random creatures because you don’t have to be perfect with proportions. Word.

This ain’t Cuil.

So I’m reading everywhere about this new search engine called Cuil (pronounced “cool”). First off, I’m pretty sure this won’t beat Google. Just like Apple owns music players and Microsoft owns Office apps, Google owns search. I don’t see people saying, “Hey let’s Cuil that.” It’s not even a verb dude.

But the best part is, which Joy pointed out to me, was the picture that comes up when I search myself.

Check it out, next to my linkedin link: http://www.cuil.com/search?q=mike+mariano

This must have been taken on my bad side, which unfortunately must be the front.

Comicon ‘08

Pics from Comicon! This was my first time there, and I’m definitely going back. Although it was a bit crowded in the exhibit area, it was cool just to experience. The costumes are crazy yo! Maybe next year we’ll dress up. Ha!

The best part of the event was the Battlestar Galactica panel. Which we waited about an hour and a half to get in. Very cool to see the stars and creators of the best show ever!!!

Cross country bike ride

Mike — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:33:45 +0000

So I thought I’d post this. My good friend Dave is riding a bike from Boston to San Francisco. Not a bike with a motor, but one with pedals. And he’s probably wearing tight biker shorts. Either way, he’s also blogging about it here: http://www.ithoughtiwasinbettershape.com

Wish him luck!

As for me, I’ve started a new job at Microsoft Advertiser and Publisher Solutions. So I probably won’t be posting as much.

Future Competition

Check out my 6 year old niece on the Wacom. Really quickly, I showed her two tools, the paint brush and paint bucket, and how to change the color. I think I should worry about my job security.
