I just spent far too long to find out my portable optical drive needs a specific micro-USB cable to work properly, not just one of the zillions I have in boxes and drawers. On the plus side, now that it’s working, we’re one step closer to getting comics on DriveThru’s site, so that’s a big plus. While I plow through these ancient CDs and DVDs, here’s some fun stuff I’ve found in my rummagings:

• I’m sure if you follow these amazing writing tips, you’ll be a best-selling author in no time!

• Speaking of books, The Book of Kells is now available online, complete with medieval illuminations.

• We satirize because we love. Here’s the only fantasy world map you need. The Norselands are quite metal, it’s true.

• And this last one has a little salty language in it, but it’s a great example as to why practical ways of looking at things is almost a superpower, especially if you’re partnered with Sherlock Holmes.
