It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border.” – Sarah Palin. See it Here (Opens in new Window) 5. “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” – Washington, D.C., August 5, 2004 – George W. Bush. 6. “I was in Germany over the weekend and President Putin of Germany gave one of the old Cold War speeches as he addressed the conference there.” – Senator John McCain in his presidential run up. Cheers and thanks for reading.

Seven things teleportation device invention may cause
As you can see from the comic post of today, Drake was in a karate class when he chose to test the teleportation device and ended up somewhere in the Antarctic. Not knowing the polar bear was at the dinner table expecting his meal to arrive. Let’s assume this isn’t the case, but how can you tell? Please read below.
Teleportation is to be the transfer of matter from one point to another at any given time, which can or should be instantaneous, through technological means or that which is not common.
1. THE INVENTION
First, apart from Dr. who(British Sitcom) and Star Trek which are two popular TV programmes, that use teleportation devices in their programmes, there is no way to transporting back in time without the machine invented would come to pass. The next list will look at the cases if the machine was invented.
2. POINT OF ENTRY AND EXIT
If the machine was invented or has been invented and works properly there is every possibility that it will have to have both an entry and exit machine placed in different locations anywhere in the world. The point of entry could be in your home. What’s the point of entry and just expect to find yourself anywhere.
3. COST AND EFFECTS
Still assuming the machine was invented, trust me, the cost will be higher than anything transportable you have ever seen and there will be people willing to pay to get on it at first and then as other products have turned out to be, the rich will want to get into it and get richer and encourages the prices to fall because there will be competition from different sides. To cut it short, planes, trains and motor car lanes will have no effect anymore.
4. CRIME
If it were to be something people could afford to buy, say the government was able to subsidize it for people and they can only buy the entry point for themselves and will have to choose a point of exit on the machine and can return to the one in their home from anywhere in the world through a unique code, then crime rate which is high and people complaining, will surge faster that anything ever because it will be the best medium to transport contraband goods to banned items such as weapons and drugs, including people trafficking among others from point x to point y without little or no interference from the keepers of the law. I mean when something goes missing in the home, people teleport to police station without searching.
5. MIGRATION
Moving from country to country will be a disaster, every time of the year. Winter time and on leave from work and everyone will flood to the tropical countries and vice versa. People will virtually be teleporting after the close of work to head to resorts. That is when Google earth will make the most sense to people who know nothing about geography and internet. I mean everyone one from everywhere will want to get somewhere at any given time.
6. INVASION OF PRIVACY
Just imagine political campaign and mail post spammers and what will happen. Well, aspiring politicians will probably get some easy access to your machine code from some clause in the data protection agency and just badge into your office when you are tweeting secretly about your crappy work or boss, or better still home when, geez, a lot can be happening, say you are yelling at your kids for pouring water over the newly bought laptop you have on a year’s credit and you get lectures about the changes to be made to the parenting law when they are elected.
Spammers and restaurant post droppers will just enter your home one second, drop a leaflet and exit immediately.
7. LAZINESS
Lazy people will make the most of it. People will pay people to transport their machines from their home to say a school bathroom and when an exam is taking place, they request a bathroom usage with the questions in their head and quickly go home check text books and return in a very short time. Is that possible? It could be if the device was invented.
To sum it all up, this is just a short list of what can happen when a teleportation device does exit, which I doubt. You readers may have other ideas. This brings me back to the cartoon which suggests that if it was invented and there were to be a malfunction, anything can happen and can end people up somewhere. Who knows.
To inventors, all the best.

It seems to me that proper driving in the city of London has gone out the window. I could be wrong or maybe it’s just the times I am on the road, but that’s not to exempt the fact that there are some people out there who shouldn’t be at the staring wheels of a car. Cheers This tale comes from a blogger on the streets of London.

As it turns out “Blog” is one of the most searched words on google. Now as a webcomic artist, one of the biggest tasks you will come across when starting your website is getting traffic flowing to your website on a daily basis and without it the website is nothing. I joined several social networking sites out there as a means to promote my work online and honestly a lot have helped, why? Because Like all search engines out there, Google uses a special algorithm called PageRank which assigns each Web page a relevancy score to generate search results. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT GOOGLE SEARCH * The frequency and location of keywords within the Web page * How long the Web page has existed * The number of other Web pages that link to the page in question and how popular the pages are. In short, I have to say I am putting out interesting things out over the web and getting people involved. More interesting ways to growth so far.

According to reports, it turns out there may be water on the moon. Not water per se but very fine films of H20 coat, the particles that make up the lunar dirt. The quantity may be small but turn out to be a useful resource in future. This data were collected from three spacecrafts. All the best.

Apparently there are a few things that’s wrong with the world around us. Some we can change, some we just have to accept it as it is. What’s wrong in men driving pink cars? No comments. In google e-book? No authour signing. With respect? Gone out the window. Apple Ipod? I don’t own one. In road works when running late? You’d wish for the power of flight. With some people being more beautiful? Get over it. Computer and internet giants? Dont care. Why do some women wear leather boots in summer? Hmmm. The problem with rail upgrades in London? It reminds you its a weekend. With everyone having his own style? Its called uniqueness. With technology? Its just as competitive. All the best.

After just writing a blog days ago about “MAKING A MARK AS A WEBCOMIC ARTIST” on how to use a tried and useful Ad website called project wonderful for new webcomic artists, I then reade that Google have branched into the field of bidding for ad spaces on website: The DoubleClick Ad Exchange. The good thing about theirs is that you would be able to bid for spaces on websites and the ability to run display ads across the Google Content Network(including Adsense partner sites) and on YouTube. That’s how I’ve simplified it. Well, Apart from on YouTube how else is it different from what project wonderful(PW) is offering to me and other people out there. Well, the one thing I don’t like about PW is that you have to constantly check your account that you are still the highest bidder for a particular web space. Apart from me who can afford to check my mail or the internet about three times a day, how many big name companies out there would, well you may say they are always connected to the web during work hours. True, but guess what from my experience I have realised that your target market have its peak hours and that ranges from country to country due to time difference. For smaller websites, trust me when people visit a website and see an Ad on the top or side it doesn’t mean they will click it. Well yes sometimes and most times but that’s if its what they are looking for or just happens to be the curiosity behind the Ad that leads to clicks but the ratio is small sometimes for smaller website/companies. All the best.

Joining the Webcomic community and establishing yourself as a known comic artist is the desire of every newbie. This is a community where a few popular webcomics have been able to establish themselves over the years. So, we new webcomic comic artist in the community need a bit of encouragement from readers. Some are very good and I do know a few and some are exploring other avenues that is different to what you see in papers or web. A few things can get anyone going: first, Adverts. You need to tell as much people as possible, but most importantly the right people and this are the people who like following webcomics or better still print comics. Ads online is the best way to and cheap for new artist. The best I have tried and can give is Projectwonderful. There is no click to get paid, just as long as visitors go to your website and build your traffick the more people will be willing to pay for space on your website. Also, like everyone I have met and serious about it has said, going to comic conventions. For someone in Uk when last did you attend a comic con in Uk where you saw a whole building filled with aspiring and established comic artist and writers. A very good art will catch the attention of anyone visiting for the first time(First impression matters most) and following it up with better comic strips will definitely remind them to subscribe to your RSS feed and so on. Put your website on every social netwrok out there by joining. Take note you don’t want to spam people(It’s irrating) A good conversation with someone will go a long way to build trust. There are a few other pointers but for someone who is serious your paid domain is the best you can do. All the best.
