interrobang + perl = awesome That good man John Ralston has been doing some drawing, and I liked 'em so much that I started hacking up a bit of perl to bring the combinatorial artform to life.→[More:]This is still rather in beta, and John is still drawing panels (which I'll add to the site as they appear), but the basic idea is there. And it looks darned cool.

I may be interested in making a bit of a polyorama site, hosting a wide variety of home-grown polyorama sets created by various whomevers. If folks find that compelling—and judging by the emcee thing, I wouldn't be surprised—I'd be happy to talk turkey.

Also, it is so hard to not accidentally type "polyamory". Decisive proof that males aren't built for monogamy, or plain-faced muscle-memory brain failure? YOU DECIDE!

I should have made that a link instead but I wasn't sure if it was going to work at all.

Why do I always have to decide? You're a grown man, cortex; it's time you stop wearing short pants and start making your own decisions. Hell, maybe make some decisions for me for once. What goes around comes around etc. et. al.

Another great cortex mash-up! This is completely awesome. It reminds me of those great kid books where you flip pages and replace body parts and facial features and things. This is like that, but for grown-ups! So cool. Interrobang, I love your drawing style. But you knew that already.

Very cool! It seems best at 9 for my monitor and I could click it all day.

Oh, and using the Moo cards is brilliant. I ordered my ten free cards, got them a couple days ago and you can colour me impressed.

Man, I ordered my moo cards back when it got mentioned on MeFi, and haven't seen 'em yet.

Impatient!

This is fantastic, cortex and interrobang! I love it.

Yes, please do a site, cortex! Now I'm going to have to try doing this.
