Weird EEE quirks

A couple odd behaviors have come to my attention in recent days.

1) ctrl-Q doesn't always send correctly (I edit in emacs a lot) over internet. But it works just often enough that I doubt it's a terminal setting.

2) Plugging it in doesn't start recharging the battery unless the battery is down to 80% or less. At 90%, plugging in doesn't cause the battery to draw power.

Bleme: The First Comic You Remember Reading

Inspired by gamera_spinning's link to an EW Article about the comics that got various creators hooked, I figured I'd try to start a little LJ meme.

What was the first comic you can remember reading, or the first to make enough of an impression on you that you do remember reading it, assuming that you were reading comics as a wee little kiddie? Bonus if you can find the cover on CoverBrowser or some similar site and link it in.

( Mine was Captain America #200, I think. )

Diabetes as a breakdown in nightclub management

A metaphor. Thought it up over dinner, probably still needs work.

Heisenberg "Uncertainty" as a reference frame effect

Brightsword II (Timm style homage)

And now, from science to art. Third Age patriotic hero Brightsword, daughter of the Second Age hero of the same name. Slight costume redesign since my 1996 drawing, with pose strongly referenced from here
