Well, it seems I haven't posted news for a long time. There's a bug in my news script I haven't gotten around to fixing that sometimes does weird things and wipes out my RSS feed when I post new items. But, I think it's worth the risk to let you know that if you are a regular reader of Strange Quark, in Sunday's comic you will get to meet an old friend for the very first time! Also, the title bar on Sunday's comic is completely awesome, if I do say so myself. OK, now to post this and see if it works. Sure hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission, or this is gonna be a real short trip!

Strange Quark has now been online, posting a new comic every day, for THREE YEARS! Celebrate by getting a TShirt! I've uploaded several new designs. If there is a character or a theme you'd like to see on a shirt, or on a nook cover, or a tie, etc., let me know!

June 23 is the centennial of the birth of Alan Turing, a great pioneer in computer science. As such, Turing will be the focus of the next few comics. You can also click on the link to see several past comics about Alan Turing all on one page.

It took some experimenting, but I was able to get my point-and-shoot camera with no manual settings to take some pictures of the eclipse last week.

This image from "Talking About Strange Quark" seems appropriate for the Ides of March.
