Desktops

Web developers/programmers and designers need to work closely together if those duties are handled by different people. As a lead web developer I had ample opportunities of seeing the desktops of my fellow developers and the talented designers and how different their minds worked. This comic showcases the disparity in the laptop desktops. I created it with two little JavaScript-powered web pages, one for each desktop, to add emojis as the icons. I took the photos used as the backgrounds.
Nerd Tiles

This comic for the web developers/programmers generates the tiles that spell out four different nerd names: nerd, geek, dork, and dweeb. This could have been made simpler with just HTML and CSS but where is the fun in that. So it also includes JavaScript.
Insanity

This nerdy comic uses a fictitious *Nix terminal command as a play on the popular description of insanity as doing the same thing expeting a different outcome.
Too Much Information

Kids love asking lots of questions, especially if they think they are being annoying. This comic shows what would happen if you actually answered them.
The Great Adventurer

In the dark ages of RPGs you were on your own to find your quest objectives. There is nothing wrong with that for the serious gamer but it is a huge obstacle for the casual gamer. So game developers added HUDs (Heads-Up Display), maps, and quest markers to make it easier to find your objectives. In this comic the HUD vanishes.
Cynical

Not everyone is a "people person." This comic says, "I am not cynical. I just don't believe anything you or anybody else says."
Web Development Pitfalls

Web development like most development/programming projects have pitfalls that other projects do not have to deal with. People can have an idea of what goes into building a house but since the development/programmer population is small compared to the overall population there is not as much understanding.
Infinity Algorithm

Rather than make an algorithm with an infinite loop as a nod to infinity this comic uses a class and function so the code line spells out “infinity” and the output is “infinity” as well.
Ecodeji - Fibonacci sequence

This is a silly algorithm using JavaScript to make EMOJI character icons function as JavaScript keywords. It isn't a practical way of doing it but it is short enough to print on merchandise for fellow members of the nerd, developer/programmer, and IT communities.
Vetruvius [Stick] Man

A nerdy graphic showing a stick man version of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous drawing Vetruvius Man. It also shows the code that generated it.
