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.
God Command Line

A silly comic replacing the commonly used *nix command “ls” with “god” that is perfect for developers/programmers/IT nerds.
Keyboard Heatmap

A visualization of the frequency of character appearing in over a dozen classic English language novels on a QWERTY keyboard. I wrote a small php program to read the text of the novels (obtained from https://www.gutenberg.org/) to count each character included on the final keyboard and output those in JSON format for JavaScript to read and generate the graphic as HTML. I printed the page as a PDF and imported that into Inkscape.
Forbidden

A comic for nerdy web developers/programmers and IT people that are not in the mood to talk by showing a 401 unauthorized HTTP message.
Gettysburg Address

The Gettysburg Address by President Abraham Lincoln was a dedication of portions of the fields of Gettysburg to bury those that fell in the bloody fighting. This comic attempts to translate Licoln's eloquent words into JavaScript.
Bump Presents Research

This is the second comic about the characters I created for the comic, “Things That go Bump in the Night.” This time Professor Bump describes research data but mistakenly converted the values to binary making the plot of little value.
Things That go Bump in the Night

This comic shows two characters both named “Bump” that are afraid of things that go bump during the day. One of the “Bumps” suggest they can scare the day-monsters away by making lots of noise in the middle of the night.
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.
VECTOR

A nerdy graphic that shows vector text spelling “VECTOR” and the SVG markup that generates it.
