This is what I think of when I see a man wearing a Utilikilt

A Utilikilt is one of those modern day kilts you see men wearing at renaissance fairs and hippie festivals.

I helped design this: KnowEm Username Check

I don't do client work anymore, but I do occasionally help out friends and neato people when they need design work done. The guys at KnowEm are some of these neato people. In a nutshell, their website allows you to check your username on a megabuttcrapton of websites at once so you don't have to manually check each one. Last fall I helped them build the interface for their site, and a few weeks ago I helped again when they needed an upgrade.

KnowEm Username Check
KnowEm puts hair on your knuckles and lets you check your username.

By default it'll only search the most popular sites, but if you click on social networks it'll let you search across hundreds. You can also check domain availability with it.

For example: let's suppose some greedy oatmeal-stealing bastards like Quaker, Inc. wanted to own the name "Oatmeal" on a ton of websites like Twitter and Facebook, this tool would allow yours truly to beat them to the punch. Ultimately it allows The Oatmeal to be stronger, faster, and more aerodynamic than ever, which then allows The Oatmeal to be more attractive to women and eventually park his lunar manship into their love nebula.
And by park I mean sexify! And by love nebula I mean vagina!

Update: Their website is experiencing some issues due to ten bazillion Oatmeal fans all trying to use it at the same time. If it's not responsive, please check back in a little while.

Regarding Kissing

Kissing normally
Kissing with your eyes open

The first comic I ever drew was called The Types of Bad Kissers and it was for Mingle2. Someone on Twitter read it and mentioned another possible type, which is what inspired the above illustrations.

Vote for me to speak at SXSW

I want to speak at SXSW next year about nipple hair, my intense dislike of porta potties, and how I wish Nikola Tesla was my crazy uncle. The conference this year is also going to coincide with the release of my new book, so there's gonna (hopefully) be an Oatmeal party in Austin complete with petting zoo / chainsaw juggling. SXSW has a voting system that partially determines who gets to speak and I'd appreciate it if any oatmeal fans out there could give me a vote.

Vote for The Oatmeal here

Also, a friend of mine is hoping to present about geeky art stuff and I'd love it if he got chosen to speak, so if your mouse finger isn't feeling too sleepy give him a vote as well.
AND if your mouse finger isn't completely exhausted by now, vote for me to speak on another friend's panel about humor in design.
