First, Homestarrunner paid honor to one of Orin’s favorite bits of technology, the Keytar (Strongbad for instance had a KeySwordTar, referenced elsewhere in the blog). Now they’ve done it again!

This weekend, Oddwalk spent time in sunny San Diego, California. We had a great time, met a lot of wonderful people, and managed to scare off a priest. More on that later. Oddwalk was leading two days of training for youth in the diocese – they have such days every few months. This time around…
