The Cheat is not dead

One Monday a year or two ago, Strongbad entered my life. While surfing around at work, I came across a link to homestarrunner.com. At the time, it seemed just another flash cartoon site that were quite common. This site did stand out because it has a weekly feature where a character named Strongbad would read and respond to peoples' emails. The authors have a very quirky yet computer savvy sense of humor that caught my attention. It soon became a ritual at work that the geeks would gather in a randomly chosen cubicle to watch the new updates at the beginning of every week. The site’s grown a lot since then and more and more people are now familiar with the characters that hang out there. The reason I bring it up today is that I received my newly released "Strongbad sings and other type hits" CD in the mail. It’s not going to win a grammy, but it did put a smile on my face today.
