9 rules
I never got picked.
There. It’s out. I’ve said it. I was scrawny, wore thick, dark-rimmed glasses that made my eyes look like I was perpetually squinting, and had a terminal lack of hand-eye coordination that made me the next-to-last choice for teams (last one was Paco Mendez, but he had a lazy eye and drooled on himself, so he doesn’t count).
Which is why today I’m really proud to announce that I am part of the gang. I’m one of the cool kids, boys! As of today, Overcaffeinated is part of an emerging network with a lot of potential: The 9 Rules network, it’s called, and it’s led by my man Paul “Scrivs” Scrivens, of Whitespace (and former CSS Vault) fame.
I didn’t mention this before, but I met Scrivs at SxSW, and the man is an odd combination between a riot waiting to happen and the energizer bunny. He’s incredibly focused and a lot of fun to hang out with. I’m very confident that this will be a beneficial agreement, for all of us involved.
What can you expect from this move? Well, I’ll be trying to capitalize more on the aspects of the site that can help me pay rent, so you can expect more frequent writing, the usual lack of focus, and yes… The comic is making a comeback.
Top of the world, baby.
As for my old junior high colleagues:
How do you like them apples NOW, bitches?!!

FELICIDADES SERGIO!!!!….
Good, good times indeed. ^_^
Does this mean you won’t have time to personally answer e-mails? (And you won’t have time to introduce me to your brother??? ;P)
Felicidades Serg!
Yey! Comics!!! :-D So when do you start???
Ah, yeah…congrats Sergio! ji ji
can I get a \/\/00+!!!
comics…. no way! are you sure that is not sarah putting up the posts…. congrats!
Glad to see you on board, Sergio. I’ve been a reader of your site for several (several, several) months now. Looking forward to it!
Yay, and good for you! I originally found this place because of the comic. I thought it was great and missed it when it fell by the wayside. I only recently picked it back up for the blogging. Good to see I can get both soon.
Oh yeah? Well I’ve been reading Overcaffeinated.net for 36 years. Beat that!
Sergio, being picked last usually leads to expectations being blown away.
I’m a long time listener, first time caller. Glad you’re on the list.
Life’s looking up, eh? :) These news made my day a lot less cloudy. Oh, there is hope for the world as long as you assure us we’ll receive our regular fix of overcaffeinated readings while we sip from our ‘round the clock mugs. And a comic come back! Wow…
Congrats Sergio!
Maybe now the girls and the sports cars arrive with this move!
And itīs great to hear that the comics will come back!
w00t!!
Congrats on the membership and welcome!
…………..
:O
Do my eyes deceive me?! The…comic..actually…back?!?!
Just when I thought it would never happen and thought Luna should just give up and shut up! (Just joking Luna, :) )
The vary reason I ever gave this blog a look, the comic that brought many hours of happiness and joyfulness to my life! (What? I can’t lie, they made me laugh my ass off)
THE COMIC THAT BROUGHT……well….COMIC!
Great news to hear Sergio, the comic and the 9rule’s thing (sorry, not familiar with it and to lazy to find out)
And don’t worry, I know how it feels (They chose the crippled kid over me!)
But really man, good on you!
You’ll be a hit, Sergio, and glad to hear you’ll be posting more! Yay for us!
Yay the comic! and more posting! It’s like christmas came early I have nothing left to look forward too.
Hoorah! For several reasons. I actually had a $15 bet going, whether or not there would be another comic within the year, and so I definately score. I always had faith in you, Sergio—and now, that faith is going to buy me a cheeseburger and a couple tracks on iTunes. Mmm.
I knew you were not a loser, that’s why I am not really that surprised. Anyway I am glad you like your new achievement, now you got someone you love, someone that loves you and an internet medal… so, what’s left??? OH THAT’S RIGHT!! give your readers tits and hot chicks on your comic.
“How do you like them apples NOW, bitches?!!”
Haha, dark-rimmed glasses boy has his revenge (sort of).
If you ask me, Scrivens is getting the better end of the deal here. What are you hoping to get from this?
Love the site by the way - I’ve been reading it for months too
Oh yeah, Scriv’s a lucky boy you are gonna top his ratings. Felicidades, and come on that comics
I stopped reading when you stopped updating the comic. If that starts getting updated again, I’d be likely to come back more often.
Welcome to the network Sergio. When I read in the mail that you would be announced today, I thought, nice! I’ve been reading your weblog for more then a year now. Really like your writing, keep it up.
