What

Overtly Open is a tech-editorial cartoon written, illustrated, and produced by Ben Longoria. I'm sequestering "tech-editorial" to mean: it's like a traditional editorial cartoon, but about technology, not politics.

The goal is to have fun and highlight the often-times non-sensical propaganda from all corners of the tech world.

Who

I'm a web/software developer who has been working in the industry for over 7 years. Before starting to write code, I actually produced artwork and focused more on graphic design. Years ago I even published cartoons and comics for school and university papers, it was a lot of fun!

How

Editorial Cartoons

To start I will be setting a goal to publish one cartoon about some random technology subject, topical or otherwise, at least once a month. And hopefully build up from there.

Interludes

A interlude cartoon may be more ranty, off-topic, or random than the regular tech-editorial pieces. These will be published intermittently.

Tech

The cartoons are produced using Intaglio and Pixelmator.

One More Thing

I still like to write software, and will link to projects of mine with various levels of support and completeness in the Lab.
