Previously on Ryorin's Ramblings, I talked to my friend and fellow student Josh Uitvlugt, creator of the science fiction webcomic Just Add Water (updating Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) about the creation of the comic, the characters, the many uses of paperclips, coffee versus tea, the evil mechanisms of squirrels, and his own thoughts on how science and science fiction should interact.
Josh was kind enough to provide a self-introduction:
"My name is Josh Uitvlugt, and I am the author of a webcomic called 'Just Add Water'. I am having a lot of fun doing the comic, and it acts as a great outlet for the creativity that I am proud to have. I am an engineer, and while that may conjure up ideas about people with a rigid application of rules and mathematics, engineering requires more creative input than almost any other occupation. Creative problem solving is the very basis of engineering, and it is what defines me as a person. I like to feel that the insight that I have to offer contributes to the world around me, and I hope that this interview will convince you that I can be an interesting person."
In this installment, Josh discusses time travel, Star Trek, his characters, superpowers, webcomics in general, webcomic-drama in specific, and the creation of his comic.
And now for the exciting conclusion!
