People who know me IRL know that I’m nearly as crazed a 37Signals fan as I am an Apple fan. I’ve been using 37Signals’ Basecamp for a while now to schedule my work on Machiavelli and my other projects. They asked me to write a little something about how I used it to post on their site, which I did. Here it is: how I use Basecamp for my comics.

This is the first post uploaded via iPad. Actually, the image and its preparation were done on the iMac, but the typing and editing of the post itself were done in WordPress using Safari for iPad. It works pretty well. I’ll be looking into creating Machiavelli in ePub format. Comics look wonderful on this thing.

Biagio Buonaccorsi describes life back at the office in his letter to Machiavelli, who is away on a diplomatic mission. Machiavelli was very popular with his subordinates, and their letters to him are full of good-natured profanity and “taking the piss.” Machiavelli and his Friends is an indispensible resource for these kind of letters, containing almost every letter written between him and his friends & family.
