Byzantine Generals
This is the home for my Byzantine Generals comics. The "Byzantine General" problem is a problem in computer science in how to deal with incorrect or incomplete information - while still operating reliably, and is a facet of distributed ledger technology.
My generals are characters both from my book, "Blockchain Technology for Managers" and now, my comics that reflect society and technology - complete with Dad humor and puns.

Comic for 11-03-2023 Copystrike
I took a clip from a scene in the Game of Thrones and made a spoof video called "Brooding Jon Snow". Five years later, I received a notice of a copyright claim. I disputed it under the parody exclusion of fair use within the copyright doctrine. My dispute was rejected by the claimant - so YouTube simply notified me that they were going to delete my video. Nice process you have there YouTube.
