Hot: This first card was challenging. Back on the 13th, when I first set down my intentions for this project, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I spent the next ten days reading things, assimilating concepts, arguing with myself, and cutting up magazines with the thought of [...]
Hot: The premise behind this project is very simple: Choose a Tarot card (only shuffling for the first draw). Dissect the visuals on the card and write down their most basic symbolic elements (from opinion/personal preference). Look up details of that Tarot card from tarot books, 777 and other cross-cultural references. Create a visual and/or [...]
Hot: “There’s an implied obligation of those (myself included) who own these nuggets of history to share them, not squirrel them away in some dusty shoebox only to risk oblivion via flood, fire, or neglect.”- Gary The Adolph Sutro’s Victorian Cliff House sat upon a cliff in San Fransisco over looking The Sutro Baths for [...]
Hot: Preface: If you’re following me on Twitter, you may have seen my non-stop barrage of updates relating to a trip I am currently still on, a trip to Portland Oregon for the H.P.

This article was originally 2 hours worth of unedited vitriol, inspired by the inordinate amount of time it takes me to remove spammers from my follower list on Twitter. (I block because I care about the health of the network.) I would like to [...]
For all my talk about papercraft, this was the first real papercraft I’ve done outside of paper chains, origami cups, and the occasional botched snowflake. Read on for complete first-timer notes, and an assembly walkthrough.
Hot: Hi friends! First of all, I’d like to thank whoever came across and ordered a tee shirt from the RKNet Printfection store. I figured I’d share the store location, if any of you are interested in picking up a shirt (in varying flavors): RKNet Super Emporium. The prices are a dollar over cost, giving [...]
Hot: When you’re stuck inside because the weather has gone from bad to worse, or when you’re looking for a cheap project for gift giving or just good old fashioned time consumption that actually isn’t looking at pictures of cats with captions, papercraft is great. “Papercraft” is exactly what it sounds like: crafts made with [...]
Hot: (Yes, hunted to death by ignorant white men.) One of our affiliates, TorsoPants, is regrettably no longer going to be with us. On December 23rd (Hail Eris) they will close their </html> forever. They are the most openly absurdist tee shirt-ery this side of Fnord. It’s worth a look, especially since these coming days [...]
Hot: That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die. Something I have learned over the past decade is that every investigative hero requires the correct and proper equipment.
