Hot: Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue. It took a lot of wandering around, a phone call, and I think two concierge desk stops to finally figure out that the Copley Plaza Marriott was in fact through the Copley Plaza Westin and the attached mall. That [...]
Hot: Lately I’ve gotten a really strong urge to learn how to screenprint, or silk screen as it’s also called. I’ve done some reading online, with MAKE/CRAFT magazine being particularly helpful. Still, as excited as I was I didn’t feel like I had quite enough information to really jump in and start buying screens and [...]
Hot: Recently I picked up a purse from the local branch of the Goodwill. It was a small metal purse, with rounded sides and a beaded handle. It’s a pastel olive color, with a print of children playing on the lower half of the front and back. The graphic elements are derived from vintage J&P [...]
Hot: Case in point: People getting all up in arms about an Absolut print ad campaign depicting a large chunk of the southwest United States as being part of Mexico “In an Absolut World”. Give me a break, people. What are you offended by, exactly? History? The fact of the matter is, the land depicted [...]

I had a brief spat with some woman named Amanda Chapel because I had issues with the idea of arguing against the merits of internet culture on the internet.

Hot: I found a great big PNG with instructions on how to make a papercraft mudkip! I found it on some random gamer forum, but it looks like it originated with someone from /po/. If you get around to making this, be sure to share links to photos in the comments! Fun papercraft Pokey-mans for [...]
Hot: Last night the most remarkable series of things happened, resulting in a delightful print out just for you! In #ormgas (the IRC channel for the OCR internet radio broadcast), Leissi pasted the following – Notice: This Department requires no physical fitness program: everyone gets enough exercise jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, running [...]
Hot: What more is there to say? Ok, well, for anyone who isn’t in the know: SMITH Magazine, Larry Smith, and Rachel Fershleiser set about collecting six word memoirs from all types of people. Some were famous, some were just everyday people who entered a contest to have their miniaturized life story printed. The outcome [...]
Hot: With all the talk of female body augmentation and supplementation, I felt it was high time somebody treat the subject with the respect it deserves… by turning it into a children’s workbook sheet and making a contest out of it. Below are 2 PDFs and a JPG version, meant for 8.5×11 standard printing. I [...]
Hot: Gentle readers: Well, it’s happened. I done hit the big time. It’s only a matter of time before I’ve abandoned you to go sip expensive bottled waters on yachts and anal-retentively police my own wiki entry. What, might you ask, has caused this sudden surge in adulation for and popularity of yours truly? Well [...]
