I think we can all agree that magnetic coupling is pretty cool. But in popular culture, when you say ‘transformer’, people automatically think of robots that turn into cars or dinosaurs and battle each other for control of the universe (which is also pretty cool). In an effort to bring the other kind of transformer some pop-culture recognition I drafted up a t-shirt and submitted it to threadless but it was, not surprisingly, rejected. I’ll probably silkscreen this by hand, unless more people might be interested in the shirt. Here is the current concept:
Along the same lines, I think bunnyhero should put his Snakes On A… design on a t-shirt as well.
decry.org was an irreverent, self-referential webzine that hit the ether in 2002, had a good run, fizzled out, and then just kind of sat there. The witty, self-depricating posts were lost in the poorly rendered archive and the front page was blank, devoid of any information about the site or useful wayfinding pointers. Truly, I had failed in my job as a Decry Pimp (my listed occupation on social networking sites).
Taking advantage of the weeklong summer vacation that just passed, I decided to don my pimp suit and get to work on decry.org.

The rainy season has come and gone, replaced by the blazingly hot, humid, and repressive summer. The days are now averaging around 35º C, sufficient enough heat to render yours truly into a lifeless piece of flesh lounging about in her underwear in front of two electric fans. Cold showers provide temporary relief from the oppressive heat, as does a trip to the local combini, where we can bask in the coolness of regulated temperatures while browsing for chocolates and canned oxygen. For extended relief we head to the river, whose cooling waters have an undisputed and rejuvenating effect on tired summer bodies. As it’s too hot to continue typing, the narrative will henceforth be strictly visual. » Continue Reading…
It’s been quiet around here, and I only have World of Warcraft to blame. I still bathe on a regular basis and haven’t given up my day job (yet), but I forget to eat and am incredibly moody when the server is having problems (more often than not on Kaz’goroth). » Continue Reading…
