I have a new hobsession (obsession/hobby), it’s watching the Crate Digger Death-match votes as they come in. I tend to keep a tab open and check the current CDD poll status as I’m waiting for another page to load. It’s been exciting, Bomarr had an early lead, but D-Form has had a slow, but steady [...]

Those who called me anytime in the last three years have probably heard some sort of cell phone jingle consisting of me, my guitar, and a well placed cell phone, but I’ve never been able to [...]
I have a busy weekend ahead of me at this years Maker Faire. I will be teaching various workshops and running a Cartoonist Conspiracy table, but the single most exciting thing for me this year is going to be judging the Cassette Jockey World Championships.
The event, which takes place this Saturday, is being organized by [...]
