Not Onion-level satire, but still kind of funny.

70’s/80’s Promotional Beer Sweaters
Thursday, March 26, 2009
I don’t know if Flickr user AJ Fosik is also super fantastic artist AJ Fosik, but I do know this: this Flickr collection of promotional beer sweaters from the 1970’s and 80’s took the express rocket from Planet Awesomesauce to punch me in the gut with HolyShitINeedThisness.

RE/Search to Publish First Arse Elektronika Anthology: pr0nnovation?
Friday, September 19, 2008
For the last two years, it’s been my pleasure to work with my friends from monochrom on collateral and identity components for Arse Elektronika, their now yearly conference covering issues relating to the intersection of sex and technology. This year’s theme is “Do Androids Sleep With Electric Sheep? Critical Perspectives on Sexuality and Pornography in [...]
Goodreads Review » Random Acts of Senseless Violence
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Random Acts of Senseless Violence by Jack WomackRating: 5 of 5 starsHard to believe that this book was published 13 years ago. In fact, the bleak state of affairs depicted by Womack is so potentially on the verge of coming true that it can be a downright uncomfortable read at times. But don’t let [...]
Banksy Unmasked?
Thursday, July 17, 2008
I’m saddened to see that Britain’s Daily Mail just published an investigative piece that has likely turned up the true identity of street art phenom Banksy.

Friday, April 11, 2008

The Art of G.I. Joe: 1982-1985
Thursday, February 22, 2007
As with most dudes who grew up in the early 80’s, I was a total, maniacal G.I. Joe freak. But I was also poor, so I never got any of the high-end toys like the Skystriker or the legendary, huge aircraft carrier, the USS Flagg. Hell, as far as I know nobody ever even saw [...]
