this pencil don’t push for free

Recently Digg’d: From a posted reply on CraigsList in Chicago [a mirror, the original is already pulled]: Every day, there are more and more CL posts seeking “artists” for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service. But what [...]

lop it off… maybe

In North America the stigma of the accusation of sexual misconduct is all it takes to essentially ruin your life.

the ‘D’ is for Dumb

I can only stand and applaud. Simon Houpt’s Golbe and Mail article, ‘H’ For Hypocrisy, is a clean breath of critical fresh air. He points a steady and damning hand at the MPAA and Hollywood, spelling out what we have long intuited but could not put into words. The system may have started out altruistic, [...]

take it to them

Sooner or later there will come a rock solid technology that lets the layman take the war to the scammers and spammers. This will spawn a whole new industry, where people will happily pay a few dollars to add their strength to the masses in global retaliation against spammers and scammers. I wouldn’t think twice [...]
