    Noisebot.com is selling is his “You Have Dysentary” design, which looks exactly like this:

    Hoodies and tote bags are also available.

  • go buy a shirt

    Congratulations to my brother Kyle, who got a shirt printed on Threadless earlier this week.
    He usually asks for my first impressions and criticism on designs before he submits them, and I remember telling him to add the “pen” point to the feather, making it a quill. So I definitely deserve an assist on this […]

  • original aspect ratio is your friend

    I’ll admit that I had to get a Playstation 3 this holiday season, but not for games. There are a fair amount of movies that I wanted to see on the Blu-ray high definition video format, but there was no way that I was going to pay ~$1000 for a compatible player. I mean, […]

  • wii love news

    Some great stories involving the Nintendo Wii have surfaced in the last few days. Like Steven Colbert, “I gots me one,” and it is disarmingly fun. But onto the news…
    Bob Somers has rigged up a Wii remote/Wiimote hack that allows you to use the device on a PC as a drum machine. […]

  • tragedy

    I’d been following the James Kim story since engadget first posted a notice that he was missing last Thursday.  Since then, Digg has featured over 30 updates detailing the search for Kim and his family on its front page. With great sadness, it was reported this afternoon that Kim’s body was found in the Oregon wilderness.  […]

  • five years later

    I don’t have anything poignant to say about 9/11 or its five year anniversay.  I feel like I should, but it just isn’t there.  At any rate, I found the piece that Mackenzie did on 9/11 very interesting.  9/11 was a huge national crisis, but I think we sometimes lose sight of the small issues […]

  • lights out

    Last night Zach and I were enjoying the second disc of Undeclared, when we were were interrupted by a ceasing of electricity.  This occurred around 11:28 p.m., and we still weren’t tired enough to sleep, so we jumped in the Prius and explored the city, seeing just how many people (probably) shared our anger at […]

  • des moines trip, day 2 part 1

    Long day, longer update later. Thought I’d check in after reading Liz’s blog post for today. I got appeasment after sending the e-mail in question. Snakes on a Plane was a stupid movie idea that should not be celebrated in any way. I’m completely glad it bombed. Also, the whole […]

  • unsolicited advice, part II

    So no Soriano. I can completely understand not mortgaging the future for a 2 month rent-a-player, but sometimes you just have to throw your hat over the wall.

    Maybe we’ll be able to pick up this guy on waivers…

  • hello cliche

    If you’re reading this, you’ve either found my blog on it’s first day of being, or you’ve scanned through my many posts and have somehow reached the end.  In either case, I thank you!  I plan on using this site to collect my thoughts and photos, as well as chart my progress through the myriad of […]
