So, if you're attached to an old gad ...
How To: Speak Klingon
I attended a private party last night that was held in the wine room of a fancy restaurant. At first, I didn't know what to expect.

Drive-By Stencil Technology Makes Graffiti Art Fun & Fast
I think it's cute that the Looptaggr creators, Ariel Schlesinger and Aram Bartholl, are calling this "stencil technology" when it's really a DIY homemade "fast as hell" graffiti tagger. I haven't written an article about graffiti in a very long time because it's one of those activities that's kinda ...

Bored? Want a Light Show? Put a CD in the Microwave!
I love smashing, blowing up, destroying and burning things just to see what they look and feel like afterwards. I know, it's something teenagers do, but I can't help it. It's just hard to resist, and the fact that we aren't supposed to do it makes it even more fun.
Have you ever put a CD in the ...
