WHY HULK-MARG MAD (AND THEREFORE SMASH)
A slideshow I made to express how I feel about Sony's "OMG Girlz Play Too" ad campaign.

Julie Dermansky in Iraq
Embedded with the Louisiana National Guard in Basra and Baghdad, artist and photographer Julie Dermansky documents Saddam's Flintstone village, fishing tournaments, a Mardi Gras parade, and cheerleaders at Camp Victory. I especially like her Christmas and New Year's Eve portraits. (Julie on flickr)

The Silicon Dawn Tarot
Detours are strange. Sometimes detours are lengthy and worthwhile. A year ago, I was about to dive head-first into a graphic novel, and I ended up getting diverted into doing a Tarot deck instead. Now it's done (except for the extra cards that I found in my head during the process, and hunting down a publisher), it's gotten me my first gallery show, and taught me... something about persistence, I guess. Once I recover, it's back to the comic.

Bizarre Grandville Illustrations Archive
JJ Grandville, a French cartoonist in the mid 1800's drew some deeply weird stuff. I've got some old books of his drawings and, noticing the paucity of his presence on the internet, decided to scan a bunch of it and stick it online, free of use to anyone (the man having died more than a hundred and fifty years ago). The resulting archive is here (and actually only about a quarter of what I've physically got, I'm trying to build up energy for a second round of scanning sometime soon). It's part of a miscellany section on my finally finished website. The misc section also has some collections of old folding postcards and my Syrian stamp collection. And hey! I've got comics and illustrations (that I've done) up there too!

Things People Have
This MeTa thread was chatting up the idea of swapping around hometown-specialty-style stuff, so I spent a few hours throwing together a site where people could list things from their area that they're willing to ship or trade or the like. If you're interested, you hit them up through MeFi Mail and exchange is born! How else are strangers going to ship you possibly-poisonous local goods?

I Drink Your Milkshake!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have traveled over half our state to get here this evening. I couldn’t get away sooner because my new site was coming in at idrinkyourmilkshake.com. That site is now flowing at two thousand hits per day, and it’s paying me an income of five thousand dollars a week. So — Ladies and Gentlemen — if I say I’m a web man, you will agree. Discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood or just keep hitting the play button to hear Daniel Day-Lewis bark the line that has already been called "the new 'Say hello to my little friend!'"

I filter the gossip so you don't have too. I cover all the basics from Britney to Punk to the Hills to our friends south of the border. You don't need to visit twenty sites to find the good stuff. Let me tell you what you need to see.

Project Prostitute [NSFW]
"I wanted to see a prostitute drawn by my grandmother, or my math teacher." My 17 year old sister's pet project for the last three weeks. I put the scans online and built the website from the ground up. Drawings come from her schoolmates, friends, relatives. One comes from New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. See if you can spot it!

No, really, I'm not looking at Metafilter while at work
A userstyle that turns Metafilter into the white-background, black-text, grey-linked, no-siderbar, no-image kind of drabness you associate with the everyday work environment. Great for over-the-shoulder monitor snoopers, poor for over-the-network domain snoopers.

Blues Name Generator
Riffing on an old idea/joke that came up in Metatalk today, I've put together this little blues name generator. Because why should Leukemia Sweet Pepper Tyler have all the fun?

Trailers Undone
Pithy analyses of all the latest movie trailers, cast in terms of archetypes, subgenres, and marketing strategies. I do this without actually watching the movies in question (that would be cheating). The more cinema-savvy readers will be able to consistently identify the rationale behind the use of the corresponding images, which are never from the movies being discussed.
