Hoopla! comic book reviews
My friend Paul once had a weekly review column at Comic Book Galaxy. Now he's on his own, covering DC, Marvel, Image, Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Joss Whedon, and others. Plus, he's funny.

24 Bingo
I love the show 24, despite its flaws. In fact, I enjoy reveling in those flaws. I've created a quickie random bingo-card page for my friends and me to print out and use throughout Day 6. You can play at home, too!

A life-sized bust of Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, made out of snow.
Albuquerque's seen record snowfall this week, and being snowed in, I decided to make the best of it by creating a life-sized bust of Alan Turing out of snow. Enjoy!

The healing power of placebo
Did you know that the sweet potato is a natural source of placebo? Or that the multinational drug companies are consipiring to keep the potent chi energy of dehydrated distilled water a secret? Of course you didn't, because none of it is true. Hopefully it's at least slightly amusing though.

Wikipedia: Think Free
I designed some posters for Wikipedia's store. They're mashups of Wikipedia text and photos of Walt Whitman, the Earth from space, etc.

Get a First Life
My one-page satire site of Second Life, because I'm a little tired of all the hype. More on why I made it.

Poetwii - Nintendo-inspired verse
Poetwii is a fun little Wii-related site I put together. Each weekday I'll write and post bite-sized bits of verse based on games, news/happenings, and using the Wii in general.

Sean Puckett | Art | Photography
I quit my high paying day job as a handheld device software ninja to focus full time on photography, art and the algorithms to make those pesky pixels do what I want. After years of part-time and six months of full time effort with camera, compiler and image processor, I'm starting to find a voice and feel confident about my work. Here is my main gallery. If you like what you see and want to follow along, my photoblog (main link) exhibits one new image per day.

Balloon Based Aerial Photography
My father used to be a professor, and then he decided he would fly balloons for a living. His photos have been used in advertising, presented in court, and shown in galleries. They are most often used, in conjuction with 3D renderings, to show the visual impact of proposed architechtural projects (from cell-towers in southern Virginia to skyscrapers in Manhattan). But this post is about the ooh-ahh factor. See DC, San Francisco, and New York from a new angle.

Online Farmers' Market System
After running my local online farmers' market for five years using a mess of bastardized open source php projects and unsuccessfully trying to get other markets to follow my steps, I finally re-wrote the entire system from the ground up as a fully hosted, drop-dead simple, ruby on rails application. In less than 15 minutes, a market (or a single grower) can go from nothing to selling produce to local customers.
My own market was moved over to the new system this week. You can find it at athens.locallygrown.net.
In the several months it took me to write this, several other groups of growers followed closely behind, using what I had working to get their own markets started. In the upcoming months, you'll find markets across the country using this system. And judging from how it's changed the way people in north-east Georgia buy locally grown food, it may do for locally grown produce what Amazon.com has done for books.

A Year in Comics
I'm drawing a page of comics once a day for the rest of the year. Most of them so far are autobiographical—things that have happened to me on that particular day. They're somewhat crude, but the quality is guaranteed to improve. They're also viewable as this Flickr set. Comics are usually posted late in the day, because I don't manage my time well.

Wong Kar-Wai calendar
A collection of monthly calendars made by members of wongkarwai.net, where each calendar contains visual elements sourced from and inspired by the work of filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai. A new calendar is added at the beginning of every month. Calendars are nice partly because WKW's films are often about time and memories, but mostly because it provides a timeframe and each volunteering artist gets to make something within a month. For 2007, each person will pick one non-WKW director and do a mashup. I made the January 2007 calendar (GIF) featuring WKW and Peter Greenaway, combining 2046 and Prospero's Books.

San Francisco bicycle route planner
This Yahoo maps mashup will calculate the best route by bicycle between any two addresses/intersections in San Francisco. It takes elevation and bike lanes into account. Bug reports / suggestions are welcome. I've only tested it on IE / Firefox for Windows thus far.
