Black History Month Poster [PDF, 48k]
This is a poster I had created for an unnamed public university library to be displayed for the whole month of February. The communicative goal was to highlight the problem and present a call to action; in short—two races can both benefit with a little give and take. Please make good use of my creation for whatever you need; it's a bit large and is likely to require special printing (26.25" x 39.5"). The commissioner of the project had only said "make a poster," such vague terms could only bring failure as my poster was eventually vetoed "for being too provocative and too negative." Creative Commons License, attribution appreciated but not required. bitching, moaning and client war-stories are welcome :-)

The Salton Sea
I recently drove to the Salton Sea in the desert wastelands of South Eastern California. The trip took in Salvation Mountain, Slab City, and the communities surrounding the northern half of the sea; this project is a flickr photoset of the 90+ images with captions for each making a story of the trip.

Bulgarian Folk Orgy
MeFi's own mykescipark will be sharing way too much of what he loves about Bulgarian Folk music on on Harvard University's radio station, WHRB (95.3 FM / whrb.org) from 10pm Friday to 9am Saturday and 10pm Saturday to 11am Sunday. If you're not in the area, catch it streaming or revel at the oddity of the WHRB Orgy tradition.

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.

Metafilter Compilation Album released!
With Matt's blessing, I'm pleased to announce the official, discs-are-in-the-mail, order-yours-today release of the Metafilter Compilation Album—a collection of original tracks by 24 different mefite music acts, put together over seven or so months, with all profits going to charity. We've got about 800 more of these discs, and there's not much time until Christmas/Hannukah/HappyGiftDay.

Heavy Metal Concert Flyers from the late 80's
I scanned in my collection of Concert flyers from shows in the Boston Area circa 1989 - 1992.

Ass Dance Off
This is a little video I made. Took me maybe 45 minutes to shoot it, about a month and a half to edit, and maybe 10 minutes to fit into those pants, all for a minute-and-a-half of output. I also scored it myself, with some sound engineering from a friend. The website proper is still in the beta stages. People were screaming over it when in "premiered" at the non-juried show at the end of last semester. I don't really stand to gain anything by spreading the word around, I just think it might have a niche somewhere online.

The Dewey Donation System:
Since 2003, readers of pamie.com have donated hundreds of books and thousands of dollars to libraries and others in need through her annual book drive. This year, pamie joined forces with Glark of Television Without Pity (whose readers donated over thirty thousand dollars to help buy school supplies for children displaced by Hurricane Katrina through TWoP's Tubey's Kids program), to send books to several libraries in Harrison County, MI which were devastated by Katrina. There are some very moving letters from the librarians posted in the blog. I'm promoting them whenever possible and running a book drive for the site at my office.

FFUR--The Foundation for Feline Urban Rescue
This is the website for a volunteer-run cat rescue organization in Philadelphia. FFUR rescues cats and places them in loving homes throughout the Philadelphia region. Before being put up for adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, treated for any injuries or illnesses, tested for feline leukemia and HIV, and socialized to humans.

Machine Gum - comics by me!
A series of comics and experiments in funny pictures. Machine Gum is an outlet for me to play around in the medium of comics. It's not a webcomic per se since it's not confined to a singular narrative or format; it's more like a playground where I can have fun with the medium and with drawing silly things. Fun for the whole family!

Goblin Market
My theatre company, Folding Chair Classical Theatre, is about to perform short plays by Harold Pinter and Christina Rossetti. The Pinter play, "A Kind of Alaska," was written in 1982, based on Oliver Sacks's "Awakenings." The Rossetti piece, a poem (and erotic fairy tale) called "Goblin Market," was written over 100 years earlier, in 1862. The two pieces are linked in interesting ways. If you live in NYC, I'd love to see you at one of the performances. But since Metafilter members live all over the world, here's a FREE MP3 PERFORMANCE of "Goblin Market."

Compute mailing list is back, but isn't a mailing list, quite.
I'm so old school it hurts, and everything old is new again, so here's my latest attempt at reinventing Web 0.5. Once upon a time there was a mailing list full of geeky stuff (very geeky, some of it) that hardly anyone subscribed to. And then some idiot lost the mailman configuration. End result: a dozen geeks even lonelier than before (feel the self hate). Until now. Now they can get all the geeky goodness again, but in a new shiny blog format (it's what the cool kids were doing lastyear millenium, apparently). All the old stuff is there. And if you want a blog that you post to via email, written entirely in bash (runs on Cygwin too), with hardcoded directory names, then that's great, because the source is included.

Baby!
It is with great pleasure that I announce the follow up to this Ask Metafilter question from nine months ago (the original question was deleted, link goes to archival photo of the thread). Announcing the latest generation of Jonson!! This release features no Y chromosome, but is highly feature rich in terms of adorableness & comes factory loaded with good baby smell.

The Road Online
This site is part of a project to gather ambient sounds (sounds that happen to be in an environment) from locations mentioned in Kerouac's "On the Road" in order to create a sonic portrait of the big cities, small towns, backwoods, deserts and mountains that Kerouac visited and wrote about.
