Raw denim coffee cozy
Sunday, June 24th, 2007

I’ve always felt a little wasteful for heavily using those disposable coffee cup cozies, so I decided to make my own using scraps from tailored jeans.
Introducing the world’s first selvage coffee jacket!
Of course I used scraps from raw denim jeans that I had tailored, and I used the new chain stitch machine for all the [...]

This was Pride Weekend?
Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Oh crap… we thought it was Pirate Weekend. Well, pride is cool too.
I gave away tons of crap today and sold my Warhammer army for a billion dollars.
Below is an Exquisite Corpstrait of my roommate, Darius.

Garage sale today
Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Well, it’s not really a garage sale… first off it’s nowhere near a garage. Secondly, I’m giving away most of the stuff. But I will have some things for sale, like my Eldar Army! That includes three grav tanks, word up!
Here is the craigslist ad.
The plan was also to sit outside and do Exquisite Corpstraits [...]

The newest Anti-Yo/Yes, Absolutely collab?
Thursday, June 21st, 2007

After two months of preparation, I’m glad to announce my newest project is finally rolling. I’ve started doing tailoring for Kiya’s high end denim store Self Edge. Offering chain stitched hems has been very important to Kiya, so he contacted me to help him find an industrial machine. He had already picked out one, that [...]

At the foot of my loft bed is a shelving unit that I use to store most of my circuit bent instruments and musical toys. I snapped a photo today to show a few of the shelves. You can see my 10 Casio SK-1’s.

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Upon recently hearing about the ApeLad’s Re-Inking Thor Flickr group (via Big Time Attic [via Stwalley], I picked up my brush and started working.
The Re-inking Thor group has been all based around taking the original pencil art of the legendary Jack Kirby, encouraging individual artists to try their hand at inking it. The specific page [...]

Singing Telegram’s as unit of measure
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I think it’s time that we disposed of our outdated units of measurements.
I propose a new system based around the Singing Tele-Gram.
“The AXLerator appears to be heavy for a looping yo-yo but it’s only 1 Singing militelegram heavier than the Raider.”

It’s a popular name
Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Lately I’ve been busting my ass doing Go Games locally.
While I was doing one in San Jose on Tuesday, a car pulled up to me and rolled down it’s window. I was in front of a Best Buy yo-yoing while I was waiting for the next team to come by. The driver of the car [...]

Dreams of injured limbs
Monday, June 4th, 2007

I forgot to mention that the entire week before that gig at the Moscone Center last week, I was troubled with nightmares.
I guess because of where I am financially, this gig was pretty important to me, but I really wasn’t that worried about it. At least not while I was awake.
Each night I had [...]
