My all time favorite stupid brainstorm idea is about a distro "hiring" the Art Team of a competing distro to help with their advertising, but for today's issue I stole another one from Rahul, just as hilarious in its cyclicity: brainstorm idea about making developers to give a shit about b...

This shit will fuck you up!...

I produce a YouTube show about media literacy/criticism. Right now we post weekly, on a schedule which is driving me insane. Does frequency of publishing new content matter (whether it's for a blog, a podcast, a comic, etc) so long as you publish regularly? Could I do it every other week or monthly ...

Filed under: Culture Weve decided to take a cue from the apparently reviled controls from the Resident Evil 5 demo and throw our multitasking abilities to the wind While some of you might find this odd or worse impossible to read weve found that not being able to use words and punctuation simultaneo...

Heliothaumic. Kind of Victorian flavored Shadowrun. Sort of. With lesbians. And hats. The art reminds me some of Faith Erin Hicks also.
