David Rees, professional ne'er-do-well, former vampire impersonator and much lauded cartoonist has come up with perhaps the best service ever: hand sharpening your pencils for you. It's only $12.50 a pop.

Reggie Watts has the Technology

I love this Reggie Watts video. He is a human beatbox/singer extraordinaire/one man band. Just shows you what a little ingenuity and a few recording devices can do. He also has a new album out.

Die Garlic Mustard! Die!

Spring is upon us and in the north east it means time to eradicate the garlic mustard. As a preview to an article I would like to write on the invasive and evil weed I share with you a simple garlic mustard recipe for pesto: take 3 cups of garlic mustard leaves, 1 cup each: olive oil, walnuts, parmesan cheese, and 1 clove garlic. Pulse in food processor. salt and pepper to taste. Put on pasta. If you can't beat them, eat them.

Mail a Frisbee

Although I dislike playing frisbee evidently can just slap some postage on it and mail one. I love AmberLee's giver's log. Thanks to jettesette at G* for this!

Urban Farming in Albany

I always enjoy Laura Hartmark's blog but her post on R.U.S.T. (stands for Radical Urban Sustainability Training) is a great picture storybook for what is going on with urban farmers and those of us who wish we were urban farmers.

Win a house in Maine

The only catch is that you need to be an artist! Now since when has that been an advantage. An artist couple in Maine are having a contest to give away their house. Write a 4000 word essay and pay a $50 entry fee and you have a chance. What a great idea all the way around: someone gets a house, the owners make some money and are able to get rid of their house in a bum economy. I freaking love Maine.

Makeshift

I really like this. A woman in Vancouver is making all her clothes for the next year- shoes, socks, everything. It's called Makeshift. I also like that the camera is always positioned very low so she looks like a giant.

Then you will enjoy Mary Iverson's drawings on magazine spreads. If you don't know the conceptual Italian 70's architectural collective Superstudio then here you go.
