    It's OK

    Chicago artist, Sighn, figures it will take about 60 years to hand cut a million of these pieces. And that's exactly what he's set out to do. The first 500 will be sold in 2007 and only 71 are available for $2o a pop. He made a video of the painstaking process. I think I might pick one up. Check it out here!

    Little Radio - Summer Block Party

    So I'm back, sorry for the super long break. My editing chops feel a bit rusty, but I hope you don't notice. Dave Conway owns and operates "LittleRadio.com" it started out as a small pirate radio station and has now grown into a major multimedia enterprise. During the summer, Dave opens up his studio to the public and hosts summer block parties and free concerts. On this Sunday afternoon, "Hello Astronaut, Goodbye Television" and "Future Pigeon" performed. What a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Watch the video here! [1:38 / 9.5MB QT] Thanks to Brandy Flowers & Mike C. of "Hit & Run" and Dave Conway.

    David Flores - Artist

    I know I said no more of the vinyl figures, but since I shot this last week and I left the video posting for this week on my hard drive at work, I had no choice. David Flores is probably best known for his skateboarding designs but has most recently lent his iconic style to the world of "Dunnies." Some love him, some hate him, some call him "Sam." You decide. Check out the video here! [1:54 / 11.5 MB QT]

[3:05 / 17.9MB QT] Hey Pam! It's your video debut! And to the haters I encountered. Eat me. [0:20 / 2 MB QT]

    Help Support Acme Gamestore on Feb. 27!

    If you're free this Monday night, you might want to go to this event and help out a few good guys. "Acme Game Store is owned by Jason Jones and Jonathan Bryant. They sell video games. Why? Because video games are fun... On December 12th approximately eight ICE (some new law enforcement agency attached to Homeland Security) agents raided Acme Game Store in riot gear with shotguns in hand. They confiscated 3 modified XBOXs and all Microsoft games in bulk. They have each been charged with a felony account of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and for violating "The Digital Millennium Copyright Act." The charge of conspiracy carries a maximum penalty of 17 years in federal prison. 17 f****n years in prison. Think about that. For allegedly selling a video game system that had been modified...a video game system. "Yo man? Whach ya in for?" C'mon..." If you haven't seen the piece I did on Acme, you can check it out here.
