The Jurassic Meets NYC, Sorta
Nothing makes me smile like a clever take on a boring subject. Take mobile shredding and demolition debris removal for example. These pics aren’t mine but I’ve spotted both these beasts around the city.
The dynamic artwork of the Shreddersaurus impresses the h*ll out of me. I can almost hear him pulp’ifying the paper. He works [...]

Spirograph vs. Me Round 2
I was up before the chickens this morning and found myself with little to do so I decided to take another crack at the Spirograph. Things worked out a little better for me than the frustrating initial attempt a week or two ago.
For starters, I found some pens in my desk that worked much better [...]
