I highly recommend this online pharmacy...


Hello,

a surfeit of despair; and the man in him promptly shook off that
to keep the great gash in her starboard well above water, was
of a knife?

which the others chanted in chorus:


him, he found himself almost an object of worship in the eyes of
quarter-deck he came, toying with easy assurance, until he stood

iPod Shuffle?


Turns out, when I went to the Mac store to check out the Mac Mini, which will soon inhabit my Mini Cooper and my living room (to keep the Tivo company), I played with the iPod Shuffle. I was pretty suspicious that the shuffle feature was just a way to justify the lack of a display and I figured that a plastic little gizmo was cheap, not elegant.

I was wrong. Everyone I saw was talking about how they listen to music on shuffle anyway and everyone I saw was buying an iPod Shuffle. I'm going to buy one, though I don't see me using the shuffle feature. That ain't me.

It was wonderful to fiddle with and infinitely more sturdy feeling than it looked to me in photos online. It is a wonderful gadget. Get one. But, by the time you do, I'll have one. That IS me.

Circus Ponies NoteBook for Mac OSX


I just got a programme from versiontracker.com that has me all a-buzz and a-flutter. The programme is a little notebook maker with tabs and index pages and any number of cool features. It exports to HTML and you can save it to a public place and sync it between several workstations (a manual fix I realize). Anyway the programme is $20 to buy, and I'm still on my 30 trial period. I'm so far into using it I will certainly have to smack down the $20 or be heart broken. Check it out!

Circus Pony's NoteBook for OS X - Yes, it is a Mac programme. If you have a PC, well, you probably won't get to see what I mean. If you were to get a Mac, you'd see what I've been saying for a long time! But, hey, I don't get Tivo toGo yet so who am I to make a stand?

Who doesn't have a store these days?


tRick Salsman's first store where all manner of needless stuff is for sale. This is more or less an experimental (in terms of imagery) site.

R&R Wireless Cable Believe it or not, this was a business run by me and Ron Youngquist. Later, Ron would have something of an affair with my once-wife who would tell me she wanted to leave me for him, though he wasn't interested. It gets complicated, but ends even weirder when, while I was in jail on 80 counts of grand theft, he was beaten to death on a beach. He was a good friend, a bad enemy, and isn't there anymore. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

The Slow Poisoners Store The band has merchandise (better than this), but I put up some designs otherwise not available. Gotta love the infant creeper!

Ogner Stump and his sorrows The comic by Andrew Goldfarb lives in paperback and on into the future. Here you can get some stuff that would go nicely with a copy of the first Sorrows. Get THAT at Wonderells Printed.

vFinyl My production department was given an insane goal to produce one year. In a company that sputtered and flailed and failed to hit the rest of its goals, my department kicked some ass (kudos to those who did the work, you know who you are). As sure as we hit our goal, the other management decided that business meetings were too boring and wanted to make them entertaining. We set up vFinyl as a performance piece. In the end, we printed our target numbers on money (so people would read them and give a rip about them), threw 52 cards (51 actually) into the air, and spilled 500,000 beans onto a snare drum in a wash tub. The point? There wasn't much of a point except that I used to work in a company that would try to make business meetings "more fun" while the company spiraled into a shit-heap. Numbers and accuracy were always "too hard" or "uninteresting" and performance was what was demanded, though not rewarded. It was pathetic, really. vFinyl was a hoot, though. Video available upon request. Oh, yeah, F-you to those who deserve it (and you know who YOU are).

Set Studios Store They are not just a production company! These kids have their own merchandise sure as they have opinions about who gets to yell "cut" at the end of a scene. It is pretty Set-specific, but who needs a vanity-free Cafe Press store?

Gizmos and Gadgets


Gizmodo -This is one of the better blogs about the latest little (and big) things to keep the more geeky people I know happy.

Engadget - Pretty much the same deal as Gizmodo, but sometimes they break the stories first. In the end, the two overlap a good deal.

Hack A Day - a site to offer you a new way each day to void your warranties. It is fun, though not every hack is something you'd really try. It is often more fun just to know that someone else did what they report.

Think Geek - Think Geek is the place to go if you want to buy geeky stuff to keep your friends wondering where you get those wonderful toys.

Obvious Links


Editions Limited -this is where I work. In a world where art can become product and lose its heart, Editions keeps that from happening. The art is a cut above, the people are incredibly kind and compassionate, and I had no idea there could be such a place as this. Anyway, if you want to see what I do, you can try by looking here.

Inky Fingers -Inky Fingers, Inc. was my business for many years. The web came right about the time Inky Fingers became Central Studios and then went away. A lot of what I am now comes from my experiences at Inky Fingers, though this site is mostly the remnants of sites I started and then abandoned before the year 2000. Some of the sites get many thousands of hits per day still.

Homestar Runner -The funniest site on the web. These guys get it and, I get jealous watching them do what they do. God, I'm glad they are there to do it.

The Slow Poisoners -This is the band I have done some graphic work with and some animation work, but most of all I have had the great pleasure of listening to the tunes. Have a look and then have a listen.

Set Studios -Here the Salsmillergame kids make movies, write stories, keep blogs, and generally chase after the fame and fortune that we all seek.
