PulpFiction was great. Cyndicate was even better. But now neither are really no more, and it's only a matter of time before Cyndicate stops working.

REM Unplugged from Record Store Day on Vimeo. I oarked just as the store opened, walked in just after the last person who had waited in line entered, and snagged the only copy of R.E.M. Unplugged that the store had. I was back in my car and on the road again within three minutes. So… […]

MAKE has a story on How I Got My Job as a Lego Designer. If I had known that was a thing, I may have beat him to the punch… Gosh I loved playing with Lego as a kid.
