Pen and Pixel: A Retrospective
On the infamous rap album cover design house. The scary thing is, they’re actually not that bad till around 1997, when they start getting crazy with the Photoshop. Arts & Culture   ·

Proofreaders’ marks
All my time editing, and I’ve never actually learned these. For shame. Interesting   ·

Should you build your own home?
Why not? I built this site from scratch (though I use MT to manage it). It’s my home online, and I want it to reflect something of myself; it’s hard to do that with a theme or skin that a thousand other people are using. Interesting   ·

MetaFilter links to The Story of SST Records
And possibly kills a wonderful blog where I found countless SST rarities simply unavailable elsewhere (without paying ridiculous collectors’ prices). Sound & Screen   ·

Wikipedia’s list of emoticons
The breadth of subtlety these things can convey is frankly astonishing. Arts & Culture   ·

Jim Henson on Making Muppets
One from the archives here, way back in 1969 at the birth of Sesame Street [c/o Boing Boing]. Arts & Culture   ·
