Last weekend one of my friends asked me to show her how to screenprint - something that I did quite a bunch of in college, so I set things up and gave her a little workshop on how to do it. It was right after Randy's web imaging presentation, where he used one of .tiff.'s new vox header designs. So I stole tiffs header (or maybe she gave me the photoshop files) and made a screenprint stencil out of it. The process from computer to screen stencil is sort of long and involved, but the point I'm trying to get at is that I ended up with a matrix of tiff's design, and printed a few t-shirts
A bunch of people have asked me about them and if they could get one, so I thought it would be much more fun to let people print up their own. So tomorrow at foobar (assuming there is a foobar) I'll bring in the matrix and some light blue ink (like in the picture). If you bring in a t-shirt - i think it'll look good on brown or white or dark blue - I'll show you how to print it up. It doesnt take very long (maybe 5-10 minutes), it doesnt even take too long to dry, and its not super messy. Once its dry you just need to iron it and the ink will fix and it can be washed like any of its t-shirt kin.
It wont be perfect and has a really DIY quality to it most of the time, so dont bring your most favorite shirt in the whole world. And if youre like Lilia and are not a t-shirt kind of person, you can screen print on just about anything, paper, fabric, your computer, your dog. Okay, maybe not your dog.
this is what happens to the BAD office chairs.
Now that alot of stuff is launched though, its gotten a little bit better.
Good job everyone!

I found this great VHS tape from 1995 in a free box in the mission. I havn't watched it since I dont have a VCR (what's that?) but I'm sure its a crowd pleaser. The box says it will teach how to: "Find useful documents using Gopher" and "Access other computers using File Transer Protocol" as well as "Post on Internet Bulletin Board Systems." I gave it to Beau in appreciation of all the saving my ass he's done so far.
Most of you have met Dog, the Marketing Department's Aquatic Companion (MDAC), or at least know about him due to last week's brush with airy destiny (he jumped into my pen cup).
What you probably don't know is that I brought the plants in from my 20 gallon tank at home. My tank at home has a little bit of a problem. A snail problem. What started out as three snails, quickly became five trillion snails. I dont like to kill things but I can at least justify a little natural selection. I bought teeny tiny puffer fish that eat baby snails. So they, at least take care of the next generation and have a nice escargot meal at the same time.
You also may not know that snails lay eggs. It looks like clear jelly most of the time and it sticks to plants and you usually dont see it. You just get surprised by trillions of nearly microscopic baby snails about two weeks later.
Getting back to the point, these plants that I brought from home. I just noticed they have snail egg jelly alllllll over them. So I estimate that in about a week I will have at least 40 baby snails on my hands. They're sort of facinating and fun to watch. Maybe you'd like some of your very own? They'd live pretty well in a cup of water for a bit. You could take breaks and watch them. You could dress them up as your favorite star wars character and watch them battle. You could paint their shells bright colors and sneak them into that bag of skittles on your office mates desk. Otherwise, honestly, they'll probably get flushed.
Check back at my desk in a week and see if you fall in love with one of the little gastropodic wonders.
