Dance you Foxy Robots, DANCE!

OK- robots are hot. Anyone who debates this clearly needs an adjustment- or maybe they haven't seen the best video of the year. Foil and cardboard FOREVER!

Logan and I really like Be Kind, Rewind. Turns out that movie has created real culture. TRON culture. Thanks Dan

Reefer Madness

Coral reefs across the world are in trouble. I recently read that the slight increase in ocean temperatures is cause massive bleaching- not quite adie off, but almost. Superhero Helle Jorgensen has been organizing crochet troops to make crochet coral creatures. The whole thing debuts in New York on April 7th in 2 locations. It will be beautiful. Thanks Daniel.

Happy Easter

Nothing says "days are getting longer" than a big geodesic structure made of expanded corn syrup covered in FD&C yellow #8 sugar. Nicely Done Ms. EJ.

Wanna Web site?

Craft and social networking site Indie Public is up for sale. Current owner, Scion, sent out an email yesterday notifying users of the current for-sale status. Real life obligations got in the way, as they tend to, and so for a cool $18,500 own a little slice of internet pie.

Fine Craft vs. Indie Craft: an open dialog

I was passed a link to this discussion thread via Sabrina Gschwandtner who received it from Andrew Wagner. I highly recommend anyone who has interest, investment or pride about what we call "indie craft" to take a gander and give your two cents. And I second the suggestion of Annie who wrote the initial blog post who states "you might want to brew a cup of coffee before you sit down for this one . . ."
