• Commented on Design the Hugo Award logo, win $500 and a ticket to WorldCon
  @7 Actually, it is spec work. You'd be completing a design with the hope of being paid, and underpaid at that. Many of those submitting won't be paid at all. Volunteering is entirely different. At least if you volunteer, you...

• Commented on Bank pushing 120% APR loans
  Alright, Cory, it was cute the first time. But, if these shenanigans continue, we may need to consider removing your blink tag button....

• Commented on Trailer Park Boys: Big Plans, Little Brains
  Oh man! So excited this show is getting some credit on Boing Boing. I've been trying to save up to buy the DVDs for some time. I want to get them for everyone I know as gifts. Good stuff...
• Commented on Mr E's beautiful blues
  I've been looking for this for some time; though never very hard. Thank you for the link....
• Commented on Hierarchy of Beards: the evolutionary history of face-fur
  My wife made nearly the exact same print about mustaches a little over a year ago. Literally, almost the same layout with the scroll thing underneath the portraits. She just sold hers locally, never put it online. It just amazes...
• Commented on Caption this. No, seriously.
  Definitely not the shocker. As others have mentioned, this is ASU's "pitchfork" symbol. Check the tutorial: http://www.asu.edu/about/everywhere/...
• Commented on Shepard Fairey's Orwell covers -- books now on sale!
  Shepard Fairey? Meh....
• Commented on Italians choosing pasta over pizza
  Sure. During World War II, pennies were made of steel to save copper for the war effort. People tend to change real quick when needed. http://coins.about.com/od/uscoins/f/silver_pennyFAQ.htm...

• Commented on Anthropomorphic carrot
  Holy cow! The carrot army is everywhere. Here's one I found about a year ago, that I converted to a Viagra advertisement as a class project: http://www.ashadeofgrey.net/ctlw/assets/projects/Message-Design.jpg...

• Commented on Vanishing Of The Bees documentary
  Papyrus? Nooo! Seriously though, this is a great idea for a documentary and looks really well done. I hope it is funded so it's finished as well....
• Commented on Video of YAPMM (Yet Another Perpetual Motion Machine)
  If this is a perpetual motion machine, why isn't it running when the video starts? I suppose he had to demonstrate how it works, but if I got one started, I'd certainly not want to shut it off. I suppose...

• Commented on Universal Music CEO: Record industry can't tell when geeks are lying to us about technology
  It's hard for me to fathom that a record exec wouldn't want to entirely cut the cost of pressing records. Selling MP3s is way more cost effective than selling CDs. Even if Mr. Morris doesn't know this, it seems he's...
• Commented on How to stop restaurant tip fraud
  It's kind of amazing to hear all these stories. I had a really shitty waiter at an Applebees in Arizona once. So, naturally, I left him a .37 tip. (Yes, I realize this is extremely rude, but this guy deserved...
• Commented on BB's "Favorite this!" feature now working again
  I definitely would like to see an RSS, or other functionality. Is this data being displayed anywhere? If not, what's the point in favoriting? Thanks for the wonderful blog and new features though....
• Commented on Radiohead DRM-free "box-set"
  "But if that's the case, how come Radiohead isn't on iTunes, when other EMI artists are?" Perhaps, and this is pure speculation, their contract states that mp3s can only be distributed as an entire album. If that were the case,...
• Commented on Radiohead DRM-free "box-set"
  Radiohead are a bunch of cash-cows, and EMI is there to cash in. Half the fun in buying a new (or old) Radiohead CD is thumbing through Stanley's artwork while listening to the music. Not tempting in any way. I'll...

• Commented on Boing Boing tv: Ask "Simpsons" director David Silverman
  What mistakes have you made that you think others could learn from? Do you have any pointers for those just getting into the field? Any advice for students? How do you deal with plagiarism? At what point does inspiration become...
