Feral beagles are terrorizing Long Island (yes, they’re the  ones with the short legs…)

Yes, really, the first print is up for auction now!  This is your big chance to get in before the hoards discover it… (yup, that means no bids yet.) Of course, I didn’t really sell it in the copy – this is something of a test case; but as the sales copy gets more creative [...]

It’s when the artist declares that the piece has achieved all his or her artistic goals (possibly the masterpiece of a lifetime) and the rest of us are left without words that things start to get interesting.

Can’t get enough of those dang ‘prove you’re human’ Captcha’s?  How about a Dream Captcha
You can stop being [...]

I think [...]
