Going off the grid for a week and change May 1, 2010 by Super UserThis is my last post for a week or so. The image gives you a good idea of where I will be and what I will be doing. I’m not bringing anything electronic beyond my MP3 player and beloved noise-cancelling headphones, so forget about reaching me. If asked what I do, it’ll be: “I do …

Pit-bull lawyers about to be released on DSE (kidding) March 4, 2010 by Super User My crack legal team is working furiously on an image rights case after the flagrant, unauthorized use of my image by DSE at the show last week.
