Above: Check out the Nixie Clock that my friend Parki made from nixie tubes (old vacuum tube displays). The clock uses the Make Controller's Ethernet capabilities to go online and check what the time is via Network Time Protocol. Read all about it in this Making Things post, where the clock is currently being featured. See Pull-Pull-Twist-Turn for info about Parki's other projects.

The Alphabet Game: A bpNichol Reader

I've posted an interview with Lori Emerson, one of the co-editors of The Alphabet Game: A bpNichol Reader on blogTO. I first grew curious about bpNichol when I discovered that the street behind Coach House Press in the Annex is called "bpNichol Lane" and read that an employee at Coach House regularly waters the word "LAKE." Not only did bpNichol write for Fraggle Rock (anyone remember that show?) but he also won the Governor General's Award for Poetry.

More acrylic paintings

I've some more paintings up in my Etsy store: one 6" x 6" painting and two tiny 2.75" x 2.75" paintings. All three are part of my Little Nightmare series. Click on any image below to see the corresponding Etsy page/info. I've also tweaked some of the prices in my shop this week.

The mini-paintings (if you'd like, I can include a magnetic strip to turn these into unique fridge magnets):

Mini Snowdance 2.75" x 2.75"

Mini Monster Family 2.75" x 2.75"

Little Nightmare: Snowdance (acrylics on 6"x6" canvas board)

Please note that I'm only shipping until this Friday. Any orders placed after that will be shipped in the New Year.
