Podcast: Toys, toys, toys!

By Tinz in Audio, Features, Podcast at March 15, 2010 – 1:28 pm

In this, the seventh episode of the Octacast, we discuss everyone’s favorite childhood toys! My only disappointment is that due to shows at iO I was unable to offer my two cents and discuss my favorite toy growing up: a 4-foot-tall replica of a McDonalds.

McDonalds playset!

Yeah, it was like this. Except that it opened up from the middle, was way more badass, and didn't contain a child.

Needless to say, there is some excellent discussion within that brought back a lot of memories. Also, hear how Marc and Mikula are awful foodcrafters, and listen to another one of Keith’s stories that proves that growing up Tennessee sure isn’t what we’re used to. Enjoy!

Ten Haiku Written By Trees

By Tinz in Articles, Features at March 12, 2010 – 12:06 pm

I wrote these all yesterday afternoon. If you didn’t think it was possible to write ten different tree haiku, then I guess I just proved you wrong. Eat those words. Om nom nom.

Anyway, enjoy.

Tree.

I will get us more time to sleep. With science.

By Tinz in Articles, Features

All too often I find myself staying up too late at night and not getting as much sleep as I should as a result. Throughout my entire adult life I have struggled with the dilemma of how much fun I have at night versus how tired I can afford to feel in the morning. This [...]

SpongeBob Squarepants is a hideous monster.

By Tinz in Articles

For reasons unknown, I happened upon a Spongebob Squarepants Facebook group yesterday. A few fan-submitted pictures caught my eye. They are disgusting. Enjoy.
