Silkscreening has gone the way of the acetate record… We have more technologicaly advanced ways of printing, but we are still making screens. Everyone can burn a CD now-a-days, but the allure of the needle on the record keeps pulling. How to Screen Print a Poster. Start to Finish! is a great way of seeing how it’s done. Cool.

Golf? is a simple golf game where the object of the game is to push the ball to the hole. You were expecting that, right? Well, the nice part about it is the graphics… It’s as if you were playing inside a Radiohead song. Too cool for words, download the demo, forgive the beta clunkiness, and enjoy the ball traces after that hard drive.
