I’ve never heard comedy with quite this pace. And the music is oddly good too.

The best thing said about this hasn’t been said by me: This is how dangerous trip-hop must have sounded before it became car ad music.
Greetings
I’d like to say a quick hey there to DIY fans from BoingBoing.net and ProQuo.com who are discovering the blog by way of my junk mail blinds article.
Here are a couple more junk mail tips for you:
- Pick up a traverse rod at your local hardware store and make verticle blinds with the same strips of junk mail. I now have one set of either in my bedroom.
- Lampshades. Try to use compact fluorescent bulbs — they run cooler, and are better for the environment. (And contain only 1/100th the mercury of a household thermometer, so we’d best get over that please… Remember to recycle them, also at your neighborhood hardware store, too.)
Finally, I’ll be moving to either LA or San Franciso at the end of September, based largely on whether either produces a good bite on a job. Please contact me by any of the means on the main page if you happen to have any leads for me. Shukriya!

And a reminder that Massive Attack’s Mezzanine album should have been listed as a Current Addiction as well.

Theatre of Tragedy’s “Storm” album
I’ve been hitting Massive Attack’s Mezzanine pretty hard lately too, but was too lazy to give it its own Current Addiction.

It’s always hard to find music you really like.
Gawker Steals My HR Comic
How sarcastically flattering.
Here is Gawker’s featured shirt of the day:
And here is the very first Human Resources comic strip, number 1 of 41, from September 2004:
Here’s how it works. The HR comics were popular with my fellow grunts at the job that inspired them, and were widely circulated on MySpace. (They still get a few dozen hits a month.) Someone saw the strip, liked the punchline, and submitted it to Gawker. They couldn’t spell children.
I guess I should be a little flattered that it was voted highly enough to get a shirt made.
But at least when design firm Pylit liked my Tape Case Bike Light, they were decent enough to pay me to rewrite the article for them.

Longer and less plot-heavy than the first series. Great for chilling out with some weights and stretches before bed.

Older Archive
For older Space Toast Pages (weekly “Issues”), please go to www.spacetoast.net/stp/previousindex.html. I’m working on bringing these into the new STP system, starting with the most popular and my personal favorites, and eventually running back to issue 112, but it may take some time.
STP Relaunched
The Space Toast Page has become the Space Toast Pages, a “journal of journals” on Rasmussen’s various obsessions and experiments. The weekly issue format has been discarded in favor of a categorized, feed-friendly, commentable series of blogs and sub-blogs running on the free and open source Blosxom content management system. Thank you as always for reading, and welcome back!
