Thursday, May 14th, 2009I receive the most delightful/unnerving/occasionally-sticky notices in incoming email receptacle. (Which is why I always have hand-sanitizer at the ready.)

The Top Five Awful Star Trek Tattoos
Friday, May 8th, 2009Yes, fine, the new Star Trek movie is great. I saw it, I liked it, I periodically made gleeful sounds. Let’s not make a big thing of it.

Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Tattoo - GWS Reader Ink
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Lewis-Paul sent a carrier pigeon all the way from western Europe to drop a note in my electric mailbox about his “SHIELD logo from Marvel comics using the Ultimate emblem.”
