so everyone should be watching transgeneration which su humorously but unkindly refers to as “tranny teens in trouble!” on logo. it’s their one bit of truly great programming. i teared up when lucas got his first man shot, and even more when gabbie’s grandmother explained the sitch to her church lady posse.

i’m getting weary of badly-researched accusations and barely-concealed snobbery being presented as design journalism.

thanks for advertising with SxSW 2006!

it is imperative that file be labeled with the advertiser’s name, ad size (and orientation, h or v, if half page), 4-color or b&w, and specific conference publication. this information is crucial for proper ad placement. please do not label your ad “sxsw_ad!”

the ftp directory contains 4 folders. locate your publication folder. locate the corresponding folder for your ad size and upload your stuffed or compressed file into that folder.

that worked out well. ha.

vladimir luxuria is reported to be an italian drag queen, but it seems like she’s actually a transsexual—she seems to be dressed in the feminine at all times.

luxuria is running for italian parliament, and is clearly not in it for the show.

“Parliament is not a theatre, it’s not a discotheque. It’s already revolutionary that a transgender gets into parliament. It wouldn’t be useful to provoke in such a stupid way.”

of course, she says this while wearing an orange pants suit, but what the hell do i know.

blythe, while looking strikingly like vladimir, is simply here for your enjoyment. i’m making no statement whatsoever, i swear.

i wish i knew how to quit you.

US Department of Labor outlook report for artists

let’s trot this tired old chestnut out of the closet again, shall we? the computer is not a danger to conceptual thinking. lazy designers are the fault of nothing more than lazy designers. calling a computer an enemy of design is a knee-jerk old guy reponse. weird considering this asshole seems to be all of 40 at most.

also, kind of scary to see the complete lack of critical writing skills in a supposed educator.
