A Birthday Wish....

As a birthday present to me the former Mayor of Pancake City has changed his blog masthead to say FREE BORF. Thanks MonkeyOnKeyboard!

I think it's a great idea, so I did the same. If anyone else wants to take part I've included an image below. Send me a link if you change your masthead and I'll post it here.

Warh-Blog Needs Your Help!....

the Warh-Blog is looking for help from people familiar with blogging (wordpress in this case) to help upload content. If you are interested in helping out in a small or large capacity please email evan[at]ni9e.com. I would love to keep this project going but it is proving too much of a task for one person alone.

I am very excited to say that the GRAFFITI RESEARCH LAB is live and opperational.

"The Graffiti Research Lab is dedicated to outfitting graffiti writers and artist with open source technologies for urban communication. G.R.L. agents are currently working in the lab and in the field to develop and test a range of experimental technologies for the state-of-the-art graffiti writer."

The GRL is a creation of the Eyebeam OpenLab, and includes active members fi5e, resistor, Q, Agent 005, and mega-Ohm-Resistor.
