| In the Fall of 2004 I was asked by the Industrial Design department at University of the Arts in Philadelphia to speak. My presentation, culled from powerpoint, is available here for your viewing pleasure. –> View milkcrate lecture here. The presentation was a hit, and the students asked a slew of questions afterwards. |

| This is way long overdue on this site. Don Kahler made this video that shows some of the process and thought behind my milkcrate stage from the SPACE1026 ICA show earlier this year. Watch the video, and big thanks to Don Kahler for letting me post it. Small version (5.5 Mbs) Hi-Res (15.5 MBs) |

| One of the best things that I’ve gotten this year is this stapler. I know that doesn’t seem too exciting to most people. But, as a zine making person, staplers hold a special place in my heart. I’ve always used the long arm variety, and I don’t intend to give up on that trusty friend. But, this new guy and his compact, transformative magic will most definitely change my mobile work habits. I can throw this guy in my backpack with no worries. The only drawback is that this - it uses the compact No.10-1M mini staples. You can only get through 15 pages or so. I’m sure I’ll push that limit. All this and it’s cheap, under $10. |

| I’ve been hard at work on yet another new project. Zinebox.org. It’s a zine review and catalog site. The goal is to create a comprehensive archive of zines both past and present. If you are interested in contributing, drop me a line. I am currently looking for reviewers and sweet zine collections to get up on the site. At this time, I’m archiving my personal collection. There is a secondary effort of zinebox. The idea is that there would be free zine boxes located in multiple locations that offer a free trade zine system. Take a zine - leave a zine. More on this as it develops. |

After almost 12 years, Milkcrate #2 has been re-issued. This is a remaster, not just a simple re-copy. The cover is the same, from the original print run. 2-Color copy toner on baby blue cardstock. These won’t last too long, so get them now. Milkcrate #8 has undergone some technical testing, and hits the copy machine next week.

The AFBL season is winding down, work moves along.
Milkcrate Digest #8 should be done in a few short weeks, also getting back issues out. Look for Issue #2, and #1 coming soon after the new issue hits, maybe even before.
Big Kids/Little Kids is in the final stages. I have just a handful of people to finalize and then it’s done. That should be out late Spring or early Summer. The book will have about 50 artists, many of your Philly favorites as well as the Big Kids from all over who have shown in Philly. In geek news, my php knowledge grows, you can now send messages and join the jf or milkcrate mailing list, by usuing a flash/php form.
