Way ahead of you on that closet thing.

It's a beautiful day to be at the race track.

I'm not too worried. It's low on the list of priorities. Currently rewiring the entire harness so I can get back to this.

Hey, maybe don't use AI-generated slop images to illustrate your articles, lest you invent entirely new categories of visual vehicular horror. These are from a website called 'DriveCruise' purportedly run by totall real human being Warren A. Holden.

AI slop image of a Mazda RX7 with two front ends.

AI slop image that seems to combined FB and FD RX7s.

No idea what this AI slop is supposed to be.

Another AI-slop image of what appears to be an FB and FD RX7 merged with a 550 Maranello.

So I ended up buying that foam cannon. I still have a ways to go in terms of figuring it out, but it's much easier than a bucket.

My physical media habit was getting out of hand, so I decided to build my own version of the Criterion Closet in a small utility room on the ground floor. I cleared the wall of the previous owner's shelving, and used 2x4s and 1x3s. No room for laserdiscs, but I am happy with how it turned out

An empty shelf made of 2x4s and 1x3s against an unpainted wall. In the foreground, there is a ladder.

The same shelve, but now it's filled with DVDs and blu-rays. There ae two additional horizontal shelves added on the bottom.

It's the final day of the Dead Air Kickstarter! We're looking to make a final push to make our goal, and you can help us get there at www.deadaircomic.com What if one day a year you could talk to the dead? It's a story about the ties and tunes that bind us across life and death.

It's the final Full Page Friday for the Dead Air comic book Kickstarter (www.deadaircomic.com). Check out this amazing interior page from co-creator Joe Ng and colorist Maja Opacic from the third issue in the series. So excited to get this book into everyone's hands.

Today's Dead Air Kickstarter post breaks down the anatomy of a panel for Issue #1, going through its evolution from the script, to layouts, to the final art on the page as I work through the creative process with artist Joe Ng. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

An excerpt from the script of the Dead Air #1 comic book,

A comic book layout drawing of a woman looking into a shop window.

A black-and-white comic book panel of a woman, seen from behind, standing in front of a store front. The store front has a large sign reading D-TALq.
