For the What is Your Glitch? videos I wanted to build up on some of the extensive work that has already gone into the documentation, deconstruction and glitching of file formats. Rosa Menkman has already done a great job of documenting some of the more well-known file format glitches in the Vernacular of File…

After months of hard work I’m happy to finally release Dataface Special thanks go to various hackers at fizzPOP for all of their help, GB for programming help and Scribbleboy for general guidance. You can view of preview of the font here on Flickr. There will soon be a lovely writeup of how it…

After seeing my newly created twitter background, Jon (aka scribbleboy) asked me to do one for him. So I did. In fact, I did several versions He asked for something red, so I took a few birthday pictures and did the equivalent of putting them through a shredder! It seems recently that there’s been…
