JPG Magazine

I haven’t written about here yet! I should probably fix that.

The idea, as I put it, is that since digital cameras have democratized photography, JPG exists to democratize photography magazines. They pick three themes for every issue and have people submit and vote on photos for those themes. At the end of the submission period, the editors pick from the top photos, add a few other stories, do all the layout, and send it to print. It’s a lot of fun–if you (or anyone else) think you have some cool photos, send them in.

This post has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I have recently submitted some photos, which may or may not be visible on this site’s sidebar or my JPG user page, nor with the fact that if you were to see any such photos, I would appreciate it if you were to vote for them.

Super Bowl Prank

Sir John Hargrave and Rob Cockerham are masters of the sort of Internet humor that involves doing outlandish things, taking pictures of them, and making webpages about the whole affair. My soap posts have a certain similarity to this, and I was indeed inspired by the Cockeyed.com Science Club.

Anyway, they recently joined forces, which would have been awesome in itself, but their objective is what takes the cake: to prank the Super Bowl.

We’re talking about a six-person job, five hundred pounds of materials, and gross expenses in excess of $40,000 (including not only shipping and materials, but also game tickets and legal advice). The story is in progress; keep following their sites to see what happens.
