Are you ready to unwind, leave another year behind? Not me, not so much. I'm getting ready for whatever the opposite is: wind? grind? It’s that time of the year when I wrap it all up, and then gift wrap some. Read on for the latest news and newest shop arrivals to sweeten the season.

Today’s the day! World Circular Textiles Day. A good day. The perfect day really—to get a circular FLAMINGONE tee, hoodie, or cap.

I haven't been posting much on social media this summer, because it all feels somewhat trivial when following the news on Gaza. No matter what side or fence one sits on—politically and ethically—in this historically complex conflict, there is no justification for the Israeli government’s indiscriminate and genocidal military strategy.

when there's nothing left to say, it’s time to act

While my viral F L A M I N G O N E stunt—a real photo winning two AI awards—was proof that mother nature and her human interpreters still beat the machine, it also magnified the ever-finer line between real and fake imagery. Yesterday, I broke the rules of another contest to show that we are eroding reality as we know it. The twist: the juror was an AI.

Always nice to put a face to a name. This awkward hero needs no introduction: it's FLAMIN GO, seen here taking a moment off from being F L A M I N G O N E.

it's getting AI-y out there, but there's also real news Is it just me, or is it getting pretty AI-y out there? Artificial intelligence is...

It's been a wild summer. Well, where I am, it's actually winter. But it's the summery kind of winter and I haven't seen a drop of rain...

Reality can be hard to believe at times. F L A M I N G O N E is the living proof – a creature so unbelievable that it passed as AI.

Twinkle, twinkle little star, you're only so little from afar. A closer look reveals the true magnitude of the little things.

Forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s all just a big fat marketing ruse. Random Sunday is the real deal!!

The old year's baggage isn't really gone. But when you drop it somewhere in the dark just before midnight, the future feels fresher.

There’s nothing quite like a year. A mixed bag of 365 opportunities and challenges. This year was no different in that it was unique.
