Shareware, Freeware, Open Source: Definitions, explanations, and some programs!

Why are there a billion free PC programs out there but only ten thousand free Mac programs? Because a PC operating system is open source and Mac is proprietary. What the hell does that mean? Friends that’s a long conversation down intellectual property and capitalism lane, so let’s go there a little bit, and lets [...]

Hot Pink F&$K Yeah!

Hot Pink F&$K Yeah!

Well – that was exciting! The Hot Pink Mass at the QuORUM Forum* was the sixth-ever Full Mass given — though luckily I’ve gotten to give Mini-Masses another dozen times across the continent, sharing Trisha and Femmifestation as I go.

Print Design! Layout Software that doesn’t cost more than your rent

Print Design! Layout Software that doesn’t cost more than your rent

I love print design, and I’ve been at it for years; first my making zines in the 90′s and next by making newspapers, magazines and promotional media over the last ten years. So it makes sense that people ask me for tips and recommendations regularly. Some examples are this page from Femme2010 program, and my [...]

Terra Incognita means uncharted land; and it was used [...]
