It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Keeping promises can be costly.

A few months ago, we set out to offer one new Election 2004 bumper sticker every day until November 2004. We've done more than that, creating 326 designs to date. At this rate, we'll have over 1500 designs by November 2004 for you to choose from.

Unfortunately, it takes a long time (326 * 10K = 3.26 Megabytes) to display 326 thumbnail previews, and the burden will only grow over time. To continue offering our goods to members of the dial-up universe, we've created a new text-only shop with links to each and every design we have available, all on one page. This includes not only our Election 2004 stuff, but also our anti-war, heretical, Earthophilic and humorous (yes, we have a funny bone) goodies. Click on only the links that catch your eye to get a preview picture and order one for your very own.

My personal favorite of the day is a response to all those silly bumper stickers in New York that read: "Hillary: Not here. Not now. Not ever." Some people STILL have those on their bumpers. They need our reminder: Hillary: Here. Now. Again in 2006.
