Interesting links for May 4th through May 8th:
- Wired’s Geekster Handbook, a Field Guide to the Nerd Underground - Cubicgarden sums up my thoughts on this exactly: “But what I wonder is where is the Dj geek? Designer geek? Movie geek? Mobile phone geek? (which I would argue, isn’t the same as gadget guy). Anyway, its all stereotypes and not real. We’re all a combination and we all wear better clothes and don’t look like we just left college.
- UnderGear: No Boxers, No Briefs - Remember the padded underwear from the International Male catalogue? Well, here’s more from their latest magazine UnderGear (borderline NSFW).
- Portfolio - Jennifer Maestre - These “pencil-sculptures” from Maestre; they are just gorgeous. They don’t always represent an actual animal/object and I love that they’re open for your own interpretation.

These pencil sculptures are featured this month in an American magazine, “Home Companion,” and while I’m fascinated by the — what? — engineering of them? the look of them scares the bejeezus out of me. They look like alien life forms waiting to suck your brain out through your nostrils or something. Hurrah for the skill and imagination, but in someone else’s display case.
