The site will be going through some changes over the next couple weeks.  Lot’s easier to navigate, faster to load, and more materials like ongoing guest bloggers, easy access to past projects, searchable, easier to syndicate (podcast), and a brand new forum coming up.

Hang tight and please give me your feedback so I can make this site a nice comfortable place.  Thanks and keep tuning in.

I know we have the glorious internet to help us answer all these burning questions, but if you have a long-standing question you’d love to resolve, please let me know. I can and will go to great lengths to answer it. Either post it under comments or send it to me – marc at ineedtostopsoon dot com .

Note: imitation cheese is made out of vegetable oil.

Group Portrait 1: Little Joy’s Bar, Silverlake, LA, CA

I ended up doing the free piggy back rides on Rodeo Drive, the project that got the most votes from The Human Video Game Experiment (HVGE) post. It was fun and terribly exhausting. No pictures or videos yet; soon though.

This project you see here is an alteration of one of the HVGE projects listed, group portraits in public places. Originally, I was going to just stick to subway cars, and simply organize everyone on the car into a group portrait. It was too limiting though, so I took it elsewhere.

Please, please. You have to try this. Go into a place, an elevator, a library, a bar, a hot dog stand, a clothing store, your bank, wherever, and organize as many people there as you can into a group portrait. Cheese – and take the picture!!! If you can get everyone there in the picture, I’ll send you a snickers bar. Got it? Most of these people are strangers and you’ll have to do a little convincing.

Oh yeah, you can pose in the photos if you like. Usually there is someone there who is shy, but doesn’t mind taking the picture for you.

Please send your group portrait photos to me, no cheating (not just you and your friends), at – marc at ineedtostopsoon dot com. Let me know where you took it and in what city and state.

Thanks and I can’t wait to see these. I’d like to put all of these in a zine. It’d be special.

p.s. I’ll post some more HVGE projects to vote on soon. I like that project.

I’m looking to add some advertising on my site for some cash to keep this site going.

I get anywhere between 200,000 hits to 350,000 hits a month. Not your Yahoo! of sites, but a decent amount of traffic.

Not just any ole’ company can advertise here; I’m looking for small businesses, individual artists, green companies, independents, micro-brew companies, illustrators, photographers, graphic designers, web-based companies, clothing designers, architects, product designers, publishers, film makers, general weirdos, and just about anyone else who falls not to far to the left or right of all that.

You’d have a little patch of “land” on the homepage for a month and the advertising model would be very similar to that of boingboing.net .

There are three sizes of advertising depending on how much you want to spend. Additionally, you can purchase space above and below the fold (the part where you need to start scrolling down).

Small – 150 x 60
Medium – 125 x 125
Large – 300 x 60 (at the very top and only one per month)

You can put whatever you like in your little plot, and watch your profit margins grow exponentially!!!

If you are interested, please e-mail me at (marc at ineedtostopsoon dot com) and I’ll send you a price breakdown.

brought to you by our visiting friend Jon Rolston and I. A big thanks to Hak lonh for coming in and editing this. I’m a bad editor.

I’ve always been fascinated with Sci-fi films, and my finally my dream has come true; I’ve been asked to put together a pilot presentation for a Sci-Fi TV show. Never really written a sci-fi show, so I thought it would be nice to open it up to y’all and make the show about your homemade sc-fi shorts. They can be up to ten minutes long, give or take a few. Whatever you wan to make!

Here are a few examples I found on a random sci-fi video search:

My friend Hak Lonh punched me in the neck, so I drew him this picture so he can remember it. I’m having troubles breathing right now.
