Space Invaders Swag

March 6, 2008 – 9:37 am

On the heels of the cutting board, comes the doormat. The invasion is still in full swing. I kinda wish I hadn’t taken down my old counterinvasion site.

Invader swag

January 4, 2007 – 2:21 pm

I’m letting go of one of my prized possessions. Yes, it’s time to sell my cute little invader kit. Though I still love the work of the artist, I’m realizing that I don’t need this little bit of pop culture. In fact, I have a more interesting collection of tiles I can use should I [...]

Invader Hunt: 10.2006

October 12, 2006 – 5:28 pm

It’s Sara’s idea to jump. She and Maryann make several passes in front of the big mosaic. I snap away. Then a woman who works nearby observes our antics and volunteers to take a photo of all three of us. So we get in front of the artwork and, on the count of three…

We’re out [...]

Holy cow. I have one of these. I wonder if I should sell it?

Invader redux

This just warms the heart. Invader’s back in town. And he’s replacing some of his stolen works.

The Invasion Is Over

July 23, 2006 – 9:13 am

Seems ipowerweb loses my site for half a day yesterday. Anyone trying to access the site through normal means comes up against a brick wall. Sorry about that. My hosting company is probably melting in the heat.
If you’re trying to get at counterinvasion.com, you probably ran into the same thing. But in this case it [...]

Just a little longer…

February 7, 2006 – 10:38 am

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. It’s not that switching to WordPress is difficult in itself. In fact, it’s quite easy. But Wordpress saves post URLs differently. A simple import to Wordpress would break every single permalink in the site. In other words every link I’ve made to other posts and every link made to posts [...]

Christmas At The Hollywood Sign

December 27, 2005 – 6:07 pm

My mission: climb to the Hollywood Sign. Objective: determine whether the Space Invader art installed by the artist Invader is still in place, or whether it’s been stolen just like all the rest of it. It’s Christmas morning. I drag myself out of bed at eight, suit up and then drive up through the morning [...]

Space Invader Redux

December 6, 2005 – 12:21 am

Sara and I sit on the front stoop of Amoeba. She smokes a cigarette. I’m keeping her company. Why? I dunno, in case she needs help, I guess. I don’t smoke. To be more accurate, I don’t smoke my own cigarettes. I’m content with the second-hand stuff. Unless someone gives me one, but even then [...]

con mail

November 17, 2005 – 1:37 am

Seems to me that the most successful con artists would be the articulate ones. Smooth talkers get better results. As the saying goes, you attract more flies with honey. So why is so much spam so poorly written? That’s what I’m wondering when I glance at the following email:
So lovely pictures !!
God bless the [...]
