A few of these have been taped up in out-of-the-way places on the Yahoo! Sunnyvale campus. They don't look like official internal marketing ... I am agitating for t-shirts now. - Kent Brewster

You can avoid having to reactivate XP by simply copying a file from your Windows directory and saving it on a USB stick, floppy drive, or CD. When you first activated Windows, XP creates a file called “WPA.DBL” and stores it in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory. Now copy this file to some sort of external storage device and keep it in a safe place. When you go to reinstall Windows, you’ll reach the point where you have to activate. Decline the activation and complete the installation. Now you’ll need to restart your computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 on startup to get into the Advanced Boot Options menu. Go to C:\Windows\System32 and you should see a file called WPA.DBL already there. Simply rename it to something like WPA.backup and then copy your backup version of WPA.DBL to the current location. - Kent Brewster

Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on ... This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming. - Kent Brewster

This would be double-awesome if the paint was invisible except for tiny reflective chips in it that only showed from the "right" direction. - Kent Brewster

Think of it as a TinyURL you can wear. Each two-by-four-inch, velcro-backed twill p8tch has a Mysterious Commando Design on the top, and a QRCode on the bottom. The QRCode on the p8tch contains a URL. If you scan the code with your iPhone, Mobile Safari will take you directly to that URL. Or, if it's a Google Maps link, directly to the Google Maps app. Or, if it's a YouTube link, it'll show a movie. Cool, right? - Kent Brewster

Even though it's in an embryonic stage and nobody at all is paying attention, I like it. I'm creating data. I'm authorizing access. I'm giving out passwords to my agents, not begging them from big faceless companies. Unlike all those other Web profiles, w - Kent Brewster
