Part of what inspired my series of Star Trek fanzine posts is my long-held belief that eBay is an underrated method for discovering weird gems of the internet. It might be a miserable product for purchasing goods, but the sheer volume of bizarre, personal stuff on there is amazing. Similarly, Google Maps has all sorts of surprises if you take the time to look around. Tonight I flicked about Kumasi in Ghana, a random choice, and looked for businesses with funny names. Behold!

Rock Shrimp, backed by Yucatan white sauce, play to a crowd of gourmet black beans and Aztec rice. Crisp lettuce and sun-ripened Roma tomato salsa wrap up this jam session.

On the flip side, some of these are actually completely fantastic.

Went to the fanciest party of my life yesterday. “Prove it,” you say? Look here: mini tacos.

I once tried Instagram. I posted this photo, from the Macy’s Flower Show Petacular, and it got zero likes. I deleted my account later in the week.

There are about a million adorable articles of clothing one can buy for one’s baby, but I wanted to do something special for my own son. I put together a few designs inspired by my favorite themes from children’s toys and games. I shared them with some friends and the response was so positive, I’ve decided to put them up for sale.
I’m doing them through Spreadshirt, so the size and color choices are very flexible. You can get any of the three designs in baby, kid, and adult sizes in a whole buncha colors. The printing is a cute, textured felt. I just ordered the ghosts on gray for myself.
You can purchase them here!
