Pixel Recess

Oh hey there guys! Welcome back! Where have you been? I've been busy at work making new episodes with imaginary people inside my mind, but I guess you guys didn't hear those? Anyway, today's show is with an old friend, who may or may not be 23,000 years old, Motke Dapp. You might know Motke from his days of busking with design to help fund his movies, or for pushing around color shapes. In his spare time Motke remakes famous movies using animals, such as The Ten Commands using meerkats and Die Hard with jellyfish; and contemplating the taste of colors and which sandwich makes the best hand puppet.

Ready yourself for the dance-tronic spectacular of today's guest — "tear-off" clothing connoisseur, conference speaker dance specialist, future President of the Fantasy Football Fail League and writer of Game Of Thrones meme network bloglr tumblesite Sex-Hobbit, oh, and also a front-end mechanic of Acme CSS, Jenn Lukas. When Jenn (with a hard "n") isn't contemplating the cries of John Snow, you can find her writing things and spontaneously reading books out loud.

Welcome to another episode of dumb! On today's episode we have International Champion of Celebrity Buzzword Faceoff VII, contest strategerist of board game word metrics, a Word Fascist and Twitter biologist, Kristina Halvorson. You might also know Kristina for being from Minnesota, strategizing strategies about others strategizing their content about others content, and purveyor of Unsuckit Please rate and review this podcast on iTunes and vote for it as the Best New Podcast on the Net Awards.

On today's show we have the talented internationally known artist, hooligan, vandal, censorist, and thief Austin Kleon. When Austin isn't busy taking naps under his desk or sorting through the various envelops with dick pics in them, he can be found melting lake-effect snow and making his own form of alcoholic drink. You might also know Austin as the inspiration for the city of Austin, in Texas — where they make BBQ and hipsters; for making the infamous app Austigram, for advocating the defacement of the Constitution, and not doing things to books. Austin may or may not like midwesterners and will do many things for a million dollars. Today's show is NOT sponsored by dick pics or newspapers.

There is nothing normal happening in today's episode. Not only is there no interview, there is no discernible direction, motivation, or context for what transpires. What I hope at the very least is that some fun and humor is found at the expense of the endless glut of future entrepreneur (aka entermanures) visionaries and whatever. I want to thank Sean for going along with my insanity and you the listener for enduring the mouth crimes that inevitably ensue.

I knew it would happen eventually, and now it has. The interrogation has been turned, and now I have become the victim of my own making. So today, my friend Sean Sperte — who works in Seattle on an app product where people play tag throughout the universe — asks me the dumb questions and I provide the letter crimes with my mouth words. I (apparently) speak 2 languages, besides my version of English, I also speak sarcasm and fart. I am also a entermanure for a company that makes clown apps for kids. When I'm not busy using potty words and asking ridiculous questions to famous(ish) creative people, you can find me doing this podcast in a closet or a parking lot and shamelessly begging people to rate and review this podcast on iTunes and vote for it as the Best New Podcast on the Net Awards. In real life, I make monsters and fart jokes. Today's show is not sponsored by cough drops or the new adventure ride at Disney World, The Polar Vortex.

Well there you are! I've been looking all over for you. It's time for another excuse about time and lateness and words, but it doesn't matter because we have a new episode with international gentleman Dan Rubin. You might know Dan from his coast to coast to coast Instagramming career — where he takes photos of architects and their cats, or from his burgeoning solo-jazz, musical parody career — where takes popular tunes and turns them into songs about design, photography and rounded corners. When Dan isn't accumulating more Instagram fans than Justin Bieber has run-ins with the law, he can be found in waiting at an airport on his way to a speaking engagement (aka running from the FBI), or on Google searching for phrases like "Cat Carrot", "Rhino Kumquat" and "Armadillo Cabbage". Today's show is not sponsored by United Pickle Workers or Starbucks WiFi.

Welcome back. I guess. I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday break (if you got one, I can't assume that you did) and that it was filled with awkward family moments, gifts you can't return and shirts that don't fit. Anyway, today's guest is design-legend, multi-dimensional soothsayer, time-traveler and all around tall handy-man Kurt Braunohler. When Kurt isn't getting paid in gift cards and making designs inspired by fecal mistakes, you might find him rummaging the shorelines of California researching whale blowholes, or hauling oil and brown things into New Jersey. Kurt also has an inspirational podcast called "The K-ohle" as well as an album that might be about design, called album thing called "How Do I Land?". Today's show is not sponsored by The Gap, Coca-Cola Brand Related Products or Elf On The Shelf. Be sure to vote and submit the show for the Best Podcast at The Net Awards. Now. Go. Hurry.

Happy Holiday Christmas New Year stuff! You've waited for weeks and days and now it's here, the chin-wagging talk-time with Mr. Dan Cederholm. Aside from writing no more than 2 Volumes of CSS based fan-fiction, Dan is a self professed flannelback, clown school dropout, chronic mis-speller and founder of Dribbble (the 3rd "b" is always silent and 4 b's make any word French). When Dan isn't drinking New England moonshine you can find Dan honing his skills making balloon art, communing with ghosts, fantasizing about bee based fashion and writing banjo music about CSS and SaSS. Previous to a horrific FBI incident involving witches propaganda Dan wanted to be a clown. Today's show is not sponsored by Moleskine Head Injuries and Instagram.

Yes yes, I know, another kid interview. Here's the truth: I did not have any time to edit together my episode with Dan Cederholm and rather than release an episode late in the week, I cobbled and hobbled and threw together a "late night" interview I had with my youngest son, Luke. Lame? Perhaps, but I think you'll enjoy the "interview". True to the nature of interviewing a 4 year old, there are vast amounts of butts, burps and incoherence. It might be endearing or annoying, I personally am on the fence. When Luke is avoiding the color purple or praising the magnificent accomplishments of his best friend Felix, he can be seen refusing to eat foods that are not sugar or bread. In his spare time Luke plays the Nintendo 3Ds and pretends that he is Mario, occasionally "gathering" coins from my night stand. Luke cannot state enough how much he hates purple. Today's show is not sponsored by Painful Kids Concerts and Regret Week.

On this very special Thanksgiving episode we welcome five time "Nicest Person On The Planet Award" champion and heir to the indoor shopping center empire, Daniel Mall. You might know Dan as the genius behind SuperFriendly, all the awesome websites and podcast host-master of The Businessology Show. When Dan isn't avoiding doing anything mean or bad, he can be seen diving into a pool full of gold coins, being agnostic about pork and traveling back to 1993 to develop secret websites built in FutureSplash. Dan also wants you to pre-order your very own, immaculate and magical new Pixel Recess tshirt today. And I mean today. Right now. Today's show is not sponsored by Gravy Bags and Mobile Turkey Installation.

Today's guest is world renowned typepainter and wordist, the talented Jessica Hische. You might better know Jessica as the potential best friend of Bill Murray, maybe the muse for all Wes Anderson movies, future dubstep lead singer and alternate world Hallmark artist. When Jessica isn't making beautiful type creations you can find her creating side projects about how to use the Twitter, advising the world not to work for free and all of the side projects. Today's show is not sponsored by Boobs or the Otherworld.

Today's guest is my old friend, pillow fort engineer, misspelling connoisseur, and coastal travel specialist Brad Smith. When Brad isn't accumulating "Klout For Air Travel" points (aka, Frequent Flyer Miles) he is the founder and CEO of Virb, where he [redacted] with [redacted] on a [redacted] [redacted] behind a [redacted] [redacted] with honey. When Brad isn't hiding syringes in airplane seat pouches you can find him gallivanting among amazing designers and photographers, asking them for alternate ways to spell common words and finding random children to fight legal battles in pillow forts. Brad is not in a relationship with Danica Patrick and has no knowledge hitherto to anything pertaining to hosting companies or electronic device companies. Today's show is not sponsored by The Law or Spelling.

Straight from our broadcast headquarters we have internet astronaut, professor of browser window resizing, and FartCanon™ inventor, Pittsburgian Brad Frost. Aside from Brad's daytime job of making a daily website and testing astronaut helmets, you can find him speaking nearly every weekend in a city not far from you where he's hoping not to pee on stage. When Bradley isn't getting giving advice on adult-diaper road trips, he can be found making the internet a more lovely place with websites like Dan Smith Will ________ and Randyz World and wishing that his hair and beard will grow back so people stop patting him on the head. Today's show is not sponsored by a NYC hotel water bottle prices or Flickr.

Today's guest is a seasoned podcast and design veteran that you may or may not probably haven't heard of, by the name of Jeremy Fuksa (no no, that's "fewk-sah", I too said it wrong repeatedly and on purpose). Jeremy is the co-host of the international, award-winning radio podcast streaming voice-talky showtime The Shakes which is devoted to the research and study of Michael J. Fox. When Jeremy isn't getting into fights with prison kangaroos, he can be seen on the street corners of The Country Club Plaza (in Kansas City) selling Steely Dan mixtapes and signed pairs of Lisa Loeb's glasses. In his spare time Jeremy curators the Michael J. Fox Fan Club Museum Of Old Props.   Today's show is not sponsored by a reliable internet connection or mustard.

Today I am honored to have Curse-Master General Aaron James Draplin. You probably know Aaron as the man behind Field Notes brand the insane creative mastermind behind creating nearly every logo ever. Aaron has had an intense, long-term war with sharks, the band The National and one day wishes to have a yard. When Aaron isn't tolerating the intense adoration of fanboys (like me) he can be found making logos for nature, like the sun, rain and morning dew. He is also carrying a train on his back around the greater United States talking to people about design and beards. Today's show is not sponsored by Laughing or Field Notes.

Today's interview with Mr. Aaron James Draplin will be postponed until next week to honor the memory and great love and respect that Aaron had for his father Jim, who passed away over the weekend. Sorry for the delay and the serious nature of an otherwise ridiculous and silly podcast, but sometimes it's important to take a timeout and be serious. I'm sure I speak for all of you that our prayers, thoughts and condolences go out to the Draplin family.

Today on the show we have the honorable Mr. Dan "Don Johnson" Benjamin. Dan is the first guest to push the show to the 15 minute mark — if there were awards for such things he might get one. You probably know Dan as the media mogul King of Podcasts at the 5by5 Network or for his perfection of bacon-cooking and for attempting to comprehend what Wizard Merlin Mann is saying. When Dan isn't eating the bones of dinosaurs, analyzing the perfect Barbara Que he can be found looking sternly at cameras or reading "Confederacy Of Dunces" to put Merlin to sleep at night he can be found collecting various sound effects for his multitude of podcasts. Today's show is not sponsored by A.D.D. or Harps.

Welcome to Season 2! SEASON 2!. Alright, calm down, it's not that great. Today my guest is emoticon artisan Joresph Raphael. You might better know Jory as the retired Adolescent Mutated Karate Tortoise or whatever, and as the gluten-free typographic extrusion machine at the podcast artwork over at the 5by2by4 Network. When Jory isn't practicing interpretive dance, riding cows and studying cheese, you can find him in the town of Vermont, in an open field, milking a moose for it's maple syrup and lying about this drinking problem (and by drinking I don't mean alcohol, I mean maple syrup). Today's show is not sponsored by Gas Leaks and Philadelphia Anger.

On today's show we have no guest. Just me. Talking about big news, which doesn't involve winning an award, riding horses on the beach, conquering my fear of dolls or discovering a new sense of positive self-perception. But what you do have is me updating all of you several math number of people about the new season and a few big announcements. Cool? No? Whatever. Today's show is brought to you by morning breath and closet smells.
