the Trash vitae

Trash is the editor-in-chief of an independent Colorado micro-publisher/ design studio. I dabble in digital photography, the lost art of film image making, and guerilla digital video. DrMAC Studios specializes in books and videos on self-reliance, gardening, dumpster diving, urban foraging and living off the excesses of others.
This blog documents my daily experiences with the rest of the world

the Cigarette is dead


No it is not. I beg to differ. There are kazillions of cigarettes out there just waiting to be smoked and enjoyed by countless individuals. I wish the people who do this would research their topic a tad better.

URBAN HOMESTEAD lab is back up

Apparently part of my conspiracy was correct. When the service tech came out and checked my setup there was a filter placed on my connection at the Comcast box due to a bleeding of signal caused by a bad tv cable.. Why did they not tell each other or me that info while I spent almost a week with their on phone techs.
Alas though I am back up and a new video is forthcoming.
I AM AN URBAN HOMESTEADER
