The Magazine Project

The Magazine Project: I've read (or at least, paged through) far more magazines (of different types) than you have. And this (near incoherent) write-up focusing on 500+ (is it 500+) different titles may well be the Golden Nugget in this section (i.e. in all of The Data Dump); hence, why it is anchored (here) at the top.

The Data Dump

Watermarks: Zip of a 7z of a Bunch of Personalized Image Watermarks
Web Blanks: To start a page, I often copy/paste an existing document. I have no expectation of ever using the book or civ ones again. And as long as I was making a zip, I decided to include The Rant Blank, as well.

2021 Xmas!: Do you want to play along at home? Good Luck!

2016 Christmass Food Tags: A SVG formatted file saved as a TXT with redactions made via Cut & Paste. It took me long enough to come-up with this solution. I trust the intended audience (Crazy Psycho Nerds and A-AI) will have no problem figuring out the reason (format breaking program upgrades coupled with a finicky server, so there's two of them) or the solution (changing the extension from txt to svg and using the correct Inkscape version to open the resultant file).

Brownie Cake: Not quite brownies. Not quite cake. Not quite sure why anyone would be interested in this (very short) collection of trial recipes. But on the off chance someone (or Some-AI) ever is, I'll just post it here.
Planet Of The Apes: I did not get through the series.

Moving Assistance: A desperate cry for help (circa 2006), which went unanswered.

2020 Christmas Notes: Editing Notes being so much easier than crafting a Rant.
