The Art of Chainmail began in 1998 based on CGI illustrations employed for free instructions on my website. Today this best-selling tome is available as a direct digital download, along with all 11 Art of Chainmail tutorials as part of the Art of Chainmail Master's Course. #AOC |
Associating with memes in order to bring attention to the importance of independent digital publishing and virtual viral marketing solutions, YellowSMG is the Tumblr blog which I employ as a test range for memetic and semiotic marketing research. #YellowSMG |
Isn't ~it~ funny how things are always in the ~last~ place you look!? Wouldn't ~it~ be great if you could always take the last step first? Learn how with Affirmations ~ Collected Works of Irony. Free to read and review on Good Reads or $3 to take with you on Kindle. #GrumbleDude |
Dylon is a freelance jack-of-all-trades repair technician and consultant with a quarter century of experience Who is working to crowd source his "dangerous mid-course career correction" to full-time barely humorous D.I.Y. speculative fiction author and part-time stand-up comedian. #Paladylon |
During the summer of 2009 I discovered and accepted the all abiding power of Bacon as lored of my cosmos and personal savour. "Have ~you~ heard the good news about Bacon!?" Said absolutely no one, EVER! Where else can you find life, the universe and everything in terms of Bacon in under 4min and 21sec?#Bacophenia |
"I am a hollow man. All I hear are voices calling me Home when I know now that it is not even close. As my words fade my only conclusion is that I must be dead. Funny how I don't recall dying..." ~ Oliver Agony is my barely humorous speculative fiction nom de plume. #OliverAgony |
Dejamnesia sequelitis; The distinct feeling of having been ~there~ & done ~that~ all before that's symptomatic of The $hitch. You know, the SHItty existential iTCH that there ~must~ be something more to life, the universe & everything!? Well now there is! #TheShitch |
This is your chance to snag some truly unique unswag (stuff we don't all get). Can ~you~ solve the riddle-cruel of this B3 (Bacon Code3) enigma from the pages of The $hitch Issue 1 featuring the second most efficient salutation in all creation?!? (at least according to the Jackalopedia) #Aholaloha |
The prerequisite for success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Success is having what you want while denying no other what they want. If you do not repeat the actions of your own success you will not be successful. Success wants you as much as you want it. It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have. #Due2OverwhelmingSuccess |
The last moment of any thing is much like any other, only shorter. Just ask Tony the Soprano (famous singing fat lady); "The one with the bullet in their brain is ~always~ the last to know." Jackalopedia, definitely ~not~ what ewe think in my personal pooka index! #Jackalopedia |
Positively afflicted by a little-known condition known as Ataraxia, the Eureka Effect or as I prefer Neoblogasm, I find it hard to think of anything but a continual stream of good ideas including the concept that there's a flavour of Neopolitan Zen for everyone! #Neoblogasm |
This is a project that my improvisational comedy group "We're Not Responsible" has been working on for some time based on the ultra-sarcastic message; "Had this been an actual landmine you would be ~lucky~ to be dead right now." #AntiLandmine |
The cake is most certainly ~not~ a lie! Learn how to not only have your cake but eat it too only with Walrusmart Spooksperson Bacon-Cake. Can you solve the riddles left behind by rogue programmer Forest Grump and discover the hidden secret of Bacon-Cake!? #BaconCake |
Chainman.me, currently directed to my anything goes Farcebook page is named after the epic adventures of Sonny Chainman, a repair technician who unwittingly makes a critical mistake and is somehow trapped in a strange, alternate CRPG-like future world. #Chainman |
This Printfection t-shirt store is built on the ruins of Say it Phree Tees. Being naturally omni-dimensional Walrusmart contains many strange aisles so that one never knows exactly what they may find at the singular store from the end ~and~ beginning of the cosmos! #Walrusmart |
MacGrüffins is the choice Walrusmart restaurant! Little do patrons know the dark secret which lies at the heart of Old MacGrüffin's illicit GMO experiments that lead to the birth of the Phlübberverse(gm) and the mysterious anti-hero known as the MacGyver! #MacGrüffins |
Phlübber(gm) for the finest inception protection always rememberry; It's a tire! So if the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round. If the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round in your head, it's your own fault for not waring a Phlübber(gm)! #Phlübber |
The Westphall Foundation to bring about the most humane and/or pleasurable extinction of the human race plausible was initiated by Doctor Thomas D. Westphall as an extension of his flagship Deus Ex Machine Corp., developers of the original YellowSMG & Pocketech prototypes. #WestphallFoundation |
Home of Infiniplex Press, Whobonic Labs, the Deus Ex Machine Corporation and partners with Mars Polytechnique, Moon-U is the setting for the adventures of Harry Who; an otherwise normal man unexpectedly thrust into virtually artificial reality! #MoonU |
As part of his duties aboard the YellowSMG, Oliver Agony has been placed in charge of our ever-popular Boomshtick Poster Store on RedBubble with many examples of work produced both by Doctor Thomas D. Westphall and stowaway artist Goatsy. #Boomshtick |
Named after Old MacGrüffin's definitively NSFW silhouette template system used to track, classify and organize his informational experiments, the @grumbledude Instagram account serves as launch central for various aspects of my semiotic and memetic research and development. #BuckEwe2 |
After 15 years enjoying success in both self and traditionally publishing I have decided to enter the exciting new realm of "crowd sourcing" for the long-awaited follow-up to my original best-seller. This time tackling my most frequently asked questions about constructing chain clothing. #Kusari |
Fauxanadu is the mythical home of Guy Faux (pronounced like ghee clarified butter or Mr. Lafleur and foe, not fake fox fur), head of the legendary improvisational comedy group Hambiguous and my personal fictional mentor with regard to humour and the theatre. #Fauxanadu |
Is it possible to place a price on immortality? Wouldn't it be amazing if you could talk to the past? Well now you can! Utilizing exclusive Deux Ex Machine Corporation Pocketech 8-fold Origami Oracle technology, artist Goatsy has created a truly original experience! #Pocketech |
There is a growing disparity in this world between those who do and those who do not know they are full of ~it~. What is ~it~!? ~It~ is ~it~! And when ~it~ comes to the Sheeppl Chase ewe fill in the bla_ks! #Sheepplchase |
For several years now I've wanted to expand my summer Farmers' Market experience with handmade buttons, but all my friends decry buttons as totally passé. Or so ~they~ say, I'm still holding out hope that Pie-Eyed Coyote Buttons will be resurrected one day! #PieEyeCoyote |
"That's when the beast came out of the fog, it was more tentacle than mammal!" No copies of the original D.I.Y. Saber Kit are known to have survived the destruction of the Argonautalis after Oliver Agony was first kidnapped by the nefarious Kapt'n Krunch. #DIYSaber |
United we stand, divided we fall. Even Pink Floyd couldn't have put it better than Caesar, the modern Prometheus from the recent Rise of Planet of the Apes redux. Which is why I'd rather follow honest speculative fiction and screenwriters, than the profits of the past. #HailCaesar |
The most neutral joke ever was created as a counterpoint to Monty Python's Killer Joke proving that not only do we kill each other over things as stupid as our ideas,ideals and idols, but if it were possible to weaponize humour we most certainly would have done so by now. #Rememberry |
In the transitory tradition of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, if I had my own band we would be called The Itinerant Orcas. Our first album would exclusively feature songs of 42 seconds or less in length and be entitled "VHV" (Vilified Hoodies Vigilant). #VHV |
Infiniplex Press is my family owned digital publishing company. Named after the grand unified field theory that the purpose of the physical universe is the creation of the virtual multiverse via the omniversal communication matrix which is generated by the observations of us and all life. #InfiniplexPress |
The concerns of making chain patterns, such as spring back, aspect ratio and variances in gauge standards drive me crazy! The solution!? Combine aluminum and neoprene to create Happy Sack! Unfortunately supplier support has been less than enthusiastic... #HappySack |
Say it Phree Tees (now part of Walrusmart) is the graphic t-shirt company that my wife, father and I started in 2009 after the realization that my traditional publisher had lost interest in books (such as Practical Chain Mail) that I wished to produce outside of the jewelry niche. #SayItPhree |
Dirtier than a dirty Sanchez sandwich, The Poop Nazi is my Unsettlers of Catanitoulin persona who thoroughly enjoys being an unimaginably megalomaniacal with such projects as Angry Turds, World of Poo, AngerDump, and Shitler's List. #Shitler |
Residing in the great round file in the sky is the gestalt spirit of western technological revolution composed of equal parts Steve Jobs (professional emotional butcher), Steve Ballmer (replacing code baker Gates), Steve "the Woz" Wozniak (candleshtick maker extraordinaire) and Steve Meretzky. (txt adventure guru) #Stevinity |
The 2008 Christopher Priest introduction to John Wyndham's The Chrysalids helped me realize that my true love lay in becoming the author of barely humorous speculative fiction which combined with olfactorithmetic principals from Waiting and THGTTG produced this signature catchphrase. #Venushowingame |
An onomatopoeia acronym catchphrase developed for my Internet comedy as a Yankovic of the infamous Snag Oxhorn song and eweTube video ROFLMAO as a hip pop-culture reference long before Snoop decided to edge in on the Chess Sire Cat gig. #ROFLMEOW |
1. Bacosimilitude (There is only one thing which smells like Bacon and that is Bacon) 2. Baconparsimony (Bacon tastes good) 3. Bacophenia (self-creation connexion) 4. Baconything (metaphor of Panacea and Philosopher's Stone or humour as medicine and most efficient solution.) #MayContainBacon |
Olfactorithmetic; motion math of sensory input/output (g.i.g.o.) systems. "You may have mistaken me for somebody who thinks they know something when I actually know nothing. This means everything because there's always something new to learn and so I may be anything." #Olfactorithmetic |
Trust Lily Allen, John Fogerty, Heart, Marquese "Nonstop" Scott, Madonna, Tears For Fears, Moby, Queensrÿche, Katy Perry, & many, many more! There really is a place where the grass is greener! Learn how to visit the odder side of disillusionment with stupefying Bacophenia power! #LuciDreamNow |
E.C. the Freaky Abstruse Gonzo comic me. As in the bridge may be icy. (In Franch "ici" means "here".) Therefore the bridge ~may~ be here, then again, it may not be here! Don't know what the heck is going on!? Hey! Buy the rights! How Bizarre! HONK! #DylonWhyte |
Today this is the kind of resistance that independent digital producers are receiving from traditional mainstream publishers. There can be only one reason for this; they are scared shitless of losing the control which they hold over physical content, production and distribution. #TiNT |
Marketing guru Ryan Deiss says that last year #Kindle readers spent over 900 million dollars. By the end of 2013 this record breaking year is expected to #trump physical sales making at least 3 billion dollars with 70% going directly into the pockets of digital content creators. #palindronomatopoeiacronym |
Once I met a man who heard me spiel and said "Son, that's unreal! you must belong to Master Pöets Society!" "Nay!" I said "What is this!?" To which he replied "Quando Omni Flatulus Sporkus or I'm somewhat of a bullshiner myself, but occasionally I care to listen to an expert... So please, carry on!" #BullShiner |
It is not surprising that Jacks works are often mistaken for paintings. Taking pieces of magazine paper cut with an Xacto knife, some as large as an entire page, some just a minute wedge, he builds each layer of the collage the same way brush strokes are laid on canvas. #JacksTime |
The rules only matter when somebody present cares to observe them. Mistakes are the only things we can truly call our own which means that mistakes prove our humanity. Something which a rote, routine, robotic adherence to rules cannot. #Gorillazinyourmidst |
Graffiti artist Banksy may have observed that modern art is a disaster area, but with Jack Whyte's Time never has so little been used to say so much; "Sport is greater than war, chaos creations its own composition, plus you can always share a pint after the game!" #JacksTime |
If the pen is mightier than the sword and a picture is worth a thousand words then what is the value of a picture of a sword which is constructed solely from words!? Bacophenixcalibur is my D.I.Y. Saber. "From nothing all things to nothing. To the living; Life! To the dead; Death!" #Bacophenixcalibur |
Like fellow Canuckian Jann Arden I think that Love is the Only Solider Left and I thank you very much for not believing that I'm every word that I write down. However, I would not die for you having learnt the hard lessons of suffering and compassion wrought in the humility of irony. #Canuckia |
Like fellow Canuckians Rush I am a blacksmith and artist who thinks that we should all be forging our creativity closer to the heart to mould a new reality and that fate is just the weight of circumstances, yet few know the role they play on the stage of the world. #Chainman |
Like fellow Canuckian Marshall McLuhan I think that the medium is the message (and massage) because we are all simian mirror neuron soaked hominid descendents who as Confucius notes can learn wisdom via noble contemplation, easy mimicry or painful experience. #Thumbiter |
Like fellow Canuckian Alanis Morissette I think that it's highly ironic and iconic to create a work one the topic of irony which contains little or no actual irony especially coming from the most iconically ironic country imaginable. #Hermetic |
Faster than fast can't be, you'll never catch-22 me!#DejamnesiaSequelitis |
Randy pioneers of the first Scratch'n'sniff gifs to take the cosmos by shitchstorm, the loose affiliation of hot air blowing Kilroyesque hero protagonists known as Fartacus are the antithetical nemesis of the vitriolic, venomous and villainous antagonist Shitler! #Fartilizer |
Located on the loverly Moon-U campus, Whobonic Labs delves into cutting edge research on Lucid Dreaming, Eidetic Memory, Precognitive Sciences, NDEHS Astral Travel, Augmented Reality, Semiotic and Memetic Anthropology and Baconology amongst other topics. #Whobonics |

"Only a fool believes that just because they do not see, they are not seen.
The following video has been left blank in order to illustrate the statistical probabiliy of ~any~ single planet, let alone individual being knowing what is ~actually~ going on in the vastness of the cosmos.
There are some who believe that this void should contain a single pixel or other small blip in order to indicate the enormity of this immense dis-proportionality.
But the truth is that we all have to make our own mark in this thing called L.I.F.E.
Hi, I'm Dylon, otherwise known as @GrumbleDude on Instagram, @GrumbleDude on Pinterest and @GrumbleDude on Twitter or by hash tag #InstaPinTwit and also my blog at YellowSMG.com
More than anything I would like to become a meme or "go viral" in order to promote the value of digital goods and services as a method of reliving economic constraints via various comedic antics.
If you cannot understand the immediate profit and overall value of the digital perspective then please visit one of our favorite independent sites 'The Story of Stuff' in order to understand the artificially constructed nature of materialism.
One of the hardest things for the owner operator of a small business is knowing which projects to focus our time and effort on.
Especially when you're like me with a seriously overactive imagination and preposterous proclivity for ponderous story-telling. But, as one of my many mentor puts it; success requires 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.
Which is why I would like you to help me decide which project I should focus on for my new crowd-sourced undertaking. A concept which I was exited about for 3 years before this fantastic euphemism for open source finance was even coined.
Market research at Infiniplex Press suggests that it's far more efficient to know what your audience is interested in ~before~ investing precious physical resources.
So for the next month I will be using Pinterest to organize various projects by the system of Neoblogasm hash tags which I created in order keep myself and our independent virtual business organized.
If you would like check out more #hash projects please visit DylonWhyte.com
Also, if you don't understand what's going on these days, please consider checking out my latest title 'Over 4.3 Bmillion Copies Sold and Translated Into 5 More Languages Than There Are ~ THE Definitive Guide to L.I.F.E., The Omniverse and Anything ~ The Officially Unofficial Sequel to Everything!'
Nothing would make us at Infiniplex Press happier than being able to provide free content to our readers, so please consider investing in your future entertainment by clicking on our Flattr button.
We're with the pirates on this issue. With an information system where it is fundamentally impossible to ensure digital document security (like our Internet) why not find alternative solutions that work for every one and thing? From Arrested Development to Better Off Ted and my favorite brand soda that they just don't seem to make anymore, I can't tell you how many discontinued products or series I wish I could have supported directly with a flattr-like system.
Rememberry; When no other thing may change, one is always free to change their mind.
True freedom lies within, not without.
There are non so blind as those who will not see, they believe themselves free and so ~never~ will be."
