Over the past week, we’ve sent out over 100 copies of the magazine to folks who’ve sent in Self-Addressed Stamped Envelopes (SASE), many of them viewers of g4tv’s Attack of the Show and readers of Flavorpill, but also from people who’ve visted this site or heard about the magazine through friends. Since we here in the office love to spend a sunny day inside in front of a compter, we made a purrty desktop-size image of how far and wide the SASE have spread so far! If you’re reading this, let’s all try to work together and hit up those blank areas, eh? !/images/posts/28/6-22-dist-small.jpg! http://www.chaisemagazine.org/news/28/ 2005-06-23T19:22:34-07:00 Joe Posner With great sadness and great shame, we must report that the Mac OS X versions of Josh Nimoy’s Ball Droppings and Textension were corrupted on the Chaise Two DVD-Rom. BUT, you have come to the right place to find working versions of both! Ball Droppings is also our staff pick for this month, complete with super fun fun demo showing sides of Ball Droppings perhaps incomprehensible to our meager human faculties. One can also get tricked out instructions and even a mobile phone version of Ball Droppings, at Balldroppings.com. Bennett the Baker also remixed the Ball Droppings audio in an earlier post. http://www.chaisemagazine.org/news/27/ 2005-06-22T17:49:00-07:00 Joe Posner This past week, as you may have learned from our last news post, the lovely Bennett Baker Barbakow presented Chaise on the g4 network’s Attack of the Show. Since we know a lot of you are not in their 12-18 Male target group, we decided to syndicate the experience to y’all through our website! Click here to see us on TV! Please be patient – it’s about 5.5 minutes long and the broadband version is over 100MB, but definitely worth waiting for. http://www.chaisemagazine.org/news/26/ 2005-06-21T22:10:00-07:00 Joe Posner
