Computer Arts Free USB Card Offer

Computer Arts USB card

Computer Arts is a rather expensive mag as priced here in the US. Not to say it’s not worth each penny and pound, but just that I’m lucky I’ve got UK natives who send me their copies and scans (thanks!). That said, magazines are great. Don’t you love turning glossy pages? If you’ve been holding out on subscribing, CA has now sweetened the pot, and turned this browser into a buyer.

Straight from Computer Arts:

This is a truly great gift! Probably the best gift ever to be offered on Computer Arts magazine.

Straight from Jon:

If you subscribe to Computer Arts magazine you now get this nifty 2GB USB card adorned with my scribbles. They come pre-loaded with tutorials and interviews but you can delete those straight away and store all your illegal downloads and saucy photos on it.

$124.99 USD will get you 13 issues of CA and some slick new memory. Subscription info for various countries can be found here. Thanks to Amir for the hi-res scans below!

Corrupted Data Mimobot

Jon contributed a mimobot design to Flying Cat x Mimoco Artist Series 1 (with TADO) in 2006.

Corrupted_Data is a dancing mêlée of all your important ones and zeros, turned to mush by an unexpected surge of electricity. Important financial documents have morphed into showery black clouds, your mp3’s have curled at the edges and gone crispy and all your favourite photos have gone from jpegs to jumping king-bird-fish heads. Cheeky and hungry spores swim through the vast sea of homeless binary searching for new hosts to infect.

Corrupted_Data features an exclusive animated treat featuring the blip-bloppy music of UK-based Penfold Plum.

mimobots are a line of collectible art toy USB flash drives launched in 2005 by mimoco LLC. Designed by contemporary character artists and produced in limited runs of usually between 500 to 3,500 units, mimobots merge the aesthetics of art toys with the function of USB flash drives. Their memory capacities range from 512MB to 4GB and each mimobot is preloaded with bonus original and removable content including animation, music, games, video, screensavers, or other surprises. The Jon Burgerman mimobot has been sold out for years, but you can still see the original animated trailer here.
