Printer Blunders in the Junk Drawer
Seems like everyday I give you something new. Well, today is no different. I have something new for you to gawk at and be thoroughly unimpressed about: printer blunders. I dug deep into my collection. Despite getting lost for an hour and having to crawl out on my stomach, I was able to grab enough to put on here. (Shit, I left my wallet in there. I’ll get it later.) I also have a collection of browser blunders that will be on here soon. Hey, I can’t give you everything at once or you’d have no reason to come back.
Someone else who likes mistakes is LUST, a Dutch graphic design studio. They use a lot of their mistakes in their work. I read an interview with one of the guys and he was disappointed that OS X was so stable because they didn’t get any cool screen grabs when it crashed.
They also discovered, by mistake of course, the Magic JPEG. It does unexpected things to images in Photoshop 6.0. That’s fun. Another fun thing to do is open an image with a text editor; randomly delete, insert, and/or duplicate text; and open it in an image editor. CORRUPT™, an online image corrupter, is fun too.
Alright, my head is corrupt. I’m going to shut it down for the night.
