Reborn From Embers… Over and Over

By Arion Londraville

How did we get to where we are today? Arion invites you to walk hand in hand with him through a short visual history of the last five years of the Use Bombs websites designs and layouts. This is your opportunity to get a clear picture of how our guiding principles–the virtues of the phoenix–have been applied in such a way as to create the best Use Bombs experience yet. Do you have the daring and/or community-mindedness to backtrack with Arion and fly with the phoenix? Do you have the grace? The flavor? If so, you best get a readin’.

By Josh Allen

When he ponders, and attempts to pontificate answers of some kind to his many and varied question about childbirth, the rest of us may have trouble keeping up. For good reason, his trains of thought are fast moving and zig-zagging as his venom.
