Times are scary. The coronavirus/COVID-19 has gone global and is killing people by the thousands. We’re counting on people in positions of power to make the right decisions with our well being in mind. That doesn’t mean we are powerless to affect change. Each one of us can do something to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Some landlords are waving their rent charges for tenants. Schools are handing out free food for families in their communities. Breweries and distilleries are turning their operations towards making hand sanitizer, this is my favorite one by the way. People are sewing masks for doctors, nurses, the elderly, sick, and even everyday people. So I thought, what can I do?

How-To Use Magnets On The Glowforge Cutting Bed
Keeping light-weight material on your Glowforge, or another laser cutter, the cutting bed can be a pain in the ass. So what can be done about it? A lot actually. Some people use small weights. Others use clips that clip into the hex grid of the Glowforge laser cutter. I prefer to use some powerful magnets from old (dead) hard drives. Combine them with a little bit of scrap acrylic and you’ve got a nice custom solution to help you keep your laser material in check.

Love (Con)nection at Comic Con
Imagine a room full 140 people all looking to meet someone that they can connect with. Here’s the caveat, you only have 3 minutes to make that all important first impression before you move on and get to try all over again. That’s speed dating. So what is Sci-Fi Speed Dating? Those 140 people I mentioned? They’re all at Denver Comic Con 2017. Most if not all are in cosplay in one form or another. It’s a surreal event to see Tracer from Overwatch talking to Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast. It happened, I promise. There seems to be a stigma associated with speed dating, that it is somehow a bad thing for people who have a hard time meeting others to get together in a format like this and try and make a connection. Why is that so bad? Answer: It isn’t. It’s actually kind of liberating in this environment. At least that’s what showrunner Ryan Glitch wants people to know.

Find out how you can save money with presales!
Presales are a way to gauge interest in new pins/subject matter. They are also a great way for you to get the latest PopCultPin at a discounted rate! I use a mock up of what the new pin will look like to show anyone looking what the pin will look like, without spending the time and material to make one to begin with. Then I put the design up for sale at a discount to see if people want the pin made. If I get orders on the presale,then I make the pins. Once made and ready to ship, I snap pictures for my store(s) and take the pin out of presale and sell it at the normal price.
