I've always wanted a pinball machine, and now I own a robot construction themed one. We'll be rolling out a high score contest soon, so get ready to win big prizes for your pinball skills. I'm very interested in the idea of a pinball machine being an interactive art object. It insists that you give it money and invest your time in learning it's arcane rules and intricacies and rewards you by revealing hidden aspects of itself and awarding you points. It's a very early form of electro-mechanical interactive art, and fun as heck too. Pinball rules. Bring quarters!

Check it out and all the other Hijinx tchotchkes over at our Cafe Press store. We don't make any money on these products, but we'd love to see you buy some! update After much teeth-knashing and number crunching, it's been decided that every time you purchase a graphic novel, and remember to bring your official Hijinx tote, you'll earn an extra 1% on every bookclub purchase every single time you bring your bag! Offer good for life of the owner or life of the bag. It's our way of encouraging you to use less disposable bags and more pork-themed eco-totes!
