For now we're selling three posters about U.S. military history and another called the DIY Manifesto. In the next few months we'll be coming out with a line of pocket guides including one on the General Motors/Standard Oil/Firestone streetcar conspiracy that I'm doing with /.'s own Interrobang. Give me a few days and I'll have updated info on my reed and wright site.

Never dyed your hair?
