The teachings of HTML can (almost) be broken down in two all-ruling disciplines: style a.k.a manipulating the appearance, and referring , a.k.a marking and pointing to locations...

Giz friend Adam Savage , in our estimation, can make just about anything. Here he explains the path he took to turn a toy gun into an astoundingly sharp Blade Runner pistol replica.
I made my first Blade Runner pistol when I was 18, while living in Hell's Kitchen, NYC. I stared at the VHS version on pause and made sketches. Put it together from toys and model kit parts. It's lovely and ter...
