In Good Company

Saw my STAR TREK: PHASER book at Barnes & Noble next to the Doctor Who and Superman books! So exciting! I’d love to do a mini-book kit for Who, so perhaps the licensed publishing gods will be kind!

New look, new book!

A new logo and new look for Chip Carter.com! I’m so stoked, I love this new icon, designed by the awesome folks at The MindLabs! Also … my new book (yes, it’s small – but it IS a book, gosh-darn it!) comes out this month. The Star Trek Light-up Phaser and mini-book is on Amazon […]

It’s time to lipsync … for your life!

Genius. Last night’s stunner finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race capped for me, as a marketing guy, the culmination of years of work on Ru’s part.

Head Over Achille’s Heel

It’s St. Paddy’s Day – and begorrah, I’m hoping for some luck o’ the Irish to  be rubbing my way as I begin taking steroids! No, NOT that kind of steroids. I finally went to a podiatrist. I’d just incorporated the word “orthotics” into my daily life (which – ugh, just makes you sound old […]

Sweet and savory pi

I’m not sure why I love Pi Day so much. I’m certainly not mathematical.  In the past, I’d herd my friends to the House of Pies in Silverlake and we’d eat pie, but no one would ever sing the pi-related songs I would gather from the interweb. Still … it’s Pi Day, and in just glancing […]
