happiness Today marks the official PR launch of ReadyMade Inside, Out contrib Chris Gardner's brainchild, the website ManMade. The site is about creativity and the handmade life for the laddish set, but it doesn't draw the boundaries in black and white. In the words of the site's 'about' page, "ManMade features original how-to content, videos, and design inspiration created by both women and men. It’s for anyone that says 'Hey, I can do that,' and believes that sewing machines and tablesaws alike belong in the workshop." Here's to that. The site is off to a strong start, with how-tos and inspirations including how to make a manly DIY aftershave and how to make a keychain screwdriver, and it's already started a weekly tradition of publishing handmade haikus every Wednesday. (A sample:

saw, table saw Your cuts are sans splinters, still you trip the breaker). Chris is celebrating the launch by making available this downloadable poster, "Happiness Is a Warm Glue Gun." (Oh yes it is.)
