I’ll just let this link speak for itself.

Interesting reading for anyone who plans to enter or leave the United States in 2007 and beyond.

What do you all think? Malarkey, or brown trousers time?

I was fooling around with image software and ended up with a new desktop background.. which with a few tweaks became a web banner.. which with more tweaking became a desktop again.. which eventually became a website background.. which went right back to being a desktop again.

Then I realized I needed to get some new business cards made up, and had the idea to plaster a URL over the graphic I had been fiddling with and just use that.

This is the result so far. (Thumbnail - click to embiggen.)

Some of those blue glyphs are just placeholders until I figure out some better ones to use, but all in all I’m digging this so far.

If some mysterious strange nerdy starving artist type handed you a business card like this (with the requisite boring business card info on the flipside, of course,) would you be inspired to commision work from him, laugh at him, or poke his eyes out? Or all three?

The Bodies Exhibition was amazing, it’s something everyone should see if they can stomach it. It’s set up in the South Street Seaport, and it had been too long since I checked that area out. You can really feel Old New York about the place.

Speaking of old things, I’m 29 today.

Tomorrow I’m going with some friends to see (warning: medically explicit link ahead) Bodies: the Exhibition. If you’re in the area and would like to bump into me, get in touch!

This site, and all my others, was down from last night to this afternoon, thanks to a snafu at my upstream. It’s all better now, but my emails were also dead, so if you sent me something and didn’t get a response please re-send it.

Alternatively, if you sent me something and did get a response, but it wasn’t the one you wanted, you can re-send also. I have many stock replies, and nowhere near enough opportunity to use them.

My phone was also dead for much of this past weekend, so if you called me and I missed it, call me back and I’ll have less of an excuse.

On the bright side.. new tune!
