I'd actually forgotten!

I bought t-shirts last night.

Threadless is having a sale on their wicked-cool t-shirts. Some of these are pretty high-concept designs, but, at a mere $10 per t-shirt, it's hard to beat.
But, the sale ends on 12/16, so you'd better hurry!

Scanned and sushi-ed.

It's starting to really amuse me now.

Okay, since I don't think the Queen of the Damned is capable of being quite that subtle, or that funny, it must be someone else putting the "none" on the survey.  Because, it really is starting to be really, really funny now, at least to me.

It's not quite the "birthday" of the mouse, but...

I don't generally decorate my laptop.

No, not friends...

I'm lucky. I have had a full-time job with benefits since graduating from college, less a year's worth of market fluctuation that left me unemployed for a bit. But, I knew a lot of people who couldn't find a full-time job and actually had to work several part-time gigs to make ends meet. At the time, I wondered how they dealt with health insurance, but, it turns out, most of them just did without.

I used to want to be an Author.

Back when I thought being an Author was about writing and helping other write, that was what I wanted to do. But, it turns out, being an Author only has a passing acquaintance with writing. It's apparently become a political thing that's all about belonging to the right organizations and knowing the right people and taking the right positions on things that, frankly, don't seem to matter that much to me.

I love well designed websites.

I love the look of WebUrbanist. And, their content isn't too bad, either. As I work on my Super Secret Creative Project, and the website that will support that, I think I may well try to recreate my own version of the design at WebUrbanist.

That's how much I like it.

Not sure who else will care about this.

I doubt most of my readers will care too much about this, but I do sort of follow what goes on at Six Apart. They were the first real blog company, I think. They made the first blogging software I used, MovableType, and, really, they were around before just about anyone else. As a company, they've contributed quite a bit to the blogging world, beyond their software. In short, I keep an eye on them because they're one of the big players in the blog world.
