  Post of the Day @ Leahpeah Read her piece about R. Kelly’s Trapped in The Closet. And my favorite resource site Wikipedia has a full synopsis too: Trapped In the Closet. It indicates that there are indeed going to be 10 parts to the saga. Oi vey.

  Joseph in Cyrillic More travels through packrat-ism. In about 1994 I worked with a _very_ diverse staff of Respiratory Therapists. One of the women was a Russian, and I prevailed upon her to write my name, “Joseph” in Cyrillic. It looks pretty cool. And now that I’ve scanned it, I’ve one less piece of paper! Yay for trimming...

  Spoils of Google Talk: Cantenna Illustration One of my pals, Binary Wolf, and I, spoke for more than an hour (was it two?) yesterday — about all topics. Quite a wonderful conversation between two cable-modem havin’ guys. Turns out he was looking for a logo, and right there on the audio call, I whipped up an illustration that now graces his...
