Whenever I see this soy sauce packet, I think of the old masterpiece, Paradroid. IYKYK.
Last night, I dumped all the photos from my phone and grouped them into folders, mostly be events. It made me wish for an easy way to post a batch of photos along with a blog post, and I think Flickr + Jekyll can sort of get me there… but I'll probably have to write some Ruby.

Among the reasons I really grew to appreciate the Peanuts cartoons Charles M. Schulz created.

Did you know that a new Slick Rick album came out last week? I didn't, but now i do. I have only listened to bout half of it so far, but so far it's really good!
I played a bunch of "To a T". It is cute and interesting, and I like its attitude and feel, but… I don't know if I can get past the camera and controls. It really saps the enjoyment out of it for me, and I feel a little badly about that, but there it is.
