Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My goofy boss was trying to make the argument recently that the stamps look better than the scanned ones. Maybe a really good stamp, maybe if the person is likely to use a felt tip pen, but otherwise, I'm thinking NSM.

Art Crawl!!!

Today is Michelle Trachtenberg's 21st birthday. How is this possible?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Huh, according to Wikipedia, jaguars do range in size larger than mountain lions -- though reading closely, it turns out that pumas tend to be larger the farther you get from the Equator, and the biggest jaguars are in Equatorial jungles, so I have a factual basis for my impression.

A friend of mine started printing all her handwriting in Graffiti once she got a Palm Pilot.

I've written a fair amount of fiction in longhand cursive. It's slower, but it actually kind of helps me think out what I'm writing -- it's yet another channel into the brain.

Because books.

MSNBC is reporting that a helicopter crashed into a high-rise apartment building at 71st and York, and there's been some kind of explosion.

Now tagless for your comfort.

You can also get rubber stamps made of people's sigs, but they are easier to tell than scanned sigs.

I have a rubber stamp of my sig from my old job. I need to get rid of all my rubber stamps though. Owen got a hold of my Notary stamp the other day and I'm still finding stamped places all over the house. (Thank you, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just saw that on the news -- they're now saying "aircraft" because it might have been a small plane.

Bloody hell. I hope they are right it is a small aircraft. Last time I heard a small aircraft, those were the first reports from the Pentagon hit, people saying it was a small private plane...

Because books.

They keep saying they don't know which, but suspect it might have been a helicopter because of a heliport at 63rd St.

Such an awful deja vu feeling, watching all the smoke.
