Waiting for a customer to call me back…

Whenever someone tells me the will call me “right back” with their billing info, it translates to “no matter how long I hang by my desk waiting, they will actually call the moment I leave to do something else.” But that’s what voicemail is for, after all.

OTOH, I have doves/pigeons cooing outside my window, which is nice.

PMS matching for your coffee

MyCuppa - ensuring the perfect coffee to cream ratio.

Personally, I’m ok judgging *my* cuppa by eye, but the concept is cute.

Not quite what I wanted, but…

I wanted to get a batik effect with this. Didn’t really succeed, but I like where it did go.

We’re a creative bunch

Most folks who know me in RL know my mom’s a sculptor/illustrator. I sometimes mention that most of the rest that family are professional artists of some stripe. Today I thought I’d spotlight my aunt Jenny (photo-realistic acrylics).

Just doodling

Wanted to see what I could do with just painter and photoshop - no physical sketchbook used.

Feature wishing

The “starred” feature in google reader and gmail is nice, but something allowing me to “mark as unread” would be even nicer.

Ditto for the new “auto-blogroll” - which I would consider using if there was a way to customize the display. (re-skinning the colors doesn’t cut it - I want full css control.)

Blood on Satin’s got a game set up at the old church in Nutley…. feel like coming out for an evening? It’s new World of Darkness - we’ve got mages, vampires, and werewolves as PC’s so far. (with talk of Changeling in the near future.)
