I’ve been working most of the day, but took some time out for fun posts: Star Wars stamps at Common Themes, and weightless flights being sold by Sharper Image at CSpace. I also made a favicon to match my Themes masthead, finally.
My U2 afternoon yesterday didn’t end there: Johan and I spent last night creating [...]

As as few of you knew, I submitted Zip and Themes to 9Rules during the Round 5 submissions in October. Since they received almost 1100 submissions, it took a while to go through, and they are now starting to announce their selections, on a daily basis over the next two weeks. I have few hopes [...]
