Hodge-podge

6

It would seem that even my Flickr stream is more “where the party’s at” than my very weblog. That hurts no one, as there are some nice photos there (my hair is featured prominently). I have, however, planned to participate in Adam’s CSS Reboot under a fitting alias. I guess that should force me into at least some activity. If you’re also in, holler!

My stats application tells me I get bazillions of referrals from a previous client, which is cool. I hope they all see that I actually also do things next to nothing, as a look at my weblog would lead one to conclude. On that note, I have been doing things. A community-ish website is coming up (running a slightly public test phase as we speak) and I’m doing a very nice, fun design for a to-be weblog. I’ll post about those things when they launch. Work includes logo design, identity work, hacking apart and together web applications and general web design. Good fun!

I’ve been more eclectic than usual these past few weeks/months, having regained my interest in Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Foucault, Paaltjens, pencils, gouache and moleskines, to name several items I can waste my time on blissfully. Related product placement: I so badly want Painter that it hurts. Ray will understand.

Oh! Oh! I will be trading in my age badge next week! It will be my 18th birthday on the 15th of March! I will be attempting some CAR DRIVING. I can legally drink whisk(e)y. I can vote for ridiculous political parties just because I can.
Boy oh boy, what an eventful coming of age! Oh, and just a snarky by the way, gifts are welcome, congratulations come in a close second.

Now to grab a painkiller. Headaches and gastroenteritis aren’t beneficial to one’s state.

    Almost a BigBoy™. That means you can use the real drugs now to battle your headache.

    You know, Painter IS really keen. I do all my inking in it, but my painting in Photoshop CS2 - go figure, eh?

    A happy 9 minutes belated b-day! I hope you had fun, or are currently having fun, or have lots of fun this weekend or whatever day you celebrate it. :)

    I’ll toast on you later tomorrow (today is tomorrow :P).

    Happy Birthday, Rob!!

    It’s a bit late, but I just didn’t know until now.
    I was sent here by a Penguin and have to say that I really like your blogs’s look. Also, your design work is really cool. Aaand you have a great LastFM playlist. Awesomeness all around.

    Congrats on the birthday. Vote. Don’t be like us here in the states. We don’t seem to get off our ass to vote a guy out of office but we’ll complain about him later.

    Gee. Thanks, guys. Apparently something has been catching all comments and marked them as spam for the past two months. I guess that should be over by now!

Participate, yes!
