Check out Google’s version of “Starry Night” as a birthday tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, whose 152nd birthday is today:

Haha, this site is great (even though it’s in French): StephaneGuillot.com. My favorite part is the fire-breathing by the designer’s animated self after returning from the “Contact” page Note: sound is turned on.

I love this shirt from ThinkGeek:

It wasn’t working right yesterday, but I’m glad it is now — I can’t believe how many different pictures there are of just letters!

Cash register guy at Festival after looking at my JACard: “My buddies and I were talking the other day about the coolest last name to have, and this was it.” I was like awesome

The above image was created with amaztype, a typographic book search that uses Amazon.com merchandise. If nothing else, try it for the cool animated building process!

Doing the following on 5 1/2 hours of sleep is tiring: class, art store, Staples, CVS, lunch, class, Warren, Duke lab, and whatever else is to follow. At least I don’t have to go anywhere else except dinner.

The computer labs at JMU (especially Duke) suck — they’re so confusing. I just spent like $3 trying to print a $0.50 color graphic on 11 x 17 paper for tomorrow *sigh* Oh well … at least I’ve sort of figured it out now. Need to find a way to carry it too.

And I wish I lived in San Francisco … there’s a WordPress party tomorrow because the download counter has hit and passed 100,000 (which is awesome), but no. The DC WordPressers are slackers

Happy Palm Sunday/first day of spring.

Well, this was a pretty busy weekend: Saturday was brunch with Ross and my dad, dinner at Damon’s Grill for Brian’s dad’s birthday, and the Globetrotters (funny show). Today was Easter dinner (a week early due to travel plans and the presence of Matt) at Brian’s parents’ house, homework, and driving back to JMU. I know that probably doesn’t sound like much, but each event was long. I also got an Easter basket!

In web news, Yahoo actually does acquire Flickr … I don’t use it anymore since I host my own photos, but for those who do, I wonder how the switch will go. It was nice for the brief couple weeks I was a member, but alas.

Need to bookmark this: Nifty Corners. Who knew rounded corners could be done without images and CSS?

Yahoo Avatars are fun (except you need IE). Check out the avatar version of me:

This is my 1,111th post!

Now for the cabin recap. It was mostly fun. The scenery was beautiful and I hope to go back sometime. I “let loose” and ate more junk food than usual (Coke, Swiss Cake Rolls, Fudge Rounds, Cheetos, french toast sticks, etc.) and drank (but didn’t get drunk). A sweet husky dog we named Cookie came to visit us a couple times a day We cooked steak, burgers, and hot dogs outside. Then we roasted marshmallows. Jason and Jasmeen’s inMotion speakers for their iPods provided ample music and their PlayStation provided entertainment (board/card games did the rest). Everyone except Brian and I got to go in the hot tub, which kinda sucked … but I guess when guys get drunk (especially Matt) and the girls don’t care, previous plans don’t matter. I realized that driving a stick on a mountain is a challenge, and that Luray Caverns is closer to JMU than I thought. I had the most fun up until last night … then it slowly went downhill. But that’s no one’s fault — my getting comfortable with people (and staying that way) is hard.
