I donno, I was just thinkin’ less purple, more green. For spring, ya know? That, and I’m becoming unhinged towards my existing branding, the whole “brown and ambiguously-purple” thing. Purple is out, green is in. Next in line is hot pink, but I wanted to ease ya’ll into this thing slowly. [...]

Wintry Remix
What’s up, ya’ll? I was feeling bored and listless, so I rebuilt the desktop wallpaper gallery over at Brainside Out. The new version pulls from a database and generates thumbnails and other nefarious stuff like that, but the most important thing for you guys is actually three most important things:

Don’t Mess With Jesse Ventura
Hey.
Figured I’d let ya’ll know that I’ve uploaded all my Yellowstone pictures to my Flickr account.
