This month’s colors were a really rushed decision because I couldn’t think of anything interesting that happened to me five, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years ago. Well, nothing worth mentioning these days. So I fell back on anything … Continue reading

One can never know too much in my opinion

It must’ve been a slow news day when the Chicago Tribune ran this story about iPhone users knowing too much. Actually it originated from the LA paper the Tribune Corp. owns, is selling or whatever, I only know that the … Continue reading

A theme some of my friends will hate me for

Finally! My original plan to do something involving Converse had to be shelved. Heck, even they didn’t have anything new on their own site until a couple days ago. Nice to see a Fortune 500 company (division of Nike since … Continue reading

Pardon my virtual dust

Coming up with an appropriate theme for January 2008 has been a stumper. On the one hand, it’s the centennial of Converse, maker of my favorite shoes, but getting their logo to fit in my banner wasn’t easy. As for … Continue reading

A link to help with resolutions: stop talking in Moronese

What’s with these colors again?

Before the month is over, I wanted to explain (or blather) about December 2007’s color theme which is based upon Duran Duran’s second album Rio. Not only was it their breakthrough record in the US, it is their best Astronaut, … Continue reading

People are frequently asking me, how many pairs of Chucks (Converse High Tops) do I own. At this time the answer is 28 and I have some really cool designs. Then Somara sent me a link of this handpainted pair. I … Continue reading
