October Update...
Now that the weather's cooled off, I can get away with wearing a hoodie to work. It's just right for blocking out the damn overhead lights, and doesn't look silly, like a bush hat, photographer's hood, or similar. Perhaps an Indiana Jones-style hat would go with some forms of business casual. I'll have to keep that in mind once the after-christmas sales arrive.

After a brief correction, it looks like commodities are finally moving north again. Perhaps the vaunted oil baron election-buying machine ran out of steam. Oh well.

I went shopping for a new cellphone last week, and found that my overpriced, 'do everything' plan is now a bargain by comparison. This is depressing in so many ways.

Pay no attention to the Atlanta Thrashers. There is nothing to see here. It's just the opening week, it will be a long season, blah, blah, blah. Move along.

So, we had the Vampire: the Eternal Struggle North American Contenental Championship a few weeks ago, in East Point. It was a blast all weekend, and I got to put the "dark half" of my art collection on display -- this meant building a basic display backing to hang the framed pieces from, and that was interesting. Thanks to my engineer/designer friend, who reminded me of the K.I.S.S. approach. I ended up with three 2'x 4' plywood sheets, hinged in a zigzag pattern. cover them with cheap polyester cloth, place the assembly on a folding table, and presto! it's a backing.
