There’s plenty going on these days, but that’s all I can think of to share at the moment.
This evening, I got the urge to try and make a wallet out of Gorilla Tape. I’d call the project a definite success (especially considering this was a first go at it), but the result won’t be replacing my usual wallet.
Related note: I like the new Craft magazine even more than I enjoy it’s big brother, Make.
It must have been sometime in college that I read Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind. It easily became one of my all-time favorite novels. (It also makes an interesting gift for a new girlfriend, FYI. There are two copies in my house… I’m just sayin’…)

I can dig it…

For the record, Po Bronson’s book by that title doesn’t really provide any answers. It just tells you about some of the lucky bastards who have figured out an answer to the question.
So, yeah… This is something I’m thinking about a lot these days. Unless something changes drastically and some switch gets flipped in my head, I don’t see myself doing what I’m doing now for more than, say, another five years.
So what do I want to do instead? I have absolutely no idea.
