I didn't try to skew my answers to get that number. I promise. :)
I am looking forward to this one-day course with Edward Tufte, at the Atlanta Grand Hyatt on March 24th and 25th.
I updated the funnynames.com site the other day, and I thought It would be great to set up a gallery of illustrations submitted by the people. It would be sort of like the 700 hoboes project at e-hobo.com.
I asked R.Land to submit a cool t-shirt idea for the site a few years back and thought it would be great to launch the gallery with his illustration.
Other 700 projects:
- things
- dragons
- clowns
- pirates
- bunnies
- zombies
- robots
- super heroes (Underwear Clad Vigilante Mutants)
- unicorns
Update:They have all been sold.
Our neighbors had some Ridgeback puppies for sale.
I posted a page with more info for them.

I love this video.
I found it the other day while cleaning my basement.
It was on the Siggraph 97 Visual Proceedings CD-ROM.
I am calling out a new meme. It is made possible by the saturation of information available now.
Genre Porn: a highly saturated, "over the top" example of a "style", "category" or "kind", where the form, technique, content, subject mater, tone or theme are exploited to the fullest extent possible with current technology or creation methods.
In order for Genre Porn to work properly, there needs to be a large number of existing examples of that genre to combine for full effect.
One example of Genre Porn is the upcoming Tarantino/Rodriguez film "Grindhouse".
Other examples are cable channels such as "The Food Network".
