So yesterday at work I get a call from a Ralph Spielman who works in the travel department at Time Inc. He's apparently a hardcore geneologist and has been searching for a long last branch of his family for years. He called me because he saw my name come up on a list of new hires and wants to know if maybe we're related. He's sending me, via inter-office mail, all of his notes and interviews and names and so forth. It's true that my great grandfather had 6 or 7 children by a first wife before my great grandmother and nobody knows what happened to those kids but come on, what are the chances?

Is there any particular reason that every book on Russian Constructivist poster design is out of print or out of stock?

I've got playing this ani difranco cd I haven't listened to in ages. Damn this is a good song. This is really a very, very good song. I'd type up the lyrics but then people will read too much into them and assume things. And things shouldn't be assumed.

It has recently been brought to my attention that people read this thing. Interesting.
