Still Here
I was playing with an opera company in the city last night, May 21, and went outside after the second act. I hadn’t noticed that any significant portion of the cast, orchestra or audience disappeared, and the streets seemed pretty much normal.
But then, I was in Manhattan so what did I expect?
The Vintage Web
A new site this month, The Vintage Web features links and commentary on frozen-in-time web sites, celebrating their special 1997ishness.
What? Tom Likes A Right-wing Blog?
Rick Moran’s running commentary on this season of “24″ is spot-on. One of the things that makes America the greatest country in the history of the world is that liberals and conservatives alike can join hands and agree that Chloe is awesome.
World’s Greatest Comedian
Right Here. That animated gif of the bear kills me.

Enter in an address or zip code and you’ll see a map of the neighborhood with little red, yellow or green (mostly red) Monopoly-style houses with …
Working On A New Look (with poll)
This site’s design is a little over two years old, and it’s time for a change. I’m working on something that looks roughly like this, though with the spacing and font colors adjusted so it’s legible:

Photoshop Tutorials
You might be tempted to blow this post off because it’s about Photoshop and you don’t use Photoshop and probably never will. That would be a mistake, because in the “You Suck At Photoshop” series building technical skills is only tangential to the story. The series starts like this: All …
