PWNing it.

Oh-- having a little too much fun with the dogtags, but too bad. Some are trash but-- y'know, experimenting. (Remember you can click any of these pics for a bigger, better view)
I like "EFF EFF EFF" and "FDL STX", also "BOO" "WEE" and "UGLY"-- what a provocative word. (Scott Westerfield's book "Uglies" really makes you think about it.) "EFF ITY F" is a keeper, and I did a couple potential pet ones-- "WOOF YO" and "ME OW". Some of the best people are animals.

I like the idea of mixing them up. Tomorrow I'll do some more. I like "BOO RDLY" and "STAY GOLD" -- or "STY GLD"?, and really really like "NOT SCRD". If anyone has any good ones comment it up puh-leeze.

Birch sculpture-- pwned baby-- I think. I need to hang out with it a few days and look at it to be sure. I always want to keep filling, but these guys are all about negative space. I might email them a pic tomorrow and see what they think.

This is art, not monkey bars, and these welds aren't super strong, but they're solid (wiggle and yank tested), and pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

I likes it. I'll have to keep looking at it for a while though. Normally I'd wash it up outside and scrub all the welds w/ a toothbrush and let the edges all rust. No hose right now. Considering hauling it to the manual car wash in town. I can always rust it up a little w/ spray bottles.

I don't know if I fell into a wormhole today or looked at the clock wrong or just actually pwned the hell out of my run, but it was a fast one yo. Pam says when I am in front and go down hills it's like I have a rocket on my back. I have pretty limber hip felxors and several gears, and sometimes just windmill it out. On flats and down hills I keep telling myself, "this isn't costing you anything-- just go for it." Uphills it's usually more about not screwing up the trail right now for the bikes. Sometimes I kind of hop it up the side edges. Anyway, felt good, plus met a couple of kitty hat fans from the trail forum so that was cool.

Almost totally done with this pass of revision and I'm liking it big time. I know that's not very Midwestern of me-- liking my own work etc, but-- I did grow up mainly in Montreal. Whatever. I'm super into it. One more pass and it's out to betas (people read for you to give you feedback).

That's all the fascinating SueNews for now. Later peeps.
