From last night’s Firefox release party, taken by my coworker Myleen:

I want one.

Update: Another coworker, Taavi, points out that it’s also available as desktop wallpaper.

CETMA Rack

CETMA Rack on Flickr

Here’s the rack I was talking about yesterday. Picked it up after work today, took 15 minutes to install. I still need to cut the fender back a bit but didn’t have anything handy to do it with. Also I can’t find my bungee net from the motorcycle, which means I probably left it on the motorcycle. Ah well, cheap enough to replace.

Now I need something to carry! And a box to put groceries in.

Spam art

Remember Spamusement? When it was still current, it featured quick pen drawings based on spam subject lines. It was hit and miss but mostly hit; however, it dried up in June 2007.

But today Neatorama linked to Kipling West’s Fresh Spam blog, in which she puts considerably more effort than Spamusement did into illustrating spam, switching styles as often as the Perry Bible Fellowship and often choosing intricacy over the quick, like in Cloven Chimera Buyers below — although she’s not afraid of a straightforward take either.

I enjoyed Spamusement’s approach but I really like what West’s doing.

I don’t know if this next one has the staying power that Spamusement or Fresh Spam will have, but Neatorama also linked to Linzie Hunter’s flickr gallery of spam-subject posters, like so:

I love this kind of hand lettering, although I’m not sure if using spam subjects makes it better or worse. Anyone know of more (non-spam) hand-lettering blogs or Flickr users showing off their handiwork?
