I love the illustration and animation of Laith Bahrani. One of his more recent projects, “The JCB Song” is no exception.

Sorry for the lame camera phone picture, but I had to show you all this desk drawer. It’s in the Church Office Building, 6th floor. It’s the best selection in a desk drawer I’ve ever seen. It’s well stocked, too. Booya. Someone sure loves junk food.

Today del.icio.us tastes a little sweeter. The newest release of the firefox extension is well worth the download.
