All afternoon, every couple of seconds, I’ve been peaking out of my window to see if the UPS driver is here. I don’t have a doorbell, and I’m afaid that (s)he’ll come and I won’t notice. The tracking number I have tells me that my new 21” monitor will be delivered today. Now that my system is acceptable speed-wise, I’ve started to focus more on output: monitors, scanners, printers.

Last week I finished reading Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics. This is an amazing book that anyone involved in visual arts should read. He deconstructs not just comics, but the history between visual and written communication. His common sense examples and clear diagramming of this relationship really points out the opportunities that alot of strictly visual or strictly written communicators miss out on.

Meredith okay, car okay (minor repairs), and the feable old guy without his drivers license or insurance papers is also okay.

Worried about Prius, waiting to hear more about the accident. Very glad that Meredith is okay.

Impressed with the new Google Street View. I remember when Google Maps was new, I was blown away by direct drag. Web apps have come so far.

Watching Arrested Development while you get your teeth cleaned is great. Until you laugh.
