The Charon Sheet: A Facelift
About damn time, really. The old site was brown and more brown, combined with a ginormous font file resulting in some terrible behavior. I shall say no more. Those dark times are past.

Happy Birthday, Homeboy
Greg’s birfday was yesterday, and at this point I think he’s had a solid five days of celebrating. His parents flew in from Scottsdale, Arizona on Thursday, as his father’s birfday was Saturday.

Forever and a Year Ago Linkage
Don’t ask where I’ve been. It’s been dark and full of things like strangely proud “humble views”, polka dots and stripes, mock objects, skiing, the IRS, gradients, and a strange dampness. Still not sure where the dampness is from. Getting back into the swing of things, have some links!
