I found a new Flickr group that many of my contacts belong to. 365 Days asks its members to take a photo of themselves, once a day for a year. I never seem to have any pictures of myself, and I’ve noticed that more recently, since I’ve been involved in several new web projects. 365days [...]

LitMUSE
I purchased another domain name this evening, one I’ve kinda had for a while: litmuse.net.
