Not all the sectors are in bad shape. As you can see local government and state government are still doing pretty well. I guess we need more people in the government to do the right thing ;/

I got this one from Kim’s blog. Kim is a wonderful artist I work with.
“To my darling husband,
Before you return from your business trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway.
Fortunately not too bad and I really didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me. I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway, I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pickup luckily came to a halt when it bumped into your car. I am really sorry, but I know with your kind heart and magnanimous personality you will forgive me.
You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart.
I am enclosing a picture for you.
I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.
Your loving wife.

P.S. Your girlfriend called.â€

I bought a Cintiq 12WX recently from Wacom, and haven’t used it for any real work, yet, besides drawing and painting for fun. After watching this video, I really want to try to do a 3D project with this new tablet.
The video demo is cool, but I noticed a few lags with the app here and there. I am not sure how complex the code behind this is, but from a user standpoint, that is undesirable. Still a pretty cool video to watch though.
