I'm back from my hiatus but now have a ton of email / work / flickr photos / vimeo videos to catch up on.. so it will be another day before super regularly scheduled postings begin. In the meantime, read these things and we will discuss them at greater length later:

• Last.FM facelift on the way - the entire site has apparently been redesigned and is coming soon to a browser near you. I rarely actually use the site but I'm curious to see what they come with. I will miss the pink.
• Disappearing Art - a clever and well done integration of photography and blending art. I'd love to see a live installation of this.
• 9 Reasons Why George Lucas Sucks - this list doesn't even begin to crack to the ice but it's a nice jumping off point for future ranting. If there were ever an appropriate time / place for the Writers Guild to start a blacklist of members that are never ever allowed to put pen to paper ever again - he would be on it.
