Gridlocke: a bit of horn tooting but also something terrific

Some amazing people I know started a tumblr devoted to designing image grids around all kinds of themes. There are some really amazing things here and I was fortunately asked to create a post, so I thought I could use this venue to both show some jokes I made (with deep props to my friend […]

Internet search produces unexpected breakthrough

So. As I’m not a great speller I recently quickly googled “gorgeous” to make sure I had spelled it correctly. Um… I found something interesting in the process.
