A new site I built is now live: Hollister Thomas Photography. The original designer sort of disappeared so I took his initial rough design, finished the details, and built the site.

Dubya the Menace is a randomized Dennis The Menace comic with real quotes, straight from George W. Bush’s mouth.
I don’t really ride any more but I can still appreciate it. This video of Scotty Cranmer takes skatepark riding into videogame territory…

The Ideological Animal (Psychology Today) We think our political stance is the product of reason, but we’re easily manipulated and surprisingly malleable. Our essential political self is more a stew of childhood temperament, education, and fear of death. Call it the 9/11 effect… [A study] found …
