i found my calling

I saw something this week that blew me away. I can't get it out of my head:

The most amazing thing is that it was created from this:
(a toy VW van blank from Mattel)

I want to learn how to do this, and start doing it as soon as possible. It's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

NaBloPoMo

Otherwise known as "National Blog Posting Month", NaBloPoMo is a challenge to post something to your blog EVERY DAY IN NOVEMBER. No exceptions. This includes Saturdays and Sundays, Holidays, business trip days, even the day you leave for Jamaica. So I'm going to do this. I may have tried last year - I don't remember. Undoubtedly, if I did, I failed.

At least I know that November is one helluva full month - there should be lots of stuff to post about. Such as the very cool thing that a very cool doggy thing we all know and love won yesterday at this work thing. Picture-y things to come.

Anyways, tonight I'm going to a work party with JR that his company is having at the Exploratorium. I love that place!
