Xray

This is an xray of my elbow.  I broke it in 2000 playing lacrosse, but it's pretty much good as new.  I just think it's a cool picture.

Woodstock poster artist

Last Thursday I went to the International Poster Gallery, on Newbury Street in Boston.  It's such a cool place for anyone into graphic design.  It's filled with posters and vintage graphics from Art Deco, to Soviet, to Travel.

They invited the artist who designed the iconic Woodstock poster to talk a bit about it's creation.  He also designed a 40th anniversary tribute poster that was for sale.  One detail I found interesting: because the venue and band list wasn't set until close to the event, they organizers printed the poster without the black plate (text) first.  They added it later once the information set.

Old Google

...And other past versions of sites. Although the website is hard to navigate, Archive.org catalogs all the incarnations of websites. The "WayBack Machine" lets you plug in a URL and returns results with dates of older versions.  So much for the ephemeral state of the Internet!
