Ten years ago today, I bought the t-shirt that remains my favorite today.

Called one for the treble, the rhythm is the rebel.

Editors, take note. Please.

Until I get a stylus to use with Paper (for iPad), I’ll just draw this over and over again. paper.fiftythree.com

This is not why I come to Texas in March.
