One of my favorite painters – Jonathan Viner. It’s his style, technique, and palette which I find fascinating. Looking for prints? Check out Jonathan LeVine Gallery in NYC. Hurry – prints are limited.

Just yesterday, I sent this updated/unfinished site to several friends who are in finance (I think), IT (of sorts), real estate, FX trading (?), and bumming around drinking beers at lunch. Kindly, everyone responded – for which I am very thankful. Thanks again guys, I appreciate the time spent reviewing. I specifically asked for suggestions relating to grammar and spelling; however, I welcomed comments regarding design (font color – hah!), functionality, usability, and server issues. A few wished images would enlarge after clicking, wanting the ability to comment on specific works, a click-able email address, removing a contact link from header (currently 2 links), issues while viewing with IE6 (man…), and of course – changing the font color. All good comments. Need to finish up a couple freelance assignments – then will address suggestions above. Thanks again guys.

My friend Andy from LA sent me a link to the New York Times this morning. Apparently, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke has a new band! Check out the video above. Bass player look familiar?

My parents came to visit this past weekend from WA. They were only here for a short while; though, my Mom was able to make 2 visits to H Mart’s new Burlington, MA location! She thought it would be a good idea for me to try a variety of healthy rice. The list: black rice, mixed grain cereale, sushi rice (healthy, right?), nutri-grain whole brown rice, pressed barley, and jasmine rice. Thanks Mom!

I actually love you guys. The amount of time I spend emailing you guys and talking to you everyday… We actually get closer to each other than we realize. I have never written a diary or anything but yet google mail stores everything that I write to u (bleep)… Which in reality is a diary. If I look back on all the emails I’ve sent and received, it reads like an open book of character. I have never had this much communication with other friends nor have I had this much communication with online peeps on facebook or myspace nor with (bleep) from da clubs. But ultimately guys, jabbering on email like we do is either incredibly (bleep) or incredibly stupid or incredibly meaningless. I chose to believe that it’s an incredible forum of friendship and love amongst tall ships in the harbor. No where else can we say the same hurtful things to each other and yet all is forgiven and we all protect who can and cannot join the email group. I ask all of you to ask someone you know… Do you spend time everyday talking to and dissing a group of your friends on email? Answer will be no. Then when belani has a problem with kerrigan, we can all meet face to face and say stop crying belani. I may be drunk tonite… But I think what we really have is friendship. I love you guys for the email presence and especially cos we can meet up after and talk face to face. If we didn’t email each other everyday, we would really miss it. U guys mean a lot to me… More than I imagined.. So let’s stay in touch (bleep)! Healthcare to all!

Saw a Masi bike a few weeks back during a lunch break. Check out their online catalog here. Also, my birthday just passed; however, I’m still accepting gifts:)
