A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Sounds about right!

I agree! Not only should you make an exhibition of yourself, you’d better make sure that exhibition has just as many good rides as it does have nice flashy lights… Seriously, if there is one thing in life that a hundred years from now will determine if you lived a good life, it is the quality of stories that your descendents (which doesn’t have to mean your kids) tell about you and your life and friends.

Anyway, I do anticipate posting more to ModBlog tonight still, but the posting tonight is going to be sporadic because I’m testing some interface stuff still. The new site should be up and running on the weekend if not sooner (thanks to everyone who’s helping).

Oh — almost forgot — tattoo by Gary Weare at Living Colour in Bracknell, UK.
