- One bedtime treat is reading young Finnegan an ABC book from the amazing Charley Harper. (Reading him the marvelously weird Charlie Parker Played Be Bop is another.)
- The Photoshop team coffee pot was recently broken again–and yes, QE has graphed the impact!
- This “Tech support cheat sheet” from xkcd is spot-on funny. [Via]

Erik Johansson has some great stuff. I like his 2007 series in his gallery.
Wired video was really interesting—It’s funny he mentioned the whole CG car issue, my friend did some retouching for Lexus and I was like “what?” when he told me the cars are all CG in the ads now. Crazy.
I’d seen this before and mercifully forgotten it. Why or why, John, did you bring this to my attention again? http://www.dd.chalmers.se/~joherik/photos/kristina.html (from the Erik Johansson link) 😉
