I really have no idea where this came from. I just decided to mix and match two unlikely objects. And that gives you a razormonkey. Watch out — he’ll cut you.

I was inspired to do this by a picture I saw on ffffound — I started with a silhouette, made a small circle, then used Inkscape’s spraypaint tool to fill in the silhouette with clones of the small circle. Because the spraypaint tool is kind of messy and spontaneous even with the tightest settings, most of the work here was moving wayward circles back into the edges of the silhouette, as well as resizing and placing circles to follow the contour of it.

I’m about the biggest fanboy that Google has, but I’ll also be the first one to tell you it’s kind of scary how much they know about me. I believe that they totally live up to their idea of “don’t be evil” and I love the things that they are doing to know me better, but it does make me hard to sell their ideas when the things that they do have a high creepy factor. I’m okay with a little creepy if it helps me get to my info quicker. I’m okay with Google knowing who I am.

I just thought this was a funny way to arrange text, and was looking for a reason for the pieces to be blocking each other.

So, you have likely heard the saying that the pen in mightier than the sword. You can make your own joke here if you’d like.

I don’t think I’ll be traveling overseas anytime soon. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I think it is ludicrous to have to choose between being visually strip-searched and being groped. When the first post-scanner bomber successfully emerges, I wonder what dignities we’ll lose next? Also, how long until we start seeing the supposedly unkept images presented as “The top 10 hottest scanned babes ever!”? Some parts of the time we live in are amazingly wonderful, and others are just… amazing.
