If it’s not one thing…

…it’s another. Neptune, my faithful Mac G4 of five(?) years is trying to die. After acting slow and squirrely for a few weeks, I decide to wipe her clean. Despite having a complete lobotomy, she still acts not-quite-right and makes horrible beeping noises when she unsuccessfully boots. This afternoon she goes to the local Mac hospital for a diagnosis: here’s hopin’. I’m kinda torn up about what I want the prognosis to be. On one hand, a new G5 would be freakin’ sweet. On the other hand, a new G5 would be freakin’ expensive. Arrgh!

Right before Neptune decided to suffer from a major malfunction, I managed to get my new daily blog up and running: Epicycloid-A-Day! Hooray! In this fantastic new creation, I will post one blue ball-point pen drawing of an epicycloid per day. Following closely on the blog’s heels is a massive gallery on the website of all my epicycloid-makers, more commonly known as Spirographs. I’m very excited about this project: the idea of all that cataloging and classifying! Oooo! It’s already started! Can’t wait to post the galleries! Oh boy oh boy!
