My staff, incredible folks that they are, gave me a few Cuban cigars and The Zombie Survival Guide. Needless to say, I was on the verge of tears. Now I can survive an onslaught of the undead and enjoy fine Cuban cigars while I do so.
The book is by Max Brooks, Mel’s son. Very deadpan. I was expecting it to be a bit more over the top. But what they heck. We are dealing with the undead here. In includes details about the undead, fighting tactics and general strategies.
“Don’t be carefree and foolish with your most precious asset — life. This book is your key to survival against the hordes of undead who may be stalking you right now without even knowing it.”
Guess that could apply to Christmas shoppers, too …

Testing the comments. Zombies are cool, but not as cool as Cuban cigars.
The zombie pin-ups, that’s the ticket!
Did I tell you about the El Rico Habana yet?
Keep MT. You should be able to import all of your old posts from greymatter.
Actually, that’s what I’m working on now … importing my posts from Greymatter. I like Greymatter, but he’s basically quit developing it. It’s pretty much of a dead end. MT seems to be pretty vibrant, and it wan’t too hard to set up and configure.
Actually, I like this typeface much better. Keep this one.
I agree on the font, but it runs counter to conventional Net design. Generally, “they” claim san serif fonts are easier to read on low resolution computer screens. I think this is just using the default font, whatever that happens to be. But it appears to be a serif font of some type.
I’m actually talking to someone to help me redesign the whole site. It’s really become a bramble of photos, thoughts and oddity that I’d like to prune and impose order on. Design clearly isn’t my think. so I might bring in a little professional help.
As an ex-designer and possessor of a snotty art school degree, may I say that sans serif type is NEVER easier to read than a serifed font. There are solid, design-backed reasons for this that will not change in any media, but I’ll spare you the geeky details.
