So I was recently contacted by Kristen over at Grass Roots Advertising. Kristen happened upon the site and wanted to know if I’d be interested in adding some ads on certain pages, pretty much just text with links. I was a little intrigued and we discussed it back and forth a bit; in the end I decided it wasn’t the best fit for the site. I do kind of like the idea though – contacting bloggers directly to place targeted ads on relevant pages is really not a bad idea, and I wish the folks at Grass Roots the best of luck. (See Kristen, there you go, this one’s on the house.)

In other news – wow. Things change, but life just keeps on going, mostly, until it doesn’t anymore. Mine is still going, despite the cobwebs you see around here. I’ve had a few other projects in the works that have been pulling my attention away from amphichon (and unfortunately I can’t link to them from here for privacy reasons) but don’t worry, I think there’ll always be a place for amphichon in the big picture and I’ll try to update a bit more often.

If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” – Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

it holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it.

I recently broke down and got a pro account at Flickr so I could start hosting more of my images online. This one is from a trip to the coast last year with friends Alex, D and R. Feel free to poke around over there; many more pictures are on the way.

On the retirement of Castro:

“Eventually this transition ought to lead to free and fair elections, and I mean free and I mean fair, not these kind of staged elections that the Castro brothers try to foist off as being true democracy” – George W. Bush, brother of Jeb

Did someone whisper
I’m really not so sure
I could’ve been asleep
Is everyone this frightened?
Are there more like me? There’s just got to be.
