The only illustration collection at IconBuffet which isn't associated with an icon set is Machu Picchu ... and I'm kinda pleased with how all one hundred and six vector thingies turned out! The assorted images above (very assorted), as well as many much more practical clips (I promise), are available for purchase (without, of course, the pesky graphical security measures).

Cursor Wednesday

Since a cursor is a constant GUI presence - all day darting back and forth across the computer screen with every movement of the mouse - it being as big a desktop icon seems a little much. But it would seem that some people dig such a thing, and I aim to please.

Among other many other categories, I was commissioned to create a few famous landmarks. It was rather challenging (and it reminded me how poorly travelled I am). Obviously, the Twin Towers were a touchy topic, but everyone agreed that the disservice isn't in depicting them but in forgetting them.

(The above cursors are presented at 200% to show detail and to discourage their usage elsewhere. Examine the details. Be discouraged. Don't use them elsewhere. Thanks!)

Please eat your breakfast, apply your makeup, shave, and /or phone your friend before you get into your automobile. And once you're in your automobile, please use your turn signals. Thank you.

a word from our sponsor

One way I get my audio jollies is to create lengthy MP3 playlists fashioned after radio broadcasts. My format is this: Station identification followed by five tunes, commercial break, station identification, five more tunes, commercial break, station identification, et cetera. I've amassed quite a cache of retro radio ads, a few originating with Basic Hip (back in the day when he was occasionally offering them) and the remainder acquired from quiet little corners of the web which have since vanished without a trace. Here are three particularly fabulous brief interruptions:

1. The CBS Thursday Night Movie
2. Chevy Chevelle
3. The Born Losers
