Designing a New Dutch 5 Euro Coin – Art and Tech Collide
Ron | October 30, 2008
This is *so* cool. I want one!
A contest was held to design a new Dutch 5 Euro coin, and a guy named Stani won, using fairly geeky methods and only free software to come up with something that’s actually quite beautiful and modern.

I’ve never been a big fan of SNL, too many misses for my taste, but the political ones these past few weeks have been pretty sharp. “Shopping.” Ahh, Tina Fey is so awesome!

Kenshin OAV – Interpreting Motions of the Hand
Ron | October 17, 2008
I just had an evil thought: Opening a restaurant across the street from Shinsengumi’s called Roshigumi.
OK, I lied again. I’ll write about my thoughts on yin/yang and the arts later.
OK, I lied. I’ve been having difficulty concentrating lately. Maybe writing will help. This originally was going to be a post about just the first Kenshin [...]
