~ …the angry red planet was hard at work bringing updates to the u.s.a. scene report [again].

~ while many offices in the city were shut down by the winter’s snowful
wrath, the angry red planet was hard at work bringing updates to the u.s.a. scene report.

~ also, it has come to our attention, repeatedly, that the ‘comments’ feature is quite lame. first, because no one uses it, and secondly, because it took us 10 minutes to figure out what rasterboy [w] was ‘working on’. we had wrongfully assumed that he meant that he was working on his ‘computers’ rastergallery.

~ now that we are on the subject, those of the horde who are interested in donating laptops (powerbooks, thinkpads, notebooks, etc.) to the angry red planet should note that the community would be greatly served if they were to arrive before december 13th, as we are closing the office for the holidays and departing for paris on the following day. contact us for the shipping information.

~ one would be justified in pointing our absence as sign of the lethargy which pervades our offices this time each year (in a fashion similar to late spring and summer). in our defense, we would enjoy to indicate how the energies of our offices have been depleted by the work being cooked up over at sisyphean.com [w].
