birthday

Looks like I’m going to be having about as close as I get to a birthday party down at Kulture Friday night.

So in addition to Nathans photographs, you get to see me. If you like Nathans photographs and hate me, you are just going to have to make that decision on your own.

Oh, and it’s only a day late for Todd’s birthday as well, who promises to be in attendance.

The Square Root

Some friends of mine are opening a new resturant/bar in Brevard, NC. It’s called The Square Root.

There’s an article about The Square Root in the Hendersonville News.

They are opening up tomorrow. So if you are in the area, drop by.

Just talked to them on the phone. It was kind of weird exchanging stories about trying to open a bar (at least, by proxy, in my case). Being non geeks, they don’t quite have the web site up yet.

time for change

Anyone in the Raleigh area know of a bank/etc that has change counting machines that do not charge a large fee like the coinstar machines. I’ve got several years worth of change I need to get rid of (by my estimate, ~$900) and would prefer to avoid the coinstar machines. Bonus points if it’s a BB&T.

gimp brushes

So I’ve been tasked with trying to update the set of default brushes included with GIMP for it’s 2.4 stable release.

So, since this gets syndicated in a couple of planets for free/open graphics software, I figured I’d ask if anyone has any interesting brushes they would like to see included by default. High res brushes and brushes demonstration the brush pipes in particular would be good, but I’m interested in seeing what folks have.
