Mmmm, it does go well with the chicken

Del.icio.us again, Phil.

So, I started a Del.icio.us account, for those who might be interested. I also added the code here for my cloud, as you can see down the right side.

I feel that my cloud is already suffering from some of the effects of these open tagging systems, but I will attempt to maintain control. We'll see, er, you'll see how it goes, I guess.

Maps, sketches, ...

My "Personal DNA Map" (via PersonalDNA). Mouse over the color bars to see the dimensions of personality they measure. Not clear why they use "DNA" in their title, though.

Some interesting sketches.

I was simply trying to eat a cupcake and read interesting stuff when the guy next to me uses the phrase, "I'll just Mapquest that bad-boy" and ends his call with, "whatever's clever, man!" Congratulations, Saturday's Douchebag of the Day! We love ya.

In spite of that guy, however, there is some really great stuff here. I am trying to learn proce55ing!

There are so many things that I would describe as having this attribute. Here is a nice collection. What are the "collections" in your own life?
