Sketch-it

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

As my good friend Amit put it:

Sometimes the Internet is really cool

It’s funny, just a couple of days prior to Amit blogging about Sketch-it, I had submitted a picture to another fantastically talented illustrator, Paul Schaner, over at iconizeme.com.

Illustrators are finding ways to generate extra income from the thing that they are most passionate about. Creating incredible art.

Scott Moore is an amazing illustrator, and just started a new blog called Sketch-It. Pay him and his remote team a dollar, and they’ll make an incredible illustration for you, of anything you want. Check out the one they did for me of my blog header. You guys rock!!

The internet is really cool. And, as more people harness it to do what they love, its only going to get cooler.

Touche, Jupiter.

So I woke up to leave the Jupiter yesterday morning, turned on the shower…cold water. Waited a little bit. Still cold. Waited. COLD!

Maybe you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Cold shower, or not, I headed to the Columbia River Gorge at the base of Mt. Hood. I used to train there back in my formative days as a Junior Olympic Ski Racer during the summer months.

This time, I came in search of harnessing the power of the wind with my glider guru cousin, Dr. Jim Little, ten years my senior (though we are practically identicle twins).

Check it out.
