You gotta slow down, you’re making the rest of the blog-o-sphere (or at least me) look real bad. WOW MAN! So seriously, when can I except an “art of” book?! (No, seriously, I want one). Oh, and dunno if you had the RSS enabled before, but I’m subscribed now, so if I can’t keep up, at least I can watch from the sidelines :)
