How to survive a Zombie Uprising

The beauty of sharing

I posted a bunch of photos to DeviantArt as free stock photography back in 2001-2002. I’ve since mostly forgotten about them but occasionally someone uses one of them and it just makes me smile.

Happy Tax Day

Tax Day, New York City Originally uploaded by Amit Gupta. Taxes are due by Midnight tonight – which means that the annual scramble to get them done and postmarked begins around, oh, I don’t know, 10pm?

So close!

So close! Originally uploaded by Glitch010101. I literally just yelled out “son of a poop!” in my office. I got so excited about Tara mentioning Felt Up that I missed 123456. After all that hype!
