It's a three-color image of a Ray-O-Vac battery (if you couldn't guess). I've developed a cool technique for converting a photo of a print block into something resembling what it would look like if actually run off on a press. To do the pic above, I had to take pictures of all three color blocks, adjust for size and perspective, then change them to the proper color and overlay them. Looks cool, eh?

It's been through many incarnations, from very work-related, into uselessness, into a front-end for my other online workings, to being a redirect to
Now, it's come all the way 'round to business related again. Hope it helps; I figured I better have something there, since I'm giving out business cards with the URL on it. As for this being the 'final version' of blacksunn.net, I highly doubt it.

At around 4:30, clouds rolled in and it started to spittle a little rain in the dirty wind. Our carousing done, we headed back home in the midst of rush-hour traffic.
Everyone missed the chance to be outside in the nice weather. God is punishing the 9-to-5 workers. I, however, got to stand in the sun for a while.

More striking is the absence of any time reference. Sleep until 10, go to WalMart at three in the afternoon, work until after midnight, and the only indication of weekend is that the kids are around the house all day. You full-time workers don't realize how much your job provides a frame of reference: Arrive at 8, coffee at 9:30, lunch at 12, coffee at 3, home at 4:30. That's a reference point every two or three hours. Without those, how would you know where you're at in the day? Me and D are planning on getting a clock that chimes every hour. If we hang it in the office, hopefully it will provide some much needed grounding in the flow of time.
