New Twitter. New GMail. New Google+ and Analytics and… Holy he’ll. I mean, really. These are not new designs. These are old designs, very flat. Very retro. Very Internet 1.0.

In other news (now that that’s out of my system)…
I went to yet another fine holiday party last night. Sadly, I was the only female with the exception of our waitress. (Who was easily embarrassed, by the way.) There was Guiness. There was Spotted Cow. There were stories and escapades and heated discussions.
Joined by Matt Forbeck, Kenneth Hite, Lester Smith, Steven Sullivan, Bill Bodden, Will Hindmarch, Matt McElroy, and Don Perrin. All very talented and fine folks. One of these days, we may actually get a game in, too.
Ah, well. I really can’t complain. It’s been a fun year and I have a *few* more holiday parties to attend. I’ll be working like mad this weekend but, like anything else I do, I love what I’m working on to pieces. Communication was very strange this week, but that happens sometimes. Live. Laugh. Love. Maybe even all at the same time!
