Ink Is Hot.

No, I'm not dead. Just busy. Baby, 2yo twins, no sleep, etc., etc.

With all the talk about how tablets suck (for uncreative people who measure productivity by words-per-minute of text entry in office memos, emails, and twitter updates that no one will ever read), I thought it would be fun to do a little ink blog that shows how "Ink is Hot!"

The transcription follows. Note how the pure text conveys a different message. And a rather bland one at that.

Seattle went through an insufferable heat wave last week which inspired a bit of Tablet PC art for me. I was waiting for the bedroom to be not-quite-so-darned hot:

IT IS TOO DARNED HOT

I made the foolish error of leaving the Volvo frog, the official mascot of my vehicle, on the dash with all the windows rolled up while I ran an errand. He was not happy.  But he survived the ordeal.

We don't see 108° too often in Seattle.

oh yeah. And it was 5 degrees hotter the next day.
