The new and crazily improved Pony in a Rope is here! Poke it with a stick and see what happens!

Yesterday one of my latest works was featured on mrxstitch.com, one of my newest blog finds. A running joke around my house is that my web developer S.O. is a l33t hax0r, and this piece is his "proof". The border says l33t hax0r and has his initials all in binary.

I thought 2000 had too many boring albums. Too much middle of the road, non-offensive music for my taste, but I think that's all the UK was producing the first few years of the decade. Hopefully 2001 will be better. This is what I'll be listening to.
