spent a mildly obsessive evening playing with parasols and video editing software the other day.
turns out that it's pretty fun, and i could dissappear for long periods of time doing so.

which in turn suggests that i won't be doing that many for a while,
as long periods of time are in short supply now.

i will continue to spend time on figuring out how to get this material distributed effectively,
as that appears to be one of the key skills of our day and age.

so:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="www.youtube.com/v/gdLmCP5U...m><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="www.youtube.com/v/gdLmCP5U...&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

and if that doesn't work, the regular http to
www.youtube.com/watch

the parasols and umbrellas are part of a new series of hand painted portable shade devices from parastra intergalactic.
soon they will be available for sale via www.crystalcradle.ca

i'm pretty excited.
