You may recall research I did for creating a business card for my custom tailoring business. I want to present to you my latest web-design research related to custom tailoring.

McCloud Keeps It Alive
Looking through a drawer the other day, I came across a printed cotton headband made by McCloud Zicmuse as a promotional item for his band Le Ton Mité. I often used to wear it at home while working.

Appropriate bargaining?
Thanks to my guru, Kathleen Fasanella, for leading me to this. Sorry if you’ve seen it before.
Is anyone else having this problem? I’m trying to program my VCR to tape Charles Kuralt on Sunday and I can’t seem to tune into to any channels. I think I need some new coax or something. Or some damn raccoon messed with my roof antenna. I heard the networks might be going out of [...]
