The Last Supper in Detail

The Last Supper is totally thrashed--you can zoom in so it's like you're standing only inches from the canvas, and it's surprising how much paint is missing or flaking off the closer you zoom.

In more exciting news, my family got a new DUAL-FLUSH toilet this weekend! (Like the kind we had in New Zealand.) Hopefully it will help us save lots of water.

I've determined that 26 gigs, or 67%, of my 38 gig music collection is completely legal. If mix CDs are considered legal, add another gig. I challenge most people my age to do better. I have a list of 31 CDs (for which I already have mp3s) that I intend to buy as soon as I have a source of income, which amazingly only accounts for another 1.6 gigs and will bring me up to about 75% legal. I wonder how much of that I actually listen to, and how much I can delete?

Based on mix cds and sample mp3s from music blogs etc, I've bought 54 CDs that I would not have otherwise bought. I have only bought 3 CDs without having heard any music by the artist(s). This is my anecdotal argument that mix CDs may actually, to a degree, benefit record companies.

Cool artists I just found:
