new card
Every several years I design a new business card; this way, even if the one I have doesn't seem out of date to me, it's always fresh. Recently, I've given my card to several people who have commented that the picture on it looked young and it must be a pretty old picture.
Wow! Have I really aged that much in the past 5 years? Maybe so: if that many people are willing to cross the formidable bridge of courtesy to say that, then how many people think it but aren't saying it? My old card had a picture of me taken about 5 years ago — wait, I was married 6 years ago. 6 and a half. And the picture was taken at — wait, it was taken at my old place before Sahara, which means it must be at least 10 years old.
Ah.
Anyway, time for a new card with a new picture, something that's a bit more up to date. I shot a version of it to Paul Soupiset to see if his magical eye found anything to fix; he said, "Don't change a thing." When Soupiset tells you not to change a thing, don't change a thing.
So, now I'm handing out a brand new business card.
