This site is worth checking out, it's an amazing visual collection of snapshots taken by US military workers in Iraq… It really gives you a glimpse into what it's like for an ordinary kid from America to live through one of these wars in a way that journalist-based media just can't do.
Please do pass this URL on (
UnderMars.com), and image submissions can be mailed to
undermars@gmail.com. I want to be clear as well this is not a pro-war or anti-war or pro-Bush or anti-Bush site; it's just an attempt to help people express what's going on in their lives and communicate it to others. The more we know about each others lives, the better this world will be.
Giant thanks to Ron who kick started this project by helping gather the initial images from his friends that captured them in the first place, and to them of course the biggest thanks go.

I drew this, but the design credit goes wholly to rwethereyet… It's one of those shirts that you'll either just not really notice, or you'll guffaw heartily as if it's 1892. Feedback goes here if you want one, and now I'm done with shirts for a little while!

Jon asked me to dig up the clip for another project, but I thought that the folks who were there might like to see it as well, so I tossed together some of the MFC SusCon footage we shot and then Cambridge later that day. The music is a Marty Grosz recording from about 1920 called “Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones” (more).
It's a 640×480 clip that's about a minute and a half long. You can download it (about ten meg) as either
QuickTime or
Windows Media. I warn you though it may only be interesting to the people who were there!

Seriously, what's wrong with me? Well, I suppose if I wasn't so narcissistic and self-obsessed I likely wouldn't have the drive to improve myself so maybe that's not a bad thing. I know that practically every person reading this has the same quirk, so either way I'm not too riddled with guilt about it. But for the BME 10th anniversary mini-party next week, I was thinking about printing some of these… It's my party and I'll ??? if I want to… Is that bad? Oh, and the quote (minus the typo below — the extra “the” at the start of line two) is on the back…

The master separation files for these have been send off to Ryan. However, if you want them printed, you'll have to let him know which one(s) you want and in what configuration — do that over in the BMEshop forum if you're an IAM member. Here are the options of the day:
