In celebration of National Coming Out Day, I am giving away Rainbow Wee buttons. They are 1" in diameter and illustrated by yours truly.

It's 2011 and I'm embarrassed to say that this web site still has a table layout.

If you don't believe me, you can see it for yourself... but act fast because it's going to be replaced with something a little more modern soon™.

For your amusement while I whip up a snazzy new design for this web site, here is a collection of web sites that I have designed in the past. Click on the screenshot below for hilarity to ensue:

I did Bay to Breakers again this year, and unlike last year, I actually finished (in 2:46... that's an average of 22 minutes and 16 seconds per mile.) I placed an abysmal 2569 out of 2851 people in my age group. Even so, I still feel like a champ because I didn't get sunburned at all!

I walked more than half of the way, taking in the scenery and then sped up so I could cross the finish line for real before they diverted the course.

Tim and John came up with our group costume idea: Swine Flu Zombies. I was a butcher/chef who contracted the flu from slaughtering pigs for fresh bacon. The virus I caught mutated and I turned into a zombie. I made the hat the day before the race after flip-flopping on my zombie infection story. I briefly thought about being a zombie hula girl who got pig flu from a roast pig at a luau. I thought people wouldn't really get it unless I told them the story, and zombies don't really talk much, so I went with a simpler yet more over the top costume concept.

Mike was a zombie DJ.
John was a zombie yuppie.
Chrystie was a zombie sorority girl.
Tim was a zombie professional fighter.
Dana was cursed by a Rabbi for being unkosher.

Now that I've done Bay to Breakers for real, I want to do the salmon run next year.

Oh yeah, and now that I have a zombie costume, I can also join the next zombie walk.

My company is participating in the March of Dimes: March for Babies this year. In order to encourage people to sponsor me in this event, I'm offering a one-of-a-kind painting to my largest sponsors in each of the sponsorship levels below on April 25th.

The painting will be of a pair of breasts in any colour (or natural) of the sponsor's choice. A reference image of the sponsor's ideal chest (male or female, nude or not) may be furnished to me. Multiple small donations from the same person may be summed up. In the event of a tie, a draw will be held to select the winner.

More generous donors have the option of choosing a painting that is smaller than the maximum size that I will paint for that sponsorship level. In the event that the gift is refused by the donor, a painting will still be painted, but it will be sold on ebay to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

I've always wanted to climb the CN Tower. Luckily, this year's CN Tower climb coincides with my visit to Toronto.

Please sponsor me or better yet, join my team of climbers!
