Neon Signs
I got through step three of the Neon Sign Configurator before I came to my senses. “What on Earth am I going to do with a neon sign?!” I had a Beta Brite at one point, and it was a lot of fun (for five minutes). A neon sign does nothing but sit there and light up. What's so exciting about that? Yeah, it's neon - like the glowing charm bracelets that come out of hibernation at night in every amusement park the world over. Besides, I wouldn't really know what I'd want to put on a neon sign? Given that the owner of our rental home doesn't want to pay for (or have us self-install) curtains for our front-facing windows, I'm considering making one that says “The Latthanapon Indharasophang Reality Show.” Can they make neon signs THAT long? Will the neighbors appreciate the obscene glow when I fire it up at 2AM? I could throw 'em a curve ball and go Newon instead of neon. Oh, here's an idea: what if I have it say something like “The World's Most Garish and Overpriced Bug Zapper?” That'd be a semi-functional neon sign.

For the lack of curtians: Spray that snow in a can stuff on the window and leave it year round, OR, better yet, walk around naked with a black piece of cardboard covering the private parts, try to look like you're being censored. That'll show em! I have nothing to say for the neon… but I DID LMAO at the Pirillo Claus cursor. Thanks!

Dear Chris,
Enough with the cursor! Talk about the gift that keeps on annoying. Cute and all … but once is enough.
I'm not a “bah humbug” just a vision impaired reader.
Thank you for this great blog!

i know this doesn't have to do with the neon signness of your neon sign, but i really like the animated chris santa head cursor, could i get a cursor set for my laptop? that would be amazingly cool.
