Isn’t She Pretty?

All right, Cutline is fully set up and I think that the appearance-tweaking is more or less through for now, aside from a couple little things I’d like to add (like a good ‘Digg this’ button on the individual post pages, for example)—but I’m certainly open to suggestions! Is the color scheme too damn red? Is something not working right in your browser? Let me know.

Other than that, back to the stories. I was a little sick last weekend and decided to hole up at my parents place; while there, I waded through part of the backlog of ‘work’ submissions. They’re awesome! So I can confidently say that there’s a lot of scintillating stuff on the way, from an engineering professor who dreams he’s a clown, to a guy who wears a spacesuit and builds computer circuits at night, to a cop’s first brush with nudity on the job. Enjoy.
