A while back I posted a (sincere) offer for some shrimp ramen to anyone in the PKI building on craigslist. No one wanted them and I forgot about it. However, today I got this lovely email…

I’m taking a GUI design class right now and for slightly odd reasons he is having us do mini-projects in Photoshop and Flash. For the last bit of the Photoshop one we were supposed to cut Lance Armstrong out of a picture and put him in any background we wanted. I choose the gates to Mordor and I’m quite proud of the results.

Click through for the full size, it’s worth it I think.

From the GNU Automake Documentation:

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a developer in possession of a new package, must be in want of a build system.”

Awesome.
