After reading that Keith Haring’s former collaborator altered the Haring memorial mural, I realized that there is a Keith Haring memorial mural, and that I should go take some photos. Apparently it’s only going to be there until around the end of 2008.

Dorkbot is one of my favorite things to go to. Nobody knows me there;
it’s all fun and no work when you’re on the audience side of the podium.
