These days Charles Vess is as busy as a dog with a yard full of bones. One way to keep up with him is to check his blog at Green Man Press . Beautiful illustrations, cool links, and the latest on Charles' exhibits, books and (yes) movie projects.

Howard Scultz, CEO of Starbucks recently joind fellow Seattleite Bill Gates in the exclusive billionaires society. Now that Starbucks has drive-in windows they are just like McDonald's (with, we admit, better coffee). We don't begrudge Howard his well-deserved success but remember the "indie spirit" that made the chain such a success. We have two excellent inependent coffeeshops in our area. Please support them. And if you are looking for indie's elsewhere use: indiecoffeeshops.com
