Thanks to a tip from starfyrone, we found a program for business cards for The Exchange and just printed them out on our rickety li'l inkjet rather than spending a bunch getting them done professionally.

I was going to post what follows as a reply to that, but decided against as I was doing an awful lot of pontificating, and doing that in someone else's journal is vaguely rude ( Read more... )

Decided to walk from my office to Union Station yesterday; it was not beastly hot as it's been for the last few, and I probably needed the exercise.
