I’ve been playing arround with Twitter today to create a background for my profile. You can see the result on my profile. You can download the PSD file here if you want to make your own design but need some help to get started. Below you see a snapshot of the image.

I upload most of my pictures to Flickr because it’s a great service to use. This way I have a have a backup of everything and am able to show the pictures to who is interested. I just checked the stats for my Flickr account and there is one picture really popular…. 29,844 views, 15 comments and 31 people count this picture as one of their favorites.
It’s probably because of the tag “ass” that this picture gets so many views. I like the discussion that is going on, in my opinion the tattoo (and picture) are not offensive at all. I’m not religous so I have a different point of view then some of the commenters. Some information: the girl who got this tattoo is part Indian so she understands what the symbol is about. The titel of the picture says “ass” but if you take a look at the picture you can see that the spot is better described as “lower back”. She never wanted to offend anyone and is not showing of her tattoo in public or something…. so my final advice for the commenters who want me to take the picture down; Relax! isn’t it just really cool that a hot girl is interested in your religion?
Now, on to the 30k views for this pic!

I got back from New York this morning… the city is amazing! I’m trying to stay awake now and not give in to the jetlag. Some of the pictures are online in my Flickr account.
