Quick, go look through my old school Boston skateboarding flickr set.

Then, ask yourself how much I enjoyed Disposable: A History of Skateboard Art.

After watching this, I'm not sure if we've won or lost.

I mean, by most measures the careers of just Banksy and Shepard Fairey alone are enough to signal that street art has "made it," so at some level we've definitely won. Anyone who was searching for legitimacy from the art world has found it. The question then becomes, what do we lose to gain legitimacy? That's what I walked away wrestling with after seeing Exit Through the Gift Shop.

Someone sent these along to me and I had to share.

I'm actually a Microsoft shareholder, so I'm definitely not out to "get" Microsoft, but that's pretty freakin' similar if you ask me. In fact, f you drop them into Photoshop and adjust the heights to match, they're identical.

Done! I'm done! The damn thing is launched! I was up until all hours of the night on Sunday tweaking the site, so last night I had some sparkling Shiraz to celebrate (you should try it) and went to bed, reading The Arabs: A History, a book I might be able to finish now that I'm not up every night working on DrunkenFist.com.

I will be writing up some of the technical details over at HTML+CSS+JavaScript. Here? I'll be writing again, period. I've got about fifteen draft posts that I owe you. Fun times.
