An ultimatum for myself to get my book done

I can't bring myself to finish revising my book. It's 95% done, but
the remaining 5% is expanding infinitely. I can't stop making changes
to everything. When I'm not doing that, I'm procrastinating on social
networks.

I've decided to give myself a video ultimatum to force myself to
finish by October 8:

October 8 is the day that my JetBlue all-you-can-jet pass expires.
Being on planes a lot has helped a lot, since I tend to pull out my
book instead of my laptop on flights. So I'm making that day my
deadline.

All the graphic art for img.gr, done at #swsf09

I was at Startup Weekend for the past couple of days, a 48-hour
hackathon held at Microsoft's San Francisco office. It was tons of
fun.

My 7-person team created a twitter app called img.gr. It's
photo-tagging for Twitter. You can draw boxes around people like in
Facebook, and you tag them with @(name), and then the photo posting
gets tweeted.

The site isn't up & running yet (sorry!), but the demo worked great
and we should have it up as soon as we get our domain name purchase
troubles worked out.

I was the graphic artist! Check out what I drew. I also made some
logos & icons for other teams, which I'll post soon.
