Can a monkey save the day?

(How great is this line from U2's Beautiful Day?
I might have sung it fifty billion times as I hid my eyes from things that I didn't need at Target.)

I have happy, happy news Picnik lovers!!!

I got the GREATEST comment on this Picnik-related post.
The greatest.

A handful of ex-Picnik employees have banded together and are working on a new photo editing site called PicMonkey.

Ya.  Hello.
I have a feeling that it will be even better.
But most of all I am hoping for less useless Halloween fonts.

I cannot stinking wait.

    I heard choirs of angels singing in heaven when I just read this! Hopefully, they will come through on that promise. That would be so awesome. And it would be a nice kick in the butt to those stupid google+ bullies that think they rule the world. (happy dance!)

    LOVE that you posted this! Thank you, thank you!!

    Also wondered if I could "steal" a print that you made awhile back. I forget what it says right now and I'm too lazy to go back and look, but it's something about comparing yourself to others... or them having it all together... something like that. Heather posted it just the other day. Would you mind if I posted it, too? (with a link to you, of course!) :)
