I just stumbled across your blog while messing around with del.icio.us, and wanted to say hi. I was curious how these posts with dates work - I guess the idea is to comment on something one relates to? It just hit me looking at the name Rembrandt that there was an etching of his I rather liked, and I thought I might share a pic of it I found online.
