Back home after partying at Vessel and driving around SF.
Twitter RSS and ATOM feeds are still unpredictable when importing to Tumblr. @brainscientist What are you and Gaia up to in Vegas?
RealitySlip logo
I cleaned up the RealitySlip mark and type as there were some things about it that had been bothering me since the first design of 7 years ago. Without further ado, I present the refreshed RealitySlip logo:
