MovableType

This web log software I’m using, MovableType appears to be extremely functional and customizable.

I scanned it, and added a logo from the project I was working on at the time, and made it the unofficial logo of the bug fixers on that project. One of these days I’m going to get some of that iron-on transfer stuff and make it into a t-shirt.
