To recreate the tape using Inkscape or another tool, make a box that is 49px W with a color of #ececec RGB (236,236,236) set to 64% opacity. Mine is 36 px high, but you can rotate it or make the tape as long as you want. If you want to get fancy, you can scallop the top and bottom edges to make them look torn, but it's a detail that no one can see without a zooming way in. @Pablo: Meh.

Doesn't stick though, the tape's missing. Any spare tape pieces you wish to share? BTW, great blog! Very good writing! I think I'd buy your book. (This from a foreigner...) Hey, cool, thanks!

You look like one of Jerry's kids. Minus the gray hair of course. Damn you are getting old. A little bit long in the tooth so to speak. I hope that isn’t your favorite picture.
