    Would you mind if I used your Cana­dian Flag (http://changelog.umgeher.mitgnu.com/stuff/wallpapers/canadian-flag/) for a weblog? I’m just in the process of putting the site together. It’s rachellake.ca

    Also, do you think you could make a com­pli­men­tary flay for Japan?

    Thanks,

    Ray
