Seemingly the only man both willing and able to speak out about the absurdities in our political system.

As part of the May 1 Reboot and CSS Reboot initiatives by the web design community, RyanCannon.com features a spiffy new coat of paint. I hope it doesn't seem as much of a last-minute effort as it actually was—our hero had a tiny case of design block for the larger part of the week.

Strapped to a wheelchair is a frankensystem complete with mixer and projector spouting cockeyed lyrics onto a screen. And that was just the warm-up band.
