    Matthew from The Chopping Block started a site called www.displaceddesigner.com. It’s for folks who may have lost their job/office/equipment/desk because of the recent disaster in the Gulf. I think it’s a really great idea. I wish our fellow AIGA had thought about it but in the end it seems it’s more and more about the…

    Toby and I just got back from dropping off four large boxes filled with bedding, clothing, shoes, and other necessities at a Brooklyn UPS distribution center. After calling a list of places found via the Red Cross as well as our local Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity in search of small ways to lend…

    Not sure what came over me the past several days but I am feeling so much better today. I think I needed sleep and pizza and to remember how absolutely wonderful so many people are. I plan on buying some of Sherri’s baked goods for sure. That being said, adopting the spirit of many other…

    I know it’s silly but I really wish hurricanes weren’t named after people.

    That’s what the statue of bigotry says. —Lou Reed. Spending a week in the country and returning to this can do a number with one’s existence. Prior my knowledge of the hurricane, I mentioned that I need to redirect my life. I’m not sure what day it was because after a day or two without…

    I seriously feel like I woke up from a dream and into a total nightmare. Not having Internet access, a television or much cell service while in Rhode Island has pushed me so far out of the loop I can’t even begin to explain… We had NO idea this was happening while we were away.…

    We’re on vacation until Saturday, September 3rd. I’m gong to turn off comments until we return because one never knows what might happen. If you have time, visit Self-Portrait Day. We’ll update it as soon as we get back but there are some wonderful people to meet over there. We’ll be back with pictures and…

    While I understand the need for phones during an emergency while on the subway, the idea of allowing for cell phone use in the MTA has annoying written all over it. Does this mean those flippin’ highly irritating Nextel phones will work, too? This is just what we need, more totally pointless seemingly one-person conversations…

    Does it annoy you that this site features the latest posts at the bottom? I am only now realizing that every other site out there features the latest posts at the top. The reason I have it laid out in an opposite manner is because back in the day was meant to represent my day…

    Yesterday, on my way to meet Toby Joe, I saw this car near CBGBs. It gave me a chuckle. So I took a picture. Hopefully, it will give you a chuckle, too. I spent the next 10 minutes trying to decide what type of person drove the Lexus. I concluded that they’d probably be someone…
