    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…

    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 have to be honest. I have remained quiet for too long. It’s time to fess up. The truth of the matter is, I think I despise Craigslist. I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in America who feels this way but I just don’t like it. I don’t find the “Best Of” all that…

    I got off the L Train at Bedford Avenue in hopes of sneaking a little Tasti D-lite softserve before meeting up with Toby Joe. There were grumpy people everywhere due to New York’s newfound wave with heat and humidity. And all I could think about was ice cream. Earlier, I had put half of what…

    Well, the files went to print. I ordered half large, half medium white tees and half medium half large women’s tanks. The printer is superb. She’s been wonderful. I look forward to working with her on my next t-shirt which will feature an ugly, red-headed, buck-toothed blogger who can’t afford a new retainer to replace…

    As some of you may have noticed, I changed my site design (again). And I’m looking for a little feedback. Toby Joe and I recreated the site on a whim last Saturday and we don’t have a Windows box at home to test things on. That being said, will any Windows users out there step…

    In an attempt to get folks more outgoing traffic FROM SPD, we went ahead and made it daily this past week. What we’re finding that’s happening is that people are visiting US but not clicking out. So it’s really not living up to its mission statement. I guess we probably should have thought more about…

    Is ANYONE out there willing to take on some freelance work over the weekend? It’s an InDesign project. They pay well and I had to break up with them because of the fulltime job and all. Plus, Nico is coming to town. Please email me if you’re interested. (I suppose it could be done in…

    Nike Sucks. You don’t need a degree in graphic design to notice the similarities here. They’re the fucking same. Oh, wait—one is blue, not red. And Major, not Minor. And there are some Nike logos tossed in there. This brings to mind an interview with Vanilla Ice, defending the differences between “Ice Ice Baby” and…

    Before I begin, I need to say that I have liked many of my jobs. I have enjoyed the people I have worked with and sometimes even liked a boss or two, in that “I respect you” sort of way. But that never stopped me from thinking, “Man, why are we always being told to…
