Recently, I vis­ited an old friend:

He’s been a lit­tle under the weather recently and is a lit­tle worse for wear, but hang­ing in there…

Seri­ously though, I’ve been fond this sink and his funny lit­tle face since I was a kid and was tick­led to see him again after a long parting.

Mis­ery is such a hope­less romantic…IMG 1321sml Hopeless

I guess we’re all hope­less roman­tics at heart… Happy (early) Valen­tines Day, folks.

This is why I don’t do shots…

I met one of my new-ish neigh­bors a few weeks ago… He’s very nice, but rather secre­tive… and told me later that he’s in the wit­ness pro­tec­tion program…

There’s a mon­ster in the studio!

Dur­ing my trav­els, I come across some pretty strange objects, arti­facts, sto­ries and people.

Here’s a gem from my lat­est trip:IMG 0733sml Oddities from the Road

Veal baby food?! For real? For real. AWESOME.

Lately, I’ve found myself attend­ing a lot of net­work­ing events and meet­ings; not sur­pris­ingly, one of the results is many con­ver­sa­tions about the design ser­vices I offer…

Per­haps though, I should con­sider an ad like the fol­low­ing:

Great stuff, right? Espe­cially that smash­ing logo at the end…

Today I was fea­tured on the Inter­net Sends Me Cake! Check it out!

If you want some of your own tasty baked goods to enjoy from my kitchen to yours, a few of my more pop­u­lar items are listed on Etsy.

Spe­cial thanks the Jes­sica His­che for her orig­i­nal idea behind the Inter­net Sends Me Cake Web site and for plug­ging my work/site as a result. I’m so delighted she and the Stu­dio 612a crew enjoyed their goodies.

Back by pop­u­lar demand, another install­ment of tips for life. Enjoy!

The end of print pub­lish­ing? Or?? Watch and see:

Unless you live under a rock or more likely, are one of my read­ers from abroad you might not know that this week­end brought Bal­ti­more an his­toric blizzard.

So this after­noon once the snow had stopped, I helped my fam­ily dig out. My mum was kind enough to sup­ply the fol­low­ing video of my father and I shov­el­ing their mas­sive drive:

Ok, so my sense of humor is espe­cially punchy today– we’re all a lit­tle batty from the miles of sparkling white everywhere…

You know, women work­ers can be sur­pris­ingly good pro­duc­ers.…

And remem­ber, this all boils down to four things:

  • 1) Don’t mix plea­sure with business
  • 2) Women can be awfully jeal­ous of one another
  • 3) Avoid undue familiarity
  • 4) Women are more sen­si­tive than men

This gives me flash­backs to Oakland…

A mod­ern ver­sion of the last film, nar­rated by Stephen Col­bert:

Remem­ber: Girls who park in cars, are not REALLY pop­u­lar…
and home, par­ents and per­son­al­ity ALL help boys and girls to be pop­u­lar… really…

I drink a lot of tea and cof­fee, thus mugs are one of the items that tend to join me in my fre­quent trav­els; but I wasn’t always a mug user.

Thanks to this handy instruc­tional video, though I was able to mas­ter the del­i­cate art of mug use and ownership:
