Info-graphic Mondays.
Hey! If you love information, especially when it is organized into very attractive graphical displays, I suggest you head over to Feltron and check out his annual report. It’s info you NEED to know! I put down my 5 bucks (8 with shipping) to get a hard-copy for my file. I have last years on file too. Its a beautiful hand-bound document. Trust me its worth it, especially for when you get audited and they want to know where your Feltron Anuual report is filed. You will sound pretty silly explaining to the auditors that you left it out on the INTERNET, won’t you?
ps. I love mondays!
Hm. Had never given much thought, until now that is, to the similarities between working as an architect, and the Doozers from Fraggle Rock. Interesting quote here from the wikipedia page on Fraggle Rock.
“Within Fraggle Rock lives a second species of small humanoid creatures, the pudgy green ant-like Doozers. Standing only 6 inches tall (knee high to a fraggle), Doozers are in a sense anti-Fraggles; their lives are dedicated to work and industry. Doozers spend much of their time busily constructing all manner of scaffolding throughout Fraggle Rock using miniature construction equipment and wearing hardhats and work boots. No one but the Doozers themselves seem to understand the actual purpose of their intricate and beautiful constructions. Often their building is accompanied by marching songs and various doozer chants. To ensure that they always have a steady stream of work to do, Doozers build their constructions out of an edible candy-like substance (manufactured from radishes) which is greatly enjoyed by Fraggles. They actually want the Fraggles to eat their constructions because “architecture’s supposed to be enjoyed” and also so they can go on to build again. This is essentially the only interaction between Doozers and Fraggles; Doozers spend most of their time building, and Fraggles spend much of their time eating Doozer buildings, which they think taste like marshmallows. They thus form an odd sort of symbiosis.”
*Am I allowed to quote that much without getting in trouble for online word piracy or something?
**ps. Awesome.
I am sure you have heard of the annual Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, which I hear has to do with some sporting event or other.. but have you heard of the much more interesting Dooo Dah Parade? I think it has to do with being some kind of excuse to have a silly parade through town once in a while. The 31st Occasional Dooo Dah Parade is SUnday Jan. 20th. I’ll see you there.
USA ranks even with Russia (that is, at the bottom of the barrel) in terms of protecting its citizens privacy. Way to go! You know who you are… as you are likely reading this.

Hey everyone out there who wears shirts. I made this little wintertime T-shirt design and posted it over on threadless. If you want one, head over there and vote on it. I think you have to sign in to do that.. but its free and totally worth it and I will love you forever.
I made up a joke yesterday.
What has an IQ of 100 and weighs 120 pounds?
Nicole Ritchie giving Paris Hilton a piggyback!
(ah sorry everyone, it was funny at the time)
Thinking of modding my GTI for the coming apocalypse.
Yesterday I saw these two great vanity license plates:
on a white van – VNA WHTE
on a white 90s Cadillac – WHT WHALE
Thar she blows!
Just got back from a post-thanksgiving camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park. It was hovering around freezing out there the first night with a crazy wind that didn’t want us to sleep. We camped underneath a rock that looked like a face chopped off and turned sideways.
Also, I became a Jedi.
