  • roundy, 3d, swoosh and twirl

    The future is bad Just documenting change here (careful not to say progress). Of all these refreshments, I suppose I have to find some nice thing to say… and that will be: Sprint’s newest identity is the least offensive of the bunch. The rest look like something from a logo generator. I still haven’t gotten…

  • Photoshop 10 and Lt. Uhura

    Tired of windows on my mac  If someone asks me what I do for a living, I say "I make buttons." This whittles the job down to a tangible (almost concrete) notion. A bigger explanation includes what those buttons say, what they do, the order in which they do it, and a myriad of other…

  • Bad Apple

    Since I’m on the subject of mice I’ve been using an Apple Mighty Mouse for a bit now, wondering when is enough time to torture myself before passing judgement. That moment is now. It displeases me. (And if you know me, I use that phrase often, but usually in the form, “it does not displease…

  • Accepting change

    The evolution of Fast Food logos I bitched about the new White Castle logo a couple years ago. Today I was driving home, saw an old Taco Bell sign and was transported back to a happier time—when evolution wasn’t so far out there. How I miss the crisp gridded balance of yore. The warm tones…

  • Helveticaspotting

    Wonder if Oddfellows Local 151 is behind there… I always get a big smile driving by this firehouse.

  • EXP

    Stuff I shouldn’t have in my portfolio I worked at the dorms and then Kinkos while doin the full-time student gig back at Ohio State. It was taxing. Right after graduation, a freelance gig fell into place working for EXPRESS. I slaved alongside a few classmates and we were given old french bits of design…

  • Print

    An advert no less Right after college I dove right into interface work, skipping the world of print design. In fact, my senior project was a CD-ROM horribly pieced together in “multimedia” application. Man I’m glad that word is pretty much dead. I like the fluid nature of pixels on screen. I enjoyed that I…

  • Toyota FJ Cruiser

    The hip kids might bypass Scion for this In just a couple days, Toyota will be unveiling the FJ Cruiser officially. I hope this means they will introduce a final production model, release date and pricing. Aside from the electric blue and associations I may have with Icehouse, I really dig this vehicle. This thing…

  • Spicing up the skies

    Richard Tyler designs new Delta uniforms Funny how I lamented the lack of spunk in flight attendant fashion. I spoke too soon. Me? I’m a fashion-impaired dork with denim, corduroy and flannel rounding out my personal collection, but surfing around I stumbled upon the Olympus Fashion Week Show/Thing. There’s hope for 2005 yet. I need…

  • Gawking

    I spared Wonkette from my bitchfest, as that site is branded nicely Another month and another couple properties from the weblog empire that is Gawker Media are released to the world. One about travel and the other about software or something. I’m not sure. And at this point, I don’t know if I care. Aside…
