You know that guy that rushes onto the train before everyone has had a chance to get off? Or that woman that’s talking way too loudly on her phone about something you could really care less about? Well, instead of thinking of all the ways you could dismember them if you weren’t a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen, now you can be proactive and passive aggressive!
To be frank, I think this is just about the best idea ever. You can get your very own set of 25 cards from Orange32 here.
I’m sure by now all of you are familiar with the totally awesome mascots for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. I’ve been a fan of Meomi and all of their super, super adorable illustrations and animations for awhile, so it’s great to see them get this huge exposure. I’m probably a little biased here (1. because I love Meomi and 2. because I love Vancouver) but after doing a little bit of research on previous Olympics mascots, I think the 2010 Winter Games might just have the best bunch.
Which makes me think, well it must be incredibly hard to come up with a mascot for the Olympic games. I mean, we all remember all the flack that the London 2012 Summer games got for the logo that shan’t be named, but who’s really paying attention to the mascots beyond little kids?

(I can’t recommend his books/audio books/tv shows/movies highly enough. The man is a genius! And affable to boot!)
Well, it only took me…no, I’m not even going to admit to how long my site has sat in the corner, gathering dust and cobwebs. Let’s just say it’s been far too long. But things are a-changing! Heck, we’re coming up on the close of a decade in a few weeks, how crazy is that?
So here’s the scoop: this is a blogfolio. Which means I’m going to upload some stuff from the greatest hits collection (in other words, some portfolio work) but I’m also going to be sharing all the cool stuff I come across in my internet expeditions. Sort of like in kindergarten when you did Show and Tell.
Rock on!
