For 31 years, my dad has been marching down the longest Main Street in America on St. Patrick’s Day. Each year we pick up a few new faces and sometimes some old faces join us again, old bars close and new ones open, but there are a few things that always stay the same - crappy bars, lots of A&B…

WatchAsian girl hits her car with a Swiffer.
I watched this girl try, for at least 15 minutes, to get an inch of ice off her car with a Swiffer. Amazing.

Client: ”A hundred dollars?! For a hundred dollars, I would expect a hundred logos!”
Imagine that… you charge $100 for the logo design process and you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t value design. What a shock.
If you can’t properly value your work why in the hell would you expect someone else to?

Proofing
clientsfromhell:
I designed an invitation for a client who apparently felt that it was not their place to proofread. They sent me numerous emails explaining how unprofessional I was because I apparently don’t know how to spell (of course, the mistakes weren’t made by me).
“I’m sure it’s going to be much less correction when the spelling of a basic English words is wright”.

– Just found a really old blog entry I wrote like three years ago. I’m so glad I pulled the trigger when I did. I couldn’t be happier with my life.

Am I the only person that craves beet juice and arugula salad when they get off the plane? What is wrong with you America? hamburgers!? Chili dogs? Really?

Globalization Gold Rush
Are we experiencing some kind of new gold rush? The interconnectivity of our new world has empowered solo-preneurs and tiny teams in ways we never could have imagined. With fewer resources and less time, any motivated idea driver can build a small empire if they know how to take advantage of the cheap resources and opportunities. This is where India comes into the picture. Imagine a billion...
Your website sucks.
Yeah, the title of this post has all the subtlety of a brick to the dome. But that’s how tons of online applications approach their products! Sure, it works, but you’re missing out on tons of potential because it’s ugly. We’re dealing with a very sophisticated Internet consumer these days. And with the proliferation of Internet-based applications and services, there are...

Productivity in the trenches
I did an experiment in 2009—I named the year. In this case, 2009 was the Year of Progress. Guess what. I made more progress in 2009 than in any other year. What caused so much progress in 2009? I attribute much of the success to dedicating the entire year to progress in addition to naming the year. Furthermore, I made myself accountable to progress by telling all of my friends and family...
Let's be great today
I got this text message from one of my business partners this morning as I was laying in bed, not really feeling ready to start my day. Reading this message was like 200mg of caffeine straight to the brain. Like most people who work on the Internet all day, I’m very prone to distractions that rob me of my time and motivation. Reading this message made me realize the importance of having...
Graphic Design... it's not me. It's you.
I’ve decided that I’m finished being a graphic designer. I can’t take it anymore. Graphic design as a service can’t support my real aspirations anymore. And so, as with any failing relationship, I’m finished throwing good money after bad; I’m pulling out. Goodbye, graphic design… …or, wait, maybe not. Am I waffling here? Graphic design is a bit of...

These are awesome. I’d love to buy a stack of these prints for my office.
