I ran out of coffee this morning, so my commute to work sucked hard. Ergo, YOU GET NO FTILFF INTRO.
- Beaker from the Muppets singing “Yellow” by Coldplay - A smartly edited video of the famous meep-ing puppet playing the role of Chris Martin. I’m not sure who the hell thinks this stuff up, but anything w/ Muppets makes my week.
- Homemade vanilla ice cream - Um, yea, so that crap that I’ve had almost every time I’ve eaten ice cream in the past 26 years? Rubbish. You don’t know the meaning of Premium Ice Cream until you’ve made your own. And even though the first machine we got was a dud, the replacement one has more than made up for it by kicking out a velvety, creamy gut-inducing dessert. On to the gelato!
- Coolest Workplace Contest - Some dudes dig porn. Others enjoy violent movies. Me? I swoon over pictures of nicely designed and/or decked-out home offices. My dream is to someday work in a converted warehouse/loft space, brick walls and all. It must be the whole “isolated in the studio” mentality from my days in the printmaking shop, it’s like a second home. Now I just need to do something with the office room upstairs in our house…
- This photo paired with this headline - Chris always does a great job of taking photos of his everyday life. This one in particular I can’t help but burst out laughing at, when paired with that title. Me too, little guy, me too.
- These overly-creative business cards - Though I find relatively no use for business cards, I still can’t help but appreciate the creativity (and money!) that went into some of these designs. Personal branding is some of the hardest to do, but you can also do some pretty wild things when you’re your own client.
This is where I would normally wrap up whatever stupid point I was setting up in the intro. But since I have no coffee YOU GET NO OUTRO.
And yes, I know ‘outro’ isn’t a word. Unless you’re a Faithless fan.
