Were those ads in the original video? Because I swear they weren't. I thought the idea was kind of cool until you opened my eyes to how ridiculous it could possibly get. Wowza.

Ron,

Nice to hear from you.
I have not seen Glaser but I am sure to watch. Art & Copy is another.

Here are 2 documentaries if you haven't seen would be good ones to support your book choice.

Helvetica(2007) NR

We use it every day on our computers, we see it on street signs -- and we take it for granted. Now, Gary Hustwit's unique documentary introduces us to Helvetica, a font whose readability has made it the most popular in the world. Interviews with designers and artists offer insight into the development, use and universal acceptance of Helvetica as the typeface of choice for everything from writing letters to creating corporate logos.
Genre: Social & Cultural Documentaries, Art & Design, Indie Documentaries

Milton Glaser: Inform & Delight(2009) NR

His name might not be very familiar, but the works of graphic artist Milton Glaser -- whose prolific output includes the "I Love NY" ad campaign, as well as album covers for Townes Van Zandt and Nina Simone -- are recognizable to many. Revisiting the famed paintings, drawings, logos, prints, posters and other works by Glaser, filmmaker Wendy Keys creates a rich and engaging mosaic of a key figure in American iconography.

The apparently eternal happiness of Florida is making me cranky. Thus continuing the cycle.

I'm back again...! Great job you there! How about developing a Wordpress plugin to perform this task? Have you thought of that yet? Please let me know if you already have and if you have one you'd like to share! thanks!!!

Re: Twitter, Google Trends, and RSS Feeds… Oh My!

Stop Dog Barking — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 07:32:53 -0000

wow...! exactly what I've been looking for. I've always thought being able to grab those articles that are trending will be a great way to keep website traffic up. However, no one's done it yet (or should I say I haven't seen one yet) until I read this. I'll go check out the link and see if it solves my problem completely.

thanks for sharing!!!

How did we ever get along without the Internet? There are so many things we take for granted now that used to be almost impossible to do without the Web.

Dear "Bob," thank you for your comment. We take comments like your's seriously. My post simply exhibited levity in the context of the payment service I was writing about and was not a reflection of any business process or policy held by the agency.

You're laying people off and you run your cappuccinos through the business? That's a great way to foster employee loyalty. That about says it all if someone would ever consider working there.

Sounds like a great plan. Looking at your comment Sign in, I think we are much closer already with Facebook Connect, Twitter Login, Etc... But I like this new browser concept.

While this has been a long time coming, I hesitate to get too cheerful. For example, look at Jakob Nielsen's Useit.com post from September, 1999 entitled "User-Supportive Internet Architecture" (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/....

It truly is ridiculous that Web users are railed on by IT professionals to use secure passwords, distinct on each site. When someone forgets login information, they are told to keep it written down somewhere. When someone gets their login information stolen because they kept it written down, they are told to memorize it.

Bah. Good for Mozilla for doing this. I imagine the Chrome OS next year will take another good step in the right direction as well. Hopefully by 2020 we'll have something solid in the works.

I am actually dreading the day that this stuff becomes mainstream. Pretty soon we will all be so wrapped up in augmented reality we won't have any idea what real reality is.

There are still plenty of floral or cutesy animal patterns which are easy to find out there, but xstitch patterns have branched out. Say you're more into gamer style patterns Spritestitch.com has things there....or if you're looking for something more risque try image googling "erotic embrodery". Or on a slow day just type in some random word paired up with cross stitch and you're sure to find something.

OK, I have to say that actually finding out who designed this pattern is pretty great. I was not expecting that. Thanks for sharing. Any other patterns that you would recommend?

FYI:
The designer (not necessarily the stitcher of this particular image) of this deer is Peggy Riedell, and the piece is printed in Country Sportsman 2 (Book 25 from Country Cross Stitch).

In case you were interested. ;) I've stitched this one myself even.
