One legged puppies . . . and John?
I thought we could all use something funny . . . and this is in a dorky way. Plus, it reminds me of John's uncanny ability to make anybody cry.

How much worse can this week get?
Alternate Boston Workshop Feb 29th
For those of you who may have had a bad project, that just need some help and support. Thesis presentations are coming, you could learn coping techniques early on?

Traditional Chinese Papercutting
My previous creative director told me about him in a recent e-mail. He cuts traditional Chinese paper patterns using logos. He has some other intriguing work too.

Get the Hell out and Vote!
… from Rural Votes (dot) com
Texas Republicans have worked overtime to make it harder for key Democratic voting groups to vote and be represented fairly. The redistricting games they’ve played are infamous. And for the Prairie View A&M University precincts, they put the early-polling place more than seven miles from the school.
So what did the students in this video do? They shut down the highway as they marched seven miles to cast their votes on the first day of early voting.

cool, cool typey stuff
Check out this article on Design*Sponge about type inspired products. My favorite? The big red metal letters, followed by the chocolate movable-type . . . or maybe the tea-towels.

This makes me sad, and mad!
Did you guys see this on Design Observer? That show Quarterlife's site now has a "design channel" and, well, tell me if this line about fonts doesn't disturb you with it's blatant incorrectness:
Hi. My name is Tamar, and I’m a font addict. Seriously, I am. The funny thing, though, is that once upon a time, I thought ALL graphic designers, by definition, were as well . . . I know of numerous graphic designers who’s font arsenal consists mainly of Arial and Helvetica, Times New Roman and Garamond, and maybe a script and display font or two for fun. Anything else tends to be scary.
Um, on what planet is this freak a designer? In fact, is he/she really a designer at all? Forget about the quote—CHALK DUST?! Does that font exist outside of FREE-WARE?! Ugh.
