10.29.08Poor CholulaYesterday when I got out of class I walked up to my car, "Cholula", and discovered her in quite a state. There was no note, and I haven't found any witnesses yet. In all actuality I wasn't that mad. Yes I care about the things I own, but care in the sense that I will clean / fix / maintain them to keep/use them as long as possible. I'm pretty easy going if something is an accident. This though is just really inconsiderate and I think what saddens me more is that someone intentionally drove off after seeing what they did to ...

10.25.08It’s all about taste, right?Hi Pepsi, I've always been a Coke man myself, but I just had to ask what you were thinking regarding your recent brand redesign? Over the next few years you plan to spend 1.2 billion dollars to completely overhall all of your brands e.g. Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Tropicana, Gatorade, + more. [pics: Brand New] I like: the move towards simplicity (with the Pepsi can) I dislike: the type choice (it rings of Bauhaus Light) I have been wrong before, like with the London 2012 Olympics logo. I didn't like/understand it at first but once I saw it executed in promotional motion graphics, everything ...

10.20.08Infographics / Daytum / FeltronLately a recent love has become well designed infographics. Idn Magazine's most recent issue is devoted solely to infographics with the fitting title: We ♥ Infographics. I recently got a beta testing invitation to Daytum. While at the moment its breaking down my breakfast and beverage consumption, I think the possibilities of visually displaying how we use our time is fascinating. RescueTime breaks down the programs and website you use, how long you use them, and rates your productivity. Its been handy, but Daytum is sexier. Nicholas Feltron has become designer-famous for this. His release of annual reports each year that ...

10.14.08StuffedFor cooking my first thanksgiving meal on Saturday things turned out pretty good. The food and company were both amazing. High Points: Dethawing the Turkey in the Microwave (it just fit) The finished product: Rosemary Turkey Stuffing from scratch Candied Yams Pumpkin "pudding" Low Points: Impromptu Gravy (too pasty) Pumpkin pies not setting properly Losing monopoly (my pride has been grazed) It was a rad time learning how to cook various things and took me that much closer to putting that smarmy Rachel Ray in her place. We be scrappin' now Rach, its on.

10.11.08On Roasting BirdsThis weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and some friends and I are cooking a turkey diner today, complete with all the 'fixins'. Having never done this before, i've been googling this morning trying to find some good recipes. After narrowing things down a bit I think I've decided on this recipe for Rosemary Roasted Turkey. Rosemary is awesome, turkey is awesome, and I can only imagine the two combination's of immense flavors forming a small universal collide inside my mouth. Unfortunately, all holidays have some downside. In this case, its giblets. Really not excited about stick my hand in a turkey's 'cavity'. ...
