Random Thinking
Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 11:51AM Nothing specific to blog about, but lots of specific things to say:
• There are a lot of things I've seen written that I wish I had wrote.
• There are things that I've written that I wish I hadn't, but not too much.
• I like Facebook because I've reconnected with some great people I haven't heard from in years.
• I don't like Facebook because I barely can remember what I had for breakfast today, and honestly don't care that someone I haven't talked to in 20 years burned their toast. Throw another piece in and be quiet about it.
• Why can't I get young designers and students to understand to turn off the automatic hyphenation feature in their software programs so their paragraphs don't bre-ak li-ke th-is and have 3 hyphenated sentences in a row. It looks sloppy whether it's in your design work or a cover letter. Stop it and pay attention.
• While we're talking about design, http://kuler.adobe.com is a great site. Just don't become lazy using it.
• Not a single day goes by that I don't hear the following bands on the radio: Red Hot Chili Peppers; Sublime; Smashing Pumpkins; The Beastie Boys. Every single day. Bands I always loved are becoming music that annoys the savage beast. Stop it, corporate radio, or at least play some of their lesser known tracks. Sheesh.
• I've been having a lot of fun playing around with iMovie. Just need to find more time...
• If life begins at 50, why do I need a Red Bull in the morning before I workout?
• Watching Sopranos reruns reminded me (again) of how great the music was. Check out this wiki site for every song played on the show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_on_The_Sopranos
• Especially listen to "Evidently Chickentown" by John Cooper Clarke. What a great song, and it's almost 30 years old.
• They say if you love your job you'll never have to work a day in your life. Well, I really like my job but some days it definitely feels like work. Especially post 9/11.
• My new dog, a shelter-rescued coonhound, likes to try and climb trees. Seems that his breed was bred for hunting bear and boar. Funny how they never put that stuff on the intake papers. But he's a great pup, and I'm guessing those squirrels are his own personal windmills.
• At least I didn't mention what I had for breakfast. OK- it was half a bagel and some Smart Bacon.
