Wow, it’s been three months since my last posting. I’ve been busy with odds and ends but plan on getting back into the swing of things.

I’ve recently found myself in a creative rut. Read my latest issue of HOW and visited a few sites on how to stay creative and keep your motivation. Then I had an epiphany… I should start doing experimental design work on my own, kind of like extra credit homework. And not just within the realm of graphic or web design, but incorporating the other creative things I like to do like painting, interior design and crafts.

I recall in one of my weekly staff meetings, asking my team to bring in and share something inspiring that they’ve created, totally unrelated to the work they do for me. Something that they were passionate about. That was one of the best staff meetings. It fostered new ideas and really got the team energized.

So off I go, with a new resolve and rejuvenated sense of purpose. Updates to come, TTFN!

I ran across this graphic from David McCandless at Informationisbeautiful.net. Aside from the fact that he manages to make mind-numbing stats look like masterpieces, this graphic is particularly interesting to me as I’ve finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon.

I’m still trying to figure out how to best use it, let alone how to whittle down what I have to say down to 140 characters (nearly impossible, I love to ‘talk’… er, tweet).

So according to the graphic, I’m dead…yet I managed to wrangle up two followers… how does that happen?!?

I’m kind of over all of the H1N1 doomsday media coverage. Folks are stockpiling it… selling it on the black market and what not…It’s insane. My hands are probably immune to it by now. If you know me, you know I’ve carried bottles for years and use at will.

Anyway, I ran out of my office supply of Method sanitizer the other day. (I won’t lie, I’m not much of an environmentalist, but I love the packaging…). I run down to the local Walgreens and they didn’t have any, so I was forced to buy the generic brand.

The label was so uninspiring, so, I fired up Illustrator and made my own label. Great conversation starter when people stop by to chat.
