Death By Twitter
Monday, October 26th, 2009

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?!?


H1N1 Crazy
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

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.
