I’ve been out and about so to speak the past week or so. I’ve been working on some pretty cool ideas that’ll hopefully see the light of day. I’ll keep you posted as these ideas move closer to seeing the light of day (fingers-crossed). Until then, kick back and enjoy the old boring material.

I’ve been on a little summer “blog-cation” the past month and half. It’s been great. While life in the real world has continued at a feverish pace, life here in the blog world, slowed way down. It was needed. Not that I was ever the greatest, most dedicated blogger, but I needed sometime away from the blog to live life.

With that said, you’ll notice the design changed. That was due to the forgetfulness of my time off and my lack of care and attention when I was cleaning up files. I deleted a few files and well, things change. It’s not until after you wipe the dust that you realize you (I) broke it. Oh well, that’s life.

On a better note, I’ll be back blogging and covering everything from the Tour de France to things sitting on my desk in the world of Information Architecture.

Thanks again for stopping by. And yes, I enjoyed my vacation!

Alfred, We Hardly Knew Thee , is appearing January 8th, through February 9th, 2008 at Ford Gallery. The exhibit highlights the evolution of the fictional character Alfred E. Neuman.

Neuman who first appeared in late eighteenth-century English social commentaries all the way up to his rise to fame as the recognizable face of Mad Magazine.

Stop by and listen on one of the lectures by John Hett (editor and publisher of the Journal of Madness) and Al Feldstein (editor of Mad Magazine).

Today is January 7th, which means 2008 is 6, going on 7, days old now. Great, other than folks still wishing people ‘Happy New Year’.

I think the cut off for holiday wishes has come and gone. After about three days, it’s time to move on. We all know it’s a new year and we’ve all wished dozens of people a ‘happy new year’ by now.

What do you think is the cutoff for holiday wishes after the holiday has passed?
