One of the best things about going to a Wings game in Philly is always the intro of the other team. After a long, drawn out entrance by the Wings, the other team gets their intro and the entire stadium follows up with “SUCKS” after each name is announced. Not quite the impact here since it was kinda empty because it was a re-scheduled game, but you get the point…

 

 

Word on the street is Burton laid off a batch of people yesterday, and adidas followed up with layoffs of their own today.

I finally saw Planet Terror today. Outstanding, 10 thumbs up.

Check the trailer that runs at the beginning, outstanding as well.

 

Great sticker placement inside a Jersey trash can. This was my view sitting in my car while I got gas.

 

Photoshop Disasters is a great site about a topic that always fascinates me – how little attention to detail people put into faking their images / communication with Photoshop. Check out the site, some of these projects are pretty high profile.

I’ve been sitting on this image below for a while and was going to post it and didn’t – because it’s so dumb. Some design firm got paid a bunch of money to show the following aspirational image:

• Three idiots jumping off a boat about 8′ up into knee-deep water, where it looks like they got a running start and ran through the rail on the boat.
• The chick posing with her surfboard, ready to go paddle around a completely flat ocean where anything but surfing will be involved.
• Giving up part way through creating the surf chick’s reflection even though it was added to the other women.
• The fact that after putting together this whole image, nothing about this scene is compelling except to say if you chew Skoal you must be an asshole.

 

My mom works in a home for mentally and physically handicapped people, most living in wheelchairs. Every Easter and Thanksgiving, we bring 4 or 5 of them home and it’s always so much fun. Bringing them home on the bus always kick starts the adventure…

 

The BYOB part of dinner didn’t leave much room on the table for sushi last night.
