Designer's Holiday

2006-11-03T19:05:00.000-08:00

Why is it that so many designers I know LOOOVE Halloween?
I could not resist the need to post.

Halloween and my hero!

My two year old loves his computer. I hope this means early retirement for me!!!

Greetings from rainy Amsterdam

2006-08-10T06:14:00.000-07:00

This is just a blog entry to illustrate how small the world with internet can be. Read a blog entry a Ramblings of a Graphic Design Professor looked out the window, logged into Blogger and now writing this entry.
The weather in Amsterdam is rainy and greyish. There are many tourists out and about.
I visited a client at the Haarlemmerdijk, where it was crowded with tourist. This is a street very near to the Central Station, where they sell all kinds of high quality or fresh products. There is a chocolate shop, a shop for Portugese food, a shop with homemade breads, a shop with hundreds of different kinds of olive oil. Offcourse the obligatory coffeeshop can also be found here. Quite the bustling street.
Anyway since it is illegal to post private stuff during the boss' time I will sign off by greeting all future readers of this post and blog.

Great idea and I hereby pass the blog on!

This guy is having the time of his life!

This is an interesting idea Toby. I thought that I would give it a try.

My favorite joke

2006-07-06T09:53:00.000-07:00

NEVER ARGUE WITH A WOMAN

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her."I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman."But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.""Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

My kids are cuter than yours!!!

I just thought the world should know. I dare anyone out there to find kids cuter than these.

Loving My Laptop and Wireless Internet

2006-04-27T14:14:00.000-07:00

My new husband had to drag me kicking and screaming... well, I wasn't that opposed to the changes... into a new age of computing. In the brief time we've been married I've gone from slow dialup to DSL, from a single "good enough to get my work done" computer to a server with multiple computers (for him, me, our kids), a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone (still learning how to use it to download ringtones and such) and this laptop. Sitting here watching Oprah while surfing the net is much more fun than I thought it would be. I'm not computer-illiterate by any means. Been around computers and worked with computers for years. I even used to build computers from old parts. But over the years I've become lazy I guess. Buying a complete system was easier than assembling parts. Dialup was easier than doing the research on faster Internet service and just going through the necessary motions to get hooked up. And setting up a home network was just too much to think about it. But yes, I am loving the freedom of high speed, no wires, and a choice of computers around the house (or out of it).

Dirty Diapers

2006-04-04T11:18:00.000-07:00

Allow me a moment to rant. What is it with parents these days? Your everyday garden variety of litterbug is bad enough - tossing cigerettes and candy wrappers out the car window or chunking soda bottles anywhere but the trash can. But parents who leave stinky, dirty disposable diapers in the park, in the parking lot, on the changing table (not in the trash) of public restrooms, and yes even just sitting in a chair at a restaurant are the most disgusting, dispicable people. They (the diaper strewing parents) should be forced to do weekly cesspool duty at the local sewage plant. Let them stew in other people's crap for awhile and see how they like it.

Sign me...

Tired of dodging diapers from slimebag strangers with no sense of responsibility or a pinky's worth of consideration for others.

I was getting tired of seeing that guy bash his head against the computer so I decided to take matters into my own hands. Here is a great photo to look and a great link (great photos..great flash animations...what more can you want?)

What are UFOs?

2006-03-09T10:55:00.000-08:00

A UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object. The implication is that it could be anything (a bird, an airplane, a balloon, etc.) as long as we don't readily know what it is. I believe the majority of UFO sightings could be explained by regular, terrestrial means. I'm going to be optimistic and state that most UFO sightings are probably everyday things that the viewer could not identify. A light in the sky, for example, could be anything--perhaps a commercial or private airplane.

Another large portion of the sightings could be hoaxes. Most video cameras today have digital zoom features that blur whatever you focus upon so that it is totally unidentifiable. The SciFi Channel series Proof Positive presented many cases where a hoaxer focused on a star, and used digital zoom to magnify the object over 2000x. The result is a a blurred, morphing object that looks like nothing within our worldly experience.

A smaller portion might be astronomical phenomenon--such as shooting stars. Every year in November we are treated to the Leonids shower, and from time to time a large rogue meteor makes headlines.

Some UFO sightings could be unusual aircraft, such as secret military test aircraft. For example, the Stealth fighter and bomber were tested in the Air Force's secret base in the Nellis Test Range known as Area 51. People who drive by there would see unusual sights from time to time.

Now we are entering the area of speculation, but a small number of sightings might fall within the range of the paranormal. They might come from the center of our (supposedly) hollow Earth. They might be extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEn) traveling to Earth from other planets using nuts-and-bolts spacecraft. They might be extra-dimensional visitors who are capable of traveling from vast distances using only the power of their minds. They might even come from places that are not within our time-space continuum, and are perceived by us to be angels or demons. Whatever the case, let's just say we don't know what they are, but we don't know what they are not, either.

I've never seen anything that I might think to be a paranormal UFO, but I've seen a few unusual things and a light in the sky that I could not identify.

On the first occasion of a night launch of the space shuttle, it was announced that it could be visible all up and down Florida's east coast. I watched the launch on TV, and as soon as it had taken off successfully, I ran out to the porch of my mom and dad's apartment in Hialeah, near Miami, Florida. I saw a silver cone of smoke topped by a golden point and at the very tip the light appeared as bright as a welder's arc. It was amazing, even though I knew what it was, but it was very unusual.

On another occasion, I was older and was driving south on I-95 returning from a trip up north. As I passed Jacksonville, I could see a cone of silver smoke topped by a golden point, tipped by a bright welder's arc rising to my left. The night was cloudy, and as the shuttle approached the layer of clouds its bright light was reflected off of them. As the shuttle entered the cloud layer, its light diffused, and eventually dimmed and darkened as the shuttle continued to gain altitude.

One night, sitting in by parent's backyard with a pair of binoculars, I noticed a dim point of light moving in a straight line. The light could not be observed with my naked eye, but appeared faintly in the binoculars. It moved too slowly to be a meteor, so it might have been an airplane, but it did not blink like an airplane's running lights might. I do not know what that light was, so to me it's a UFO. However, I feel it was probably an aircraft or satellite. The fact that it's a UFO doesn't mean I'm going to jump to the conclusion that the object is of mysterious or paranormal origin.

I don't believe nor disbelieve the existence of paranormal UFOs. To quote Carl Sagan, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence," but Sagan also believed that the sheer number of billions and billions of stars that can support intelligent life and advanced civilizations means that we can't be alone in the universe. When faced with the unknown, its okay to say "I don't know."

Riddle Me This

2006-02-27T20:18:00.000-08:00

I ate lunch today at a Vietnamese restaurant that I frequent maybe once a week. I order the same thing every time - the #25 with a side order of crab rangoon. The waitress knows my order and tells it to the cook whenever I come in before I'm even seated.

When she brings the crab rangoon out she always brings Ketchup and Mustard. I've never used these condiments before with my crab rangoon. I always use the more traditional sauces and the delicious, sinus-clearing sriracha sauce.

Why does she brings these condiments with the crab rangoon? She knows my order, she must know that I never use these. Is there a cultural disconnect? Am I missing out on the wonderful combo of crab and mustard?

The Best Cuban Sangria Recipe

2006-02-22T17:08:00.000-08:00

1 bottle (750ml) inexpensive medium-bodied Spanish red wine
1 bottle (750ml) of coconut rum (spice rum may be interesting too)
1 large fresh orange
1 fresh lime
5 fresh kiwi
1 lb green grapes
1 fresh mango
1 lb fresh strawberries

Wash and cut fruit into small chunks. You do not need to peel fruit.
Place fruit into a large cooler or adequate container.
Pour full contents of wine and rum over fruit, mixing and stirring.
Cover the cooler and let stand for 24 hours in a dark, cool place.
Refrigeration is not necessary. It can be served straight or over ice.

Makes 30 servings - though I think it was more like 15.
Awesome!

Hot Air Balloon

2006-02-19T18:42:00.000-08:00

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man outside a pub below. He descended a bit more and shouted:

"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approx 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees longitude."

"You must be in Production" said the balloonist.

"I am" replied the man, "how did you know?"

"Well" answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help far"

The man below responded, "You must be an Account Manager"

"I am" replied the balloonist "but how did you know?"

"Well" said the man "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You are in exactly the same position now that you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

Meanwhile all the Creatives looked out of the pub window and muttered...
