Is winter finally gone?



Here's a nice little ad for Greenpeace.
I am using it to celebrate that winter might just be over.
I said might.

As far as the ad, the idea is cute. The problem is not. And the ad seems to just make a joke and slap on a logo. "Hah, global warming...funny..." Is that what an ad should do?
Just askin'.

looks nice though and I love snow globes. I collect 'em.

Making the Logo Bigger

Thanks to Steve Post for this
Make the logo bigger

It's just one of those thing in the business that seems to be a running joke. We all run into unsophisticated clients who feel that the size of the logo is more important than how it is used. but sometimes, making the logo bigger can be cooler than you think.
And remember if you look at it as a challenge or a problem to solve, you might come up with something that surprises you.

April Showers



Nice way to wind down the winter season. A massive area-crippling snowstorm.
Between a snowless Christmas and January and a bone chilling Easter, I don't really know what to expect for the summer.
Maybe one more shot at the ski hill?

A strange little poem

This showed up in my email This morning. A strange little poem apparently gathered from various other poems of unknown origin. It appears this guy seems to be collecting them. And parts may be from these poems. I believe they are some sort of email probe or "spam filter confuser" I am not sure what it means, but just trying to connect the images and words to create meaning is interesting. I anyone has any information on these things, let me know.
Blurring the terrain,
Beyond ice floe and berg and ice-bound sea,
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;
Green lilac buds appear that won't survive
As it sits there like an eventual
shortcake, waffles, berries and cream
Partly stone, partly the absence of stone,
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;
their bellies, they're out cold, instantaneously
Side of the painting, the world of that wise, white,
The pain of being born into matter.
He terrifies the Vast, he seems so wild;
Floating on the sky.
Like theirs ends? From what distant point of vision

Event, the end of the painted road ends up
Chose to walk out of it, they'd have to pass
Given by nature will soak into it.
In the sound of the snow. What the countless
