No description for this now. Just look. Contemplate. I’ll explain later.

Please read this and spread it: Plastics are not as safe as you think

If there is one thing that defines ubiquitous in our society, it’s plastic. Look around and you’ll see it everywhere. There’s no doubt that without plastics our world would be very different, and most likely a lot more primitive. Food, medicine, and electronics come to mind as areas where plastics are particularly crucial.

It’s the food

I am Iceman

I went to Bisbee last weekend to compete in a unique local race, among other things. Every year, on the 3rd Saturday in October, the small mountain town hosts the Bisbee 1000 and the Iceman Challenge, 2 races featuring something Bisbee has quite a bit of: stairs.

The Bisbee 1000, a.k.a. The Great Stair Climb, is

We Are Made of Stars

Well the remnants of exploded stars, technically.

This is one of those fantastic truths that we may not think about much in our daily lives, but that, when fully considered, tends to make one stop for a moment and wonder at it all.

The short version of the story, which is accepted as basic fact by scientists

What I Listen to Every Friday Morning

So I guess the unintentional theme this week is “music that I rock out to”.

Fair enough. I may as well point you to the source of both of those fantastic tunes that I posted previously.

You see my good friend Noah has a radio show called “The B Train” Friday mornings from 8am-10am in Bisbee,

Durango = Yes

So I have a pretty good job.

I’m a full-time, salaried graphic designer. I’ve worked hard to get here, and it’s taken a lot of believing during the lean times. While It may be a 9-5 (8-5 with an hour lunch, to be exact) office job for the most part, last week I found myself hiking

Bananas & Beer

My friends, today I found what I believe to the best possible after run snack, and I felt compelled to share it with you: a banana and a beer.

I’ve experienced the benefits of each one on its own after a hard workout, and they are both fantastic recovery supplements. The banana

My New All-Time Favorite Podcast

Deke McLelland is the Man

I’ve been reading his books and watching his tutorials on all things Photoshop for years. He’s a bona fide* guru of graphics, and on top of that he’s pretty damn funny. I encourage everyone (even you non-designers might get a kick out of it) to check out dekePod:

“…what dekePod lacks in

The Eternal Question

(warning: raw emotional content ahead)

Why?

If we know that something isn’t quite working out, why do we keep at it, day after day, month after month, year after year, until finally something gives (again) and we just can’t take it anymore?

Why do we ignore the warning signs in a relationship? We postpone the inevitable, tell ourselves

Bisbee, part 1 of many – July 4th, 2008

Bisbee is an odd little town. Set in a geologically fascinating canyon that juxtaposes gray limestone bluffs, crumbly red hills, and solid granite mountains, the town has a surreal, foreign feel to it. The streets wind up and down the hillsides, many only wide enough for one car to pass at a time. Wooden houses
