Have a great Judgment Day, everybody!
If the rumours are true, and today is indeed Judgment Day, then it’s been nice knowing you, and I hope you get judged well. Kate and I are still in the UK, so unfortunately I won’t get to see most of my friends and loved ones again before the big event. On the other hand, […]

Thank you, Rich Platel!
I’m not very good at delegating the workload I’ve created for myself. I’ll be the first to say so. It’s one of the things I need to work on, and I’m in a good position to do so, because I’m lucky enough to know my share of hard working, capable, creative people. One of those […]

This is how a creative partnership works
In spite of my earlier promises, I haven’t posted much on this blog this week. What’s more, I won’t be posting much of any value for at least another week. Let me at least take a moment to tell you why. Tonight, my wife and I attended the wedding of two very good friends of […]

Taking off, eh?

Link of the Day: These Come From Trees
To tell you the truth, I’m not really sure how I feel about linking to these guys. Their message is obvious, and their claim to being “the world’s first guerrilla public service announcement” can’t possibly be true. But at the end of the day, I guess they do make a valid point. I mean, speaking […]

Link of the Day: The Catch 22 Campaign
