June 2008

Last week I met up with friends Bill, Jessie, Meredith, and Andrew on their Western conquests. It was a great adventure, both enlightening and inspiring, and provided an unexpected perspective to look at life from.

Guys, thanks again for letting me tag along, it was a blast. A few photos from the journey are here.

This is super neat. Imagine how a whole room like this would look. (via sarah goodreau)

Around the time schools start to have final exams, ever since that thing happened, I began getting a handful of emails like this one:

Hello, my name's Florence and I live in France, in a little town near Paris. The other day, I had an oral exam in English, and a part of the exam was the analysis of an "unknown document"... which happened to be the poster you did on November 4th, 2007 "I saw the girl of my dreams..." So I analysed it and everything, and in the end I said "it's probably a fake document" and the teacher said "Actually, I think it's real..." So I checked it out for myself, and I must say I'm really impressed ! I didn't know guys still knew how to be romantic and respectful to women. Anyway, my mom's an English teacher too, and she found your poster pretty great, so she's going to give it to her pupils in class to study it...

It's very bizarre, crazy, cool to think that the story is being taught as a lesson in other countries. It's also interesting to see foreign perception's of Americans and the lessons chosen to represent the English language.

I caught myself wondering if I'll still have a blog in 20 or so years, when I have a kid. Will I write a blog entry after I give him 'the talk' about sex?

“ Gave the boy a sex talk today. It ROCKED! I nailed it.” (illustration of what happened)

Will he write one too?

“Dad gave me the sex talk today... what a loser. I'm having unprotected, future sex tonight. He sucks at drawing too. Ughhh.”

Will the internet evolve to account for this? Will it not, and force the two of us to know what the other is thinking? Will this benefit society? Will it hurt society?

It's a hot one out today.

Free dinosaur prints!

I printed a ton of these dinosaurs a few weeks ago as test prints and now have a big stack of them sitting around. I figured they were a little too silly to sell legitimately, so I want to give them away to anyone who wants one.

You can also upgrayedd to a hand painted version for a few bucks.
