I Call This One The Jewel/Osco "Pathetic Bachelor Special"

Man, few images could sum up ages 22-29 for me more succinctly than this clipping from the weekly Jewel circular. What's the girl version of this sad, sad dinner for one? Lean Cuisine, box of white zin, and a single rose?

The MBD Endorsement: Destroy Twitter

Now that everyone in the world is using stupid Twitter, you're going to need a way to view and filter the oodles of retarded dreck, e-noise, and 140-character infomercials from people who, if they behaved in such a self-aggrandizing way in person, you'd never speak to twice.

Twitter's web interface is lousy slow on my iMac so I've turned to Destroy Twitter. Contrary to some blog flack bemoaning its lack of features, DT, an Adobe Air app, is hands-down my favorite Twitter tool. It's great looking, has a sweet name, and does everything I—as a decidedly non power user—need it to. If DT also came as an iPhone app I'd totally marry it.

Hey, wouldn't it be cool if someone made a Twitter client called Tw@? I'd pay for that.

New Work: interactiveAmy.com Logo Design

I don't take on a lot of logo design work but if all potential clients came to me with their vision as thought-out as Amy of interactiveAmy.com did, I would definitely do more.

Seriously, this one practically designed itself. iA knew the colors she wanted to use, knew she wanted something bold, and together we had the logo for her fledgling social media consulting venture designed, printed on business cards, and gracing her website in less than two weeks. That girl is a doer. And she tweets a lot, so I guess she's, like, a super rockstar at social media.

My Mechanic Is Clever

That oily thumbprint? It's printed on. Part of the design. Simply outstanding.

It's Like a Grid Within a Grid Wrapped in a Grid

That epileptic ADD banner may be gone, but the new Pitchfork site redesign is still wicked hard to look at. Everything is all crammy and bled-together, the logo is as bland as an acoustic Jet b-side, and they don't even have a favicon. Hey, Pitchfork: The World Wide Web called from 1996 and it wants its address bar back.

This Ain't Stealing: Wavvves

Funny, because I'm not 17 anymore and this isn't the last week of school before summer break and Brad no longer owns that shitted-out Honda Civic, but fuck I feel like getting a couple 40s, maybe heading over to Bobs house to scrounge for some weed or snacks or Monster League Football and killing time until the show tonight where there'll be more weed, booze, and chicks who pay no attention to us so we'll go pick up Charlie and maybe smash some mailboxes or push a lawnmower into a pool before we get some gas station nachos and swing back by Bob's to grab that last half bottle of vodka and meet up with these other girls we met at that party last week that got busted and we had to hide in the basement for two hours and Seth pissed in the laundry basket because he couldn't hold it until the cops left but those girls were kind of ugly and I'm still pretty hungry and Brad says Suzanne is having a party tonight so why don't we go over there and get some food or steal some of her dad's beer out of the garage fridge, I mean, I don't have to work tomorrow until two, so, yeah, let's go...
