anyway – i’m vicariously on vaca through this lovely photo- where i have no idea where i got it from, so if its yours – its beautiful and i’m jealous.
good weekend
tgif. so happy to see that one go – that means one less week of winter to have to deal with! it has been a trying week at best. ramming our creative heads in to walls, fighting technological demons that are vinyl cutters, slicing digits with dull blades – we welcome the weekend. so in lieu of the commercial holiday that is valentines day – i leave you with a really cool diy (and i’m sad that i have never seen this site before today.)
via a blog that i will be following like a hawk – benign objects.
happy monday.
here is a very different evil post for you. i’m coming off a bit of a rant.
Kids -
Today I write you about a sore topic called Arial. Today in my alternate life I had someone request a font change…from Helvetica to Arial. Here is why I cry. First of all, lets have a design history lesson kids. Helvetica was created by Haas Foundry in the 50′s. When was Arial created? Yeaaa, 82. Hello, Arial is a rip-off of Helvetica. So – naturally Arial is awesome cause its younger….NOT. It’s limited – yay a couple style options (really is awesome trying to create hierarchy on a newsletter), its homely and just plain dumb. People, I beg of thee – its a system font for a reason. It is only acceptable for web, thats all folks.
Arial is a poser.
We don’t like posers.

Cannon Beach Residence – Nathan Good Architect, P.C.
Maybe I have a profound respect for architecture because I have no mathematical skills at all and can only dream of being as bad-ass as these architects we post here. Take this bad boy…the Cannon Beach Residence, a yummy compilation of Nathan Good (architect) and Georgia Erdenberger (interior designer). Bring the outside in… l o v e i t. Oh yea, and on top of it looking phenomenal it also is very green. Read about it here.
So nice.
