A Blueprint in the Chaos

Big companies changing the English language – an open letter to advertisers

Rant over…had to get it off my chest how frustrated I am at these types of deceptive practices.  If you can’t succeed with your product by being honest, then your product sucks.

A Local’s View of the 2010 Winter Olympics

With the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony tonight, the eyes of the world will be focused on Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia for the next couple of weeks.  The airtime will extensive, and we’ll get our fill, and more, of the heartwarming, stories behind the athletes…blah, blah, blah. 

So, have you ever wondered what the Olympics are like from a local’s perspective?  If you want to see an insiders view of the Olympics, head on over to the Whistler Runner blog.  Authored by Munny,  a self described “true good old Canadian endurance junky”, he is the “other half” of a work colleague and friend.  The Whistler Runner blog will provide an inside look at several of the Olympic venues.  Munny is an Olympic volunteer and so far, has provided some intriguing behind the scenes videos and images of the building of several venues.

So, if you, like me, enjoy the Winter Olympic games, go check out Munny’s site and get the feel from a local.

Man Ray: An Artist Any Designer Could Love

via www.fastcompany.com

This is a good article on Man Ray from Fast Company.  I recently saw an Ovation TV program on the influence that Man Ray, among others such as Alexander Rodchenko and August Sander, had on the development of photography as an artistic medium. He had a revolutionary eye, and his work is just plain cool.

Be sure to set your DVR timers for the upcoming re-broadcast of the program:  The Genius of Photography: Document for Artists.  It airs several times in late November on Ovation TV.
