The 50 Dol­lar Logo Experiment

I turned to the clev­erly named 50DollarLogo.com, a site based in Sri Lanka or some­where prom­ising six logo designs, unlim­ited revi­sions, and a 1–3 day turn­around. Who needs messy things like research, insight, or even a modicum of inform­a­tion about my busi­ness, when I can have unlim­ited revi­sions?

This feels a lot like my life at the moment, only I am the one try­ing to make a decent logo out of cheese and Naz­areth and the people I work for want some­thing with more anthropomorphism.

This is an awe­some pro­ject: ‘We’re All Gonna Die — 100 meters of exist­ence’.

The images is 100 metres long, and there are 178 people in the pic­ture. All were shot from the same spot on Warschauer Strasse in Ber­lin in the sum­mer of 2007.

Dropbox = Awesome

Drop­box is, per­haps, the single best web­site ever. Everever. Even more so than Tesco.com and they bring me food, so you know this isn’t a decision I’ve reached eas­ily. Sync doc­u­ments on dif­fer­ent com­puters, with a web-based inter­face for those pesky com­puters that won’t let you install any­thing, and a deleted doc­u­ment recov­ery facil­ity for those import­ant documents/essays you may pos­sibly, poten­tially, per­haps have deleted in a fit of insan­ity and can’t recover from your OS even with the aid of vari­ous doc­u­ment recov­ery tools. Not that I would ever do that.

Addi­tion­ally, the pub­lic folder allows you to drag in any doc­u­ment and get a pub­lic link to share in seconds — per­fect for those moments you just need to share a photo of a sleepy ham­ster but just don’t have the energy to type in a URL and click an upload button.

Get Drop­box

Right now, I’m not convinced you can have any…

Al shared this with me this morn­ing. I’m not quite sure what his point is:

All I need now is a desktop size ver­sion, a wall poster size ver­sion, and maybe a wee man to knock on my door every half hour ask­ing why they hell I’m doing THOSE THINGS when I have ALL THAT CRAP to do.

Welcome back!

Inter­rupt­ing a two day sleep-fest (something’s broken, but I don’t know what…) to tell you that I love this to pieces:
