Doing a little event for the Trailblazers at the adidas campus. I had no idea this place existed, but to be fair it’s easily 2 miles from my house.
I was reading Brand New’s coverage of MSN’s new shitty rebrand and my sentiments towards msn.com reflected those of the article: I haven’t even thought of MSN in many years and the whole portal concept feels antiquated. I can’t imagine using MSN today.
But, hey, I’m a sucker for something new and not only did they get a new logo, they’ve also drastically redesigned their website. I’m actually very impressed that a design this light and airy came out of the pits of Microsoft design hell. It’s really a quite good design.
However! The first thing I noticed was the Glenn Beck article and accompanying excerpt talking about how he’s single-handedly revitalizing the “ailing book industry.” As such, I have decided to file MSN back under “useless” and forget about it for another eight years.

Continuing my yearly tradition of just completely fucking up some pumpkins. This year I tried to create a magical pony but I ended up making something that looks more like a deranged cat with junk in the trunk and a scotty-dog head. So I added some stars and a rainbow to help it out.
