The things we notice
Filed under the category of: Not of any importance but caught my attention none-the-less
While getting a map set up for a client’s contact/location page, I noticed that the Google map about to be used has the same street spelled two different ways on the same city block. Nolen vs. Nolan
I don’t know whether its my weird obsession with typos or just my typical bad habit of pointing out others’ mistakes that prompted me enough to write about it. (more…)
Signs
If you’ve only got 11 mins to watch a short film, this would be the one you should choose today. Silent, other than the music.

Beards
My buddy Mike grew out his beard over the last month or so to a commendable length. While saddened that he has decided to remove it from his face, I applaud him in his efforts to do so in pieces. The handle-bar mustachio he was supporting this week is well worth another week or seven to master.

I am convinced that my obsession with facial hair only stems from the fact that I can’t grow anything other than what I refer to as “The Chester,” which consists of two symmetrical, detached lines of hair that adorn my upper lip after a couple weeks sans razor. If I had a van without windows and some tight-rolled jeans I might consider it a more regular facial-follicle option.
