A friend of mine just sent me this great news video from the Onion entitled, New Wearable Feedbags Let Americans Eat More, Move Less. Future developments are “family feed troughs,” and “drive threw feed hoses.” I would love to work for these guys.

I just got a pile of new posters back from ShortRunPosters.com and was relatively impressed. They print 18×24 full color on a glossy 80lb paper for $2 a piece. Color and quality is surprisingly impressive for the price.

In listening to the news this morning I heard a reading the entire Declaration of Independence. I think I may be repurposing it for the needs of Anarkon as so many parts of it are relevant to my project. The following segment I’m especially drawn to…

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

In a consumer crazed country like America I think many people would see a corporate sponsored state as “a new government most likely to effect their happiness.”

I just got confirmation from the head of the Graphic Design department that I will have the distinct pleasure of working with bona fide brand guru Debbie Millman this summer. Debbie is president of Sterling Brands in New York, host of Design Matters, a board member of the New York Chapter of the AIGA and a mentor at the High School of Art & Design. She is also an author on the design blog Speak Up and a writer for Print Magazine. Needless to say, I’m very excited about having her input and direction on my thesis project.
