When pricked, I immediately bleed either Beethoven or Brubeck, and not necessarily in that order. For over 35 years, I work by Design for the love of Design. Really wanted to be a physicist when I grew up, but I am too easily distrac
Charles Schulz introduced children, not only to Charlie Brown and Snoopy and all the wonderful Peanuts characters, but also the outstanding music of Vince Guaraldi (and Beethoven!).

Christmas wouldn't be the same without it.

A Charlie Brown Christmas turns 60 today! Premiering on December 9th, 1965.

Your identity design is a tool you will use for many yrs. It is a FLAG that explains what you are all about. It tells potential clients what they can expect, & if you are well-managed––or NOT––as the case may be. What is the value of any other tool you use for 5+ yrs?? @designonething.bsky.social

This is underwhelming following last year's anemic purple. WHITE. In other words, non-committal, not enough of anything to be judged. Safe, unless you think too hard about it. Sorta like answering the question, 'what is your favorite color?' with 'clear'.

You read that white: Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is 'Cloud Dancer'
This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white. The company says it's "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection."

Today is the anniversary of the famous photograph The Blue Marble. Here is the Christmas greeting from the Apollo 8 crew that captured it in 1968. It gives me chills to listen to it.

Happy Birthday Stuart Davis
December 7, 1892 - June 24, 1964

Love his work. He was well known for his jazz-influenced paintings of the 1940s & 1950s––bold, brash, and colorful. It combines three of my loves: art, graphic design, & jazz.

Big data is so valuable to marketers and advertisers. But when you think about it, the things that are really valuable in life cannot be measured. Social Media thinks you are a data point. To me, you are a friend! What things should be listed on your balance sheet?

#Startups: you have a brand from DAY ONE of your small business, whether you have given it any thought or not. If you wait till you have cash flow, your brand will have formed by default, whether for good or for bad. Don't let your Brand happen by accident. Nothing great ever happens by accident.

Abraham Lincoln's business card.

It was on this day in 1839 that 30-year-old Illinois state assemblyman Abraham Lincoln was admitted to practice law in the United States Circuit Court. Lincoln knew better- business cards do not have to be boring. Anything but boring. (Read the fine print!)

Dorothy Vogel, a librarian who, with her postal-clerk husband, Herbert, bought 1000s of works from future art stars like Sol LeWitt & Donald Judd, stashing them in their cramped one-bedroom New York, has died. She was 90.

The Pessimist: My cup is half empty.
The Optimist: My cup is half full.
The Realist: Technically, my cup is completely full, half water & half air.
The Thankful: My cup overflows. Psalm 23:5

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

My cup is overflowing, today & every day! Great is God's faithfulness!

It's the 110th Anniversary of E=MC squared. If you love science, this is a fabulous documentary about the history and background of Einstein's theory. It's one of my favs. I've watched it three times. I'd watch it again.

10 rules for students, teachers, and life by Sister Corita Kent, and John Cage. I don't agree fully with 6- "there is no win and no fail". But I do agree with Bob Ross that mistakes can be "happy little accidents." ow.ly/YbZwx
