Here are the last two drawings (pages 15-16) as they are in the sketchbook. While they were originally drawn separately, I like how they work together.

Gonna try posting some drawings. Here is the first one.

The genesis of these goes back more than 15 years. I would do these line drawings on whatever paper I had handy at the moment. Some of them survived and are in a box of papers somewhere, but most were lost or discarded as mere doodles. A couple years ago I started trying to put them in a sketchbook. Not until recently have I been doing them with any regularity.

Here is one from page 25 from the first book.

Kraft Foods to Change Name

Kraft Foods said it plans to change its name to Mondelez International, a word it coined (made up) to mean "delicious world." Apparently this was announced last week, but I just heard about it.

The name reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld, where Mr. Pitt is negotiating a merger of two bottled water companies and the new name was going to be "Moland Springs." Elaine screws up the merger when she says the obvious: it's a stupid name.

Nobody wants to drink water called "Moland." The same applies here, I don't want to eat "Mondelez Macaroni & Cheese." Of course, I'm sure they won't be rebranding all their products as "Mondelez." I'm sure the "Kraft" brand will stick around. Right?

Irene Rosenfeld, the soon to be Mondelez International chief executive, said when announcing the name change, "Mondelez perfectly captures the idea of a 'delicious world' and will serve as a solid foundation for the strong relationships we want to create with our consumers, customers, employees and shareholders."

Really? Nobody in the board room stood up and said it was stupid name.

I've always thought that problem-solving is highly overrated and that problem creation is far more interesting.

Ah, HTML5... It's 1999 all over again. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a web browser should be more like a television set. They must support and implement standards equally or what is the point. Imagine that your tv displayed certain channels in black and white because it didn't understand how to display certain broadcast signals.

Here is an overproduced short film of a cat named Archie as he takes shower. Archie is obsessed with water and takes a shower everyday. He believes cleanliness is next to catliness.

Targeted Advertising

Came across this screen capture from about a month ago on my desktop. I thought it was funny.
