Hate to go all Apple Fanboy on you (it’s been awhile, I know), but this picture made me laugh.
Never again shall any of us wonder why more Graphic Designers use Macs.

I’m a Twit

That’s right, I Twitter.
I have been Twittering away for a couple months now. It started as a simple way to update my Facebook status and connect with a few friends who are Twitteraholics. Now, I find myself wanting to update my status all the time. I have even linked it with this here blog so when I put a new post out there for the world to see, it notifies my Twitter and Facebook pals.
Pretty cool.
So, do you Twitter? If so, jump over to my page and follow me. Who knows, maybe I’ll follow you too…
Good Search

Thanks to Kate, who let me know about GoodSearch.com. It’s a search engine that donates to your favorite charity.
And of course, we all know your favorite charity is Riverview!
Every time you search, the church gets a penny. Sure, it doesn’t seem like much, but think of the number of searches you do a day. I’ve been using it for a week or so and it’s not bad. They even have a Firefox plugin that makes it your default search engine.
So, if you feel like giving it a whirl, head over to their site and enter Riverview as your charity. You know you want to.

The $1,000,000 Photo
Apr 19, 2008 Uncategorized Hodge Podge
Someday I will sell this photo for a million bucks. It’s my son Jesse’s first pitch in kid pitch baseball. He was the starting pitcher today and he struck out his first batter. He then got the final two outs of the first inning by fielding the ball and getting the batter out at first.
The team lost, but Jesse won in my eyes.
