1.The one bizarro piece you keep in your portfolio: It’s a little morbid but I would love to have this person’s porfolio piece on my desk to discuss! Holy anatomical correctness!

2. Please don’t mess up my google street view: Google is squelching this report now, but if those annoying pop up ads strart showing up on my street view I’m going back to using a printed map and compass.

4. Taking a gander at AKA Corleone’s posters-these are DYN-O-MITE.

5. A redesign of the airline boarding pass: Tyler Thompson takes this on and makes me think-hell why didn’t I think of that? Pretty clever.
