When conducting a design review I think it is important to establish the proper relationship with the designer.

Thanks to Mark, who was so impressed with my management skills that he documented my techniques.

It’s Adrienne Day!^*

Do you want to know what Adrienne got for Adrienne Day? See that heart right there? That is from the Holiday font set from House Industries. How great is it that my wife asks for fonts as a present‽ ←What my little font-nerd friends? Did I just drop an interrobang on you? Yes, yes I did.

It is harder to orchestrate a great Adrienne day now that we have three kids, but the way Adrienne deals with them makes me want to give her 365 Adrienne Days. She is far more likely to be drawing, painting, writing, reading, or having a dance party with them than she is to park them in front of the TV. I think that if we were landed gentry with access to the finest tutors in the world our kids minds would not be in better hands than they are in now—or my mind for that matter…

It is the greatest thing in the world to be married to someone like Adrienne. We can talk about anything as equals. The first time we really hung out together in college we ended up talking for 6 hours. We can still talk for 6 hours and never be bored.

Also, she is hot.

Please take a second to wish Adrienne a happy Adrienne Day.

I opened every single one of these emails hoping I might actually be able to purchase the product promised by the subject line. Wheelchair Sandpaper?! Fire Web!?

I have had a blog since sometime in early 2000 and I think since about April of 2002 I have posted at least something every month, until late last year where I stopped writing. No big dramatic reason either. I somehow just stopped. Kind of the way I am with shaving, and the reason I end up with a beard every so often.

I think I may have just implied that I grow a beard when I stop writing… Since I don’t have a beard, it must be time to start writing again.

Now, a benefit of not having written anything in a few months—I have gotten rid of everyone but the true believers! OK, now that everyone else is gone, get out your Amishrobot secret decoder rings out.

Ready?

(Nerds might call this post “meta blogging” and they would say it is the worst thing ever. I think people that say things like “meta blogging” are the worst thing ever.)

(Yes, that is a real secret code.)
