Here, kitty kitty kitty.
I personally like cats, but this is definitely something all designers want to do from time to time:
Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone… possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out “Shannon, where are you?”Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.

It’s a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

- Double Rainbow Guy interviewed by Fast Company, of all things. Videogum has the man-boob-free highlights: “I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Last night I went to an Indian sweat and I prayed really hard about this. When I shot the video, I was not high at all, I was not having sex, and I was not hiking, as a lot of people assume. This is my land that I bought in 1988. Wait, what was the question?”
Turns out Kill Hannah is opening for the Smashing Pumpkins tonight on the “Bands I should have seen in 1996 tour.” Here’s “Kennedy.”
Updated: Apparently that AIDS breakthrough isn’t a cure after all.
