pretty lat/long

It's that time of year: the Xmas Blend is here.

This time around (this is an annual thing - we're at version 4.0) I want to be a bit more intentional and serve up my fresh brew with care.

So in the spirit of connectedness and interactivity, I'm asking you to post or send a short message (like 140 characters or so) that tells me about one of the best things that happened to you in 2009 (or you can send pictures if you want!). In return, I'll share a very fun "mixed tape" that has shaped a year full of all-kinds-of-ups-and-downs.

I know it hasn't been easy for everyone during these uncertain times. But swapping and sharing could lighten the load, yes? And a few stories of hope matched with a few tunes of groove might just be what the doctor ordered. Or so I imagine.

P.S. If you're a photographer looking for something to give away this season, consider participating in the Help Portrait Project. If you're not, but want to share something extra, consider giving your time, energy or money to a local food bank or shelter. Or simply find someone in need and pay it forward.

Merry Christmas. Joyeux Noël. Feliz Navidad. Linksmų Kalėdų. สุขสันต์วันคริสต์มาส และสวัสดีปีใหม่. Noheri nziza n'umwaka mushya muhire!

I hope you enjoy.

Typographic Journals

Another type class wrapped up today and I love seeing what sort of journal entries the students come up with - so much diversity!

Photobooth 40

I got to celebrate the 4-0 at a wee gathering of west coast comrades. Good food and wine (with specially marked labels) flowed. My friend even had a cocktail designed by the bar manager at West (that included some lovely bourbon!) to mark the occasion.
