Are you a designer? Do you have clients? Are they in love with their logo to the detriment of anything you try to design for them? Then this song is for you:

Make the Logo Bigger presumably by Burnback.

From a post titled “Rush’s Law“:

Rush should be urged to share his story with America. Here’s he is, an impotent, thrice divorced, ex-drug addict, conservative, parolee who went on a sex tour in the Caribbean and found himself rudely embarrassed for carrying recreational prescription drugs in his doctor’s name. Who can’t relate to that?

I like Stephen Colbert but I have to admit that I prefer his mentor, Jon Stewart. After the White House Press Correspondent’s Dinner though, I have newfound respect for the man. My jaw dropped watching his ballsy, spot-on performance at the dinner:

Update: I realized after posting this that it doesn’t contain the full video (and it has an annoyingly long introduction). To see the full thing check out Salon’s Video Dog. They also posted his press secretary audition skit.

Waxy.org is hosting a series of parodies of Bill Cosby called the “House of Cosbys” wherein Cosby is the subject of a cloning experiment gone wrong. Bill Cosby is threatening legal action against Waxy, claiming “unfair competition” and a violation of Bill’s “rights of publicity.”

Bloggers have been removing links to Waxy in response to messages from Bill’s legal team. Nevermind that the material is protected under the first amendment and nevermind that, as Waxy points out, Cosby has been paradied by Mad Magazine, Saturday Night Live, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and others.

This is a guy with extremely thin skin going after the little guy because he knows he can’t go after the big boys, legally or professionally. The latter would be career suicide. Not that he is doing much these days anyway.

Go here for Waxy’s response which includes clips from many of the Cosby parodies.

Now that I’ve posted no less than three links to Waxy (oops, four now), I have one thing to say to Bill Cosby and his legal team:

Sue Me

PS If Waxy ends up getting sued and has to setup a legal defense fund, I’ll gladly contribute to it. (Hopefully, those of you reading this will do the same if I get sued.)

My wife was in the other room and had been in there for a while. I got up to check on her because I knew she wasn’t feeling well. She was resting on the bed in-between doing the laundry and cleaning the bathroom. This was after she cooked dinner.

I suggested that she leave the cleaning alone until she felt better and she replied that she had to clean when she was sick. To which I replied “Let’s go for a walk.” (It was cold and raining outside.)

She declined and amended her previous statement: she had to clean when her stomach was upset. That might sound weird but we have two dogs and a cat and the smells bother her sometimes. Now, dinner was not my cup of tea, so, seizing on a comedic opportunity I replied: “More food?”

Surprisingly, she was too busy laughing to throw anything at me.

I had been wondering why I read Daring Fireball for about a week now when this post popped up in my news reader: iLife ’06 From the Perspective of an Anthropomorphized Brushed Metal Interface.

If you’re not a designer and you don’t use Apple products, it might not be that funny to you. If you are a designer and/or you use Apple products, try not to spew whatever you’re drinking all over your keyboard. Especially if it’s a laptop. That can really damage it…
