Lady: I don’t want to leave Ohio. It reminds me a bit of Texas except it’s colder.
Wow.

1 CommentA lot of thought goes into the design of fonts.
Here’s a little write up describing design techniques that we probably all take for granted.
Forgot it.
Darn it.
I should put a tip cup on my desk at work.

1 CommentI’m headed back to Ohio.
Tonight’s flight leaves just after 5:00 to Charlotte. Then, after a couple hour layover, I take my second flight into the Akron Canton airport at 10:00pmish.
The rest of the week will see updates from Ohio. Until then!

Mike D: “whew. well? pretty much now.”
Ed: “realistically?”
Mike D: “Well, if we had them on site by the middle or end of next week that’d be awesome.”
Ed: “gah… okay…”
Mike D: “and if we had them on site on Monday it’d be even awesomer.”
Ed: “Awesomer?”
Mike D: “yeah.”
Ed: “is that even a real wo-”
Mike D: “probably not.”
The BeDazzler is here and it’s ready to go. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything so blindingly pink before. The glow of this box has the potential to destroy the reputation of any man not comfortable with his masculinity. That said, I must blog about it. Shield your eyes good friends. Shield your eyes.
Have you ever seen anything so powerfully effeminate? And to be honest, the picture doesn’t come close to the pink power of the real box. In real life, when you see this item, Clay Aiken, Josh Groban, and various boy band songs immediately get stuck in your head.
Once I get the silk screen prepared and order the proper BeDazzling rhinestones, we are going to make the Fibonacci Sequins t-shirts happen. Never before has a beDazzled shirt been so geeky. Get excited.

Complaint regarding: Mr. Sandman.
Date: 10/31/08
Description:
Mr. Sandman’s lack of punctuality has been highly degrading to our team’s performance.
Last night, despite an 8 hour opportunity window, Mr. Sandman showed up 6 hours late - giving us only 2 hours of productive time together. While I understand that he might feel slighted after being shunned earlier in the week during the visit of Academ Inc., in order to make this team successful we have to be willing to let past grievances be forgotten.
If this behavior continues I think it will be necessary to take disciplinary actions on Mr. Sandman.
Authored by: mike d.There’s a hurricane of delicious coming to CT.
And its name is Guarapina.
Upon reading Alicia’s blog post about my Portland visit, I was reminded of the our trip to the Pambichi brunch place. Alicia, Dwane, Sarah, and I went on Alicia’s birthday to celebrate her life with Cuban delights. She and I both ordered a Guarapina: a beverage that mixes pineapple juice with sugar cane juice.
It was like drinking sugar Octane. I will go to the store this weekend and buy ingredients, I will make this luscious drink, and I will take pictures and document the deliciousness. Get excited. It’s going to be awesome.
Authored by: mike d.The Best Lack of Sleep Ever.
Last night I sat down and hit the books to complete a vibrations exam and a bunch of academic stuff for an MBA Brookstone* strategy assignment. I didn’t get to sleep until 1:30am-ish. Then, I had to get up this morning before 6am for a cholesterol check down at the Hospital.
Tangent: The Hospital.
Meriden, CT is home to the mid-state medical center hospital. Apparently they recently did some housekeeping: the hospital is beautiful. Walking inside felt less like a hospital and more like a trip into a hotel. It didn’t smell like Hospital. It smelled… like a delicious coffee shop. And sure enough, there was a dunkin donuts inside the hospital.
The signage was extremely clear. And the interior design was really classy and warm. I never thought I’d be so impressed with a Hospital. Way to go Mid-state Medical!
Anyway… despite the paltry 4.5 hours of rest - I am feeling great today. It’s remarkable how great I feel. Why is this? we can only wonder. But somethings have definitely helped.
1. Pandora has delivered a fantastic array of rocking tunes to start my day:
Audioslave: light my way
Soundgarden: mailman
Alice in Chains: It a’int that way
Stone Temple Pilots: Down
2. I’ve been amazingly productive at work.
3. Coffee.
I hope I don’t crash in exhaustion. Today’s got such potential.

Sweater Thursday
It’s early, and we’ve already had a great response of Sweaters for Sweater Thursday. I’m proud of you guys. What a fantastic group of fashionable sweatery folks we are.
Halloween
I’ve got a Halloween costume idea. I’m going to have to spend some time building it, but you can be certain that pictures will appear within the next few days. Irene is having a Halloween party on Saturday where the costume will make its debut. Get excited. It’ll be sweet.

Authored by: mike d.Hi everybody. Meet Jobonga.
She has an avid appreciation for sweaters and she and Whitney invented ‘Sweater Thursday’ awhile back. As you can see from the image above, Jobonga has thrown the gauntlet for yet another winter season. She encourages us to Commence Sweatering.
I still have a few photos from last year that I need to post of eager people wearing sweaters. If you’d like to participate, wear a flashy sweater tomorrow and then take a picture of yourself in said sweater. E-mail the picture over to me at:
MikeDiDonato AT gmail D0T com
and I will add your picture to the pile in the feature section tomorrow. Get stoked. It’s going to be sweatery.
