Water, Water...Not Everywear

Did you know an average american uses 150 gallons of water a day, while citizens in developing countries can barely find 5?  I just learned that fact and a whol;e bunch of shocking others on a very cool new site, it's called charity: water and it's all for the good of the people. But I like it too because it's really well designed and has stunning (literally) National Geographic style photography, and the stories to match.  Read the stories, feel the facts and then you might find it impossible not to donate. And if not, at least remember to turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.

I Heart Color

I often find myself trying to compose fresh color palettes for clients and surprisingly, it's one of the harder things to do.  You'd think after years of PMS books and color theory classes, it'd be second nature for me. Even choosing a color scheme to paint my bathroom recently took me hours. But, now that I've come across Colour Lovers (yea, it musta been created by some Brits) I've gotten loads of inspiration not only for design, but for my home and style.

The first days of change - where do you even start?

I'm wondering how overwhelmed Obama is right now with the laundry list of headaches left by the Bush administration. I have to design a proposal package and a website tomorrow before partaking in beer friday. He has to figure out how to erase our National Debt and make World Peace. It makes me feel lucky that I work at Promar and not on capitol hill. And at least I have a solid starting point for tomorrow. Good luck Ob's. More power to you. Oh and btw, 44 is my lucky number...maybe this will all turn out ok.
