Logo Thursday.
In my morning reading of all-things-interesting-on-the-internet, I came across the awesome new Fort Worth Museum logo. I had seen it last night, but in my cereal-induced-coma at 11pm, it didn't even register what it was. But I think it's one of the best logos I've seen in a long time:

Firekites - AUTUMN STORY - chalk animation from Lucinda Schreiber on Vimeo.
Apparently 1900 frames and 6 months later, Autumn Story now has this awesome video to go along with it. ...and a lot of chalk dust.

Random older customer: "Do you accept American Express?"
Me: "Yes, we do."
Random older customer, who is seeming crazier and crazier: "Do you have anything against mice?"
Thoughts running through my head: "Mice? In what context? In my house? In the wild? Can mice even *live* in the wild? Doesn't that make them rats?"
...all this translates as a blank stare. And I eventually manage to stammer, "Um, no?"
Exeunt Random older customer.
What? Yea. I don't know. When the weather gets warmer, all the crazy inhabitants of Allston feel the need to flock to Rite Aid. As long as they're harmless, it provides for some good stories, if nothing else.
ii.
Adobe pillows?! You. Freaking. Bet. MySuiteStuff now makes these, and I can't help but imagining the Adobe icons in my dock becoming pillows on my bed. And then I get kind of terrified. Ok, maybe they can exist on my couch. When I'm not having people over.
iii.
Uhh...save the best for last? Absolutely. Pentagram is releasing this awesome book, Manhatta, that paints a picture of what Manhattan was like 400 years ago. And what it's projected to look like in the future. It's so freaking cool. Maybe it's just because I'm obsessed with the History channel's new show, Life Without People, and The World Without Us, but it does look really interesting and well done. Surprised? Negative. :)

404?
After getting this on April Fool's Day, I thought it was some sort of weird thing Google was doing for April Fool's, besides the CADIE thing.
Turns out, it was just my internet being slow... :x
