Coffee Warms Heart

While waiting in line for a coffee at Robin’s Donuts this morning, I heard one of the employees say to another, “What does the guy with the broken foot take?” I wasn’t sure I had heard this right, but she asked again.

It turns out that a regular customer had broken his foot and wasn’t able to get out of his car and into the shop. They told him he can just pull up outside in his car and they run his coffee out to him.

Heart = warmed (and yes, I sometimes get coffee at Robin’s).

 

9 of 13 of us at our annual silverorange retreat had digital SLR cameras this year. I was not one of them.

 

The new Sloan video for Witch’s Wand is a good one and happens to be my favourite song on the album as well.

 

Shepard Fairey: From Mozilla to Obama

Artist Shepard Fairey has recently become widely known for his iconic Obama posters (featured on the cover of Time magazine). It is much less widely known that he created another iconic image from the tech world.

Sometime in 1998, Shepard Fairey created the lizard artwork that became the logo and mascot for the Mozilla project. Even today, this lizard is still used in the logo for the Mozilla Foundation.

The video for Life in Technicolor by Coldplay is awesome.
