Well, not really.
But Wired Magazine noticed that the government agency revealed a new slogan back in August. The new tagline? (Get ready.) “NASA explores for answers that power our future.” Which isn’t any better than what they changed it from (“Explore, Discover, Understand.”).
Wheeeeeee.
So the boys and girls at Wired think that they American public [...]

Today, I am eating leftovers for lunch. Not even my leftovers. Leftovers from yesterday’s account manager lunch and learn. And it’s funny the odd parallels you draw from lukewarm ziti. I sit here at my computer, munching in between sentences and feeling pretty unfulfilled - perhaps because it’s not the original [...]

Our own Young Gun, Joe, pointed me to this site yesterday.
Apparently this Kansas University student isn’t too happy with the font change on the college basketball and football uniforms. In fact, he’s set out on a quest of “Preserving a typographic tradition.”

We do get our fair share of PR folks contacting us to “review this book” or “take a [...]

UPDATE:
I love you, too. Thanks for the $100.

I’m not mad. I was - for a bit - yesterday. But I’m over it.
Yeah, I waited in line and was one of the first to get his hands on the shiny new iPhone just ten weeks ago. I even paid $600 for an 8GB. Someone asked [...]

Alright, I know Taco Bell is not, by any means, the bastion of great service or anything, but I just have to take a little time to vent about a lousy customer service experience.
