In my daily reads, I came by a very cool article that actually hit home in a funny way. Its based on breaking and starting new habits as a designer. Working 16+ hr days, I think that I could try to follow some of these for the better.
1. Keep your workspace clean
2. Get some exercise
3. Live beyond your workspace
4. Don’t be scared of the dark side, take more risks
5. Work on stuff outside your comfort zone
6. Read more
7. Make time for personal design projects
8. Network and connect with people
9. Get some business cards made
10. Work smarter
11. Use the internet to make your life easier, not harder
12. Work with more clients you actually like

Scientists say a blue moon is exactly what we’ll see in the skies this New Year’s Eve.
Don’t expect an azure glow over our lunar satellite, however. The term “blue moon” simply refers to the second full moon in a calendar month, something that hasn’t happened on a New Year’s Eve for nearly 20 years, NASA says.
“December 1990 ended with a blue moon, and many New Year’s Eve parties were themed by the event,” said Professor Philip Hiscock of the department of folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland, in Canada. “It was a lot of fun.”
Most months have just one full moon, because the 29.5-day cycle of the moon matches up pretty well with the length of calendar months. Occasionally, there will be two full moons in a month, something that happens about every 2½ years, NASA says.
But a blue moon on December 31 is rare.

Google appearance changed today. Just noticed Google’s new look this morning and I kinda dig it. They are using a new and cleaner looking logo with some attractive bright blue submit buttons. Everything looks brighter and much more cheery for sure.
The search results even look much better with some custom icons and column on the left. All these options have existed before, but its just more user friendly having it right up in the user’s face like that.

And I’m gonna look him straight in the eye, and I’m gonna tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, four-flushing, lowlife, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spiny-necked, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol!
Looking for cheaper insurance and came by a decent site that provides Auto Insurance, Health Insurance, Business Insurance and much more.
Insurance is a fact of everyday life. If you want to own a car, a home, or a business, or simply want to protect your family’s health, you have to deal with insurance. It often seems like an overwhelming and confusing process, as well as an expensive one, but it doesn’t have to be. This site provides you not only with the ability to compare quotes, but also with the information you need to make the process easier.

Was thinking of a cool watch for Christmas. Mainly because I haven’t had a watch in many years and these tag heuer watches are pretty nice looking.
Tag Heuer has remained the unchallenged authority on watch development for the last century and a half. It has been the official timepiece for Le Mans in Monaco and F1 racing internationally since Steve McQueen wore his watch to victory in 1969. Simple classic lines, horological complications that baffle the imagination, commitment to absolute perfection are the tenants that Tag Heuer Watch Company is founded upon. It is no coincidence that the most successful people in the last century have had Tag Heuer watches dedicated to their accomplishments. From Tiger Woods to Maria Sharapova, from Sbastien Bourdais to Lewis Hamilton all are the faces of Tag Heuer. Get the best, be your best, wear a Tag doing it!
