Pepsi design fail? Coke design win?

I found this and got a laugh out of it.


Maybe it's just my graphic design side coming out but I think it's humorous that Pepsi keeps trying to reinvent their logo so much while Coca-Cola never has. I will give Pepsi credit to their most recent logo update however because it is pretty darn sleek. Also, if you never noticed, the white ribbon on the new Pepsi logo actually comes in different sizes depending on the product it is placed on (regular on Pepsi, thin on Diet Pepsi, and bold on Pepsi Max). Creative!

Where are you Robert?

I haven't blogged in a bit thanks to recent events and personal happenings that I would rather not share via the Internet, at least not for now. Let's just keep it simple and say I have a ton to do and a ton to figure out within the next month before leaving for England. Until then I will be trying to accumulate as much money as possible from work. This also means I will most likely be blogging a lot less for the next few weeks as I try to keep my priorities straight. I don't expect to give it up for good since it is a good release/time waster/outlet to keep my mind off things bothering me. Also, if things go as planned I will be launching my next blog shortly before leaving the U.S. and it will be dedicated solely to my experiences abroad. Thanks gang, and if you have nobody else to pray for, pray for me :)

'BOU FIX

I have come to the realization that Caribou Coffee causes a drug-like reaction in my body. I have always been a fan, more so during the summer because their line of "Coolers" make for the perfect summer drink. Yesterday before work I bought a medium caramel cooler and I must say, it really made my work day more bearable. I have been extremely sick of work lately because I have been getting scheduled 6 days a week working 3pm-9pm shifts whereas I normally work 5 days a week with 1pm-9pm shifts. One day off per week is a drag but yesterday I was definitely bringing my "A game". I pounded out at least 30+ projects in the time I was there and gave my supervisor next to no chance to micromanage me as he usual does. I was in a good mood, energized, and time went by fast. I blame you Mr./Mrs. Caribou cooler.

Makes me wish they were more like 3 bucks or something rather than $4.60. I would definitely buy them all the time if it meant better, more enjoyable work days. I have a hard time believing this is all just a result of caffeine intake because I have never really been affected much by it over the year. Rather, I think it is a combo of the delicious taste, whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and icy texture that makes it so uplifting on a summer day when you would much rather be doing something else other than stocking fruit and vegetables at Cub Foods for 6-8 hours. Oh and yes, I am drinking another one as I write this... it went perfect with a short cruise on the outskirts of town in this weather!

More Ed Hardy filth

I was reading my fave French blog which mostly caters to English speakers with a few exceptions and I found this alarming post from Busy P, the main man behind Ed Banger Records. Read the last few lines in English if you fail at French. Courtesy of

Ed Hardos!

Paris, le 2 juillet 2009 à 22h45
L’homme d’affaires et styliste français Christian Audigier annonce qu’il va acquérir la dernière demeure de Michael Jackson à Los Angeles, dans le quartier de Holmby Hills.
Cette propriété appartient actuellement au CEO de Christian Audigier, Monsieur Hubert Guez, et était louée par Michael Jackson depuis quelques mois et pour les 6 prochains.
A l’échéance de cette location, Christian Audigier achètera cette propriété dans le but de garder intacts “les moments précieux qu’il y a partagé avec Michael Jackson”.
Par ailleurs, Christian Audigier, ami de Michael Jackson, souhaite racheter ce bien en souvenir du “King of Pop” afin d’en faire un lieu dédié à la mémoire de la star.

For our english friends, to make it short. The guy who is responsible for the horrible Ed Hardy trend got enough money to buy Michael Jackson’s house.

Of all the people who could claim MJ's house as their own, why does it have to be Christian Audigier?

An update on 'brain picking'

I wrote a post awhile back about how I have wanted to get a tattoo on the inside of my arm but am debating it because I don't know if it is meaningful enough, etc. Read the post here if you have not yet. Today I was reading one of my favorite blogs called The Hipster Runoff. This blog pokes fun at the "hipster" culture, something that goes hand in hand with most of the music I like. All of the posts on HRO satire something one way or another and take some pretty funny stands on the topics at hand. You kind of need to be up on the "culture" to begin with or else most of the terminology and sarcasm will go way over your head but I found a pretty funny post today that goes well with my previous tattoo posting. Check it out here after reading mine. It made me laugh, it might do the same for you.
