That video almost made me uncomfortable. Thank goodness we evolve socially, even if it is at a slow and almost unnoticable pace.

Quiet day today in the office, and I've been doing little things all day. My new friend Shawn "Neo, The Coder" Dalebor was nice enough to help me drop my bike off at the dealer for it's 24k mile service. This is the big one where they check valves and seals, and ready the bike for the next 40k kilometers or so. I still can't believe that thing is the machine that it is. I am constantly grateful for the lifestyle it affords, and feel I have the two best vehicles for life in Colorado: a BMW motorcycle and a Toyota 4x4 truck. I'm thankful The Sickness and The Darkness have yet to let me down...

I felt at peace with my creativity and pace today. Even though it was low, just being here and maintaining without running around was nice. I briefly talked on the phone with Marni Banker at OgilvyAction today and sent her the jpeg's she needed for her presentation. Very nice. Microsoft Outlook's awesome software seemed to have swapped the jpeg's filenames to all be indentical (all 7), which seems very sweet and efficient to me. Didn't understand what happened really, so I just resent them and the entire cris-ees was averted.

I've been trying to make headway with a re-design of a liquor brand's label we've been working with, but it just makes me thirsty... Chrispy's very thirsty.

I have also recently gotten an iPhone and am now part of the statistic. Though everyone seems to know about this product and how popular Apple is (unless you've been in a cave for the past decade), I wonder how many are honestly aware of the power and technology they hold in their hand. It's a sleek toy for some at the surface level, but at deeper glance it's a seemingly endlessly capable connectivity and emotional device. I can call my family and girlfriend, save waypoints on a ride in the mountains, listen to Goose with my own headphones, and transfer money to my accounts while viewing a friends pictures online; all from the palm of my hand for less than some digital cameras. Technology is obviously cheaper and smaller, but not always better. This device IS better, it truly is. Capitalism's good for us all, but Man I tell ya, I bet designing for the competition against this thing in the market has got to be an excercise in futility. Design is king, and no one's close to this one of Apple's thrones. No one.

Anyway, internet... in closing:

• I still love my job and look forward to coninuing on with my fellow co-workers
• I have not finished The Darkness Transformer project
• I'm thirsty
• Ready to leave but looking forward to Monday
• The iPhone's changed me forever, just like my iPod & BSG
• I miss my girlfriend and she's only been gone for 24 hours

See you next time...
