“Won’t you join me on the perennial quest
Reaching into the dark, retrieving light
Search for answers on the perennial quest
Where dreams are followed, and time is a test.” - Chuck Shuldiner (1967-2001) – Read on Path.

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

Murphy’s graphic design laws

Your fonts will default.
If you have two versions of a photo, you will send the wrong one to the printer.
Promises made by the salesperson never make it to the pressroom.
The salesperson will promise anything.
If the text consists of two words, one will be misspelled.
Speed. Quality. Affordability.Â Pick two.
If the run is wrong, it’s never the press operator’s fault.
Spell checkers don’t.
Grammar checkers don’t, either.
Global search-and-replaces aren’t.
The index entry you leave out will be the first one the client looks under.
Optical Character Recognition is good comedy.
If three designs are shown to a client, your least favorite will be chosen.
If two designs are shown, a third will be requested.Â If provided, then one of the first two will be chosen.
Blueline proofs reveal previously invisible errors.
The best designs never survive contact with the client.
You will misspell the name of the client’s spouse.
Your best idea is already copyrighted.
Creative inspiration flows in inverse proportion to the distance from the studio.
Doctors, astronauts, and plumbers need training to do their jobs, but anyone with a copy of Publisher is a graphic designer
No matter how detailed the tech support FAQ is, nobody has ever heard of your problem
The number of colors in a client’s design will equal the number of colors in the original bid specs, plus two
The client’s disk won’t run on your equipment
If you purchase new equipment to read your client’s disk, it will be the last disk of that type you will ever receive
Your client won’t “get it.”
All the laws above were sent by Jay
A single picture tells more than a thousand words. Any technical picture has more than thousand bugs
A single picture has more bugs than be described with thousand words
The last two laws were sent by Janne Siren

Ants and human as team players

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:53:41 -0500

“Ants are nature’s best team players. Not only do they work tirelessly for their colony, they do so for little to no reward. The ones that work the hardest do so for the good of the colony, and the ones that get to have fun and reproduce don’t do much work at all.” from @OMGfacts. This sounds like human in some sense.
