Doggy Doo and Puppy Pee On Your Doorstep
Is there anything worse than walking along a public city sidewalk and stepping in doggy doo or slipping on puppy pee? Why are so many dog owners irresponsible in taking care of their pets?
Yellow Lives in Common Crevices
I was on the phone the other day with a designer I hired to work on a project.
When you talk on the phone — words become even more vital in trying to pin down an abstract image.
We were working to find the right “feel” for yellow on the page — that’s a hard thing to do because light yellow doesn’t “read” on a page and dark yellow quickly becomes orange.
ME: We need a different yellow.
DESIGNER: Like a morning pee yellow?
ME: That’s too dark.
DESIGNER: Like a kidney infection pee yellow?
ME: Too cloudy.
DESIGNER: So a lighter tainting of blood in the urine?
ME: Let’s try that.
Our similar, shared, experiences give meaning and context to abstract ideas.
Language lives in common crevices.
Describing the crevice reveals how a person relates to the world.
Why I am Not Yellow
I have no interest in wearing one of those yellow “LiveStrong” wristbands that everyone seems to have on today. I support the idea behind the band but what is the point of wearing the wristband? Is it to publicly prove you’re caring and with the “in-crowd” or is there a deeper meaning to it? If there’s magic in the band itself why not just put it in your pocket?
