Is Santa a dunker?

My milk and cookie holiday shopping bags for Graphic Design I class, taught by Anne Fink. Santa would have a hard time dunking this cookie into the milk. Sorry, big guy.

Much Teuxdeux!

Was just watching a live stream of Tina Roth-Eisenberg‘s talk at Parsons as part of their AAS Graphic Design Networked Design Talk Series. She talked about her journey to where she is now. What struck me most is when she said that the best part about blogs is how personal they are. When they start to get successful and begin to add an editorial staff, she says they lose the personal touch that made them so special to begin with.

BUT my favorite part was when she mentioned Teuxdeux, which is an online app for keeping track of what you need to do.

teuxdeux

It immediately reminded me of my teacher from last year, Lara McCormick, who had three sections labeled in her desktop background, which I think were yesterday, today, and this week or something of the sort. She would keep folders on her desktop in these spots to help her organize what she had to do, which I thought was such a brilliant idea. Of course, that’s a more physical way of organizing things, while Teuxdeux is basically an online to do list, because we all know we just lose the paper version anyway.

The password to sign up for Teuxdeux is our favorite Italian chocolate hazelnut spread.

-side note: Something went funky with my site over the weekend i.e. a monster ate my image and music files off the server (or something), but all is well now, so hurrah-

do what you love
