I thought I’d share one of my favorite parts of my favorite art and design blogs with you today. Colossal is a well-curated art and design blog from the mind of Christopher Jobson in Chicago. The blog is a continual wealth of visual inspiration, but one of my favorite parts is the recurring Flickr Finds that culls the best recent …
20|20 Employee Publishes Book: Not The Stars But The Distance
I read the first chapter of this book out of support for it’s author since he sits in the office next to mine. I devoured the remaining chapters because I was truly entranced. I began reading it while eating my taco dinner at a nearby restaurant and I can’t help but wonder what my fellow patrons must of thought of …

One Good Video
Your grandfather had one blade—and Polio! Our grandparents’ generation had lot’s of viral things to watch out for but unfortunately none of it was internet marketing.

Social Seating: Using Facebook For Real Life Connections
A common criticism of Facebook and other social media platforms is that the interaction is impersonal. For example, the New York Times recently wondered if high school reunions were even necessary anymore? Everyone knows what’s going on with each other. There’s no incentive to meet physically. Businesses are running into the same dilemma. For businesses, every social media ROI article encourages …
The Curious Power of the Mind
It is a personal passion of mine to understand how we take in information and what we choose to do with it…how our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality. This short video is mind-blowingly simple in demonstrating the point. Enjoy! Lynne
2012 Pantone Color of the Year
As the new fresh air of a new year washes over us this January, we look toward what this fresh start has to offer. Economic recovery? Political unity? Possible apocalypse?
