Spudart’s post about the Chicago Cubs’ old jerseys made me curious about the history of their uniforms. I did a little google action on, “cubs uniforms throughout history” and came across this incredible ESPN article by Paul Lukas published just last week. If you’re fan of the Cubs, baseball, design or nostalgia, then you absolutely […]
If I was paid $1 for every blog post on this site, I could theoretically cash it all in and get a big ‘ol one thousand dollar bill. That’s right. The unlikely moose blog hit the big 1-o-o-o. (Yesterday’s post was #1000.) I’m rather disappointed by the back of the 1000 dollar bill. If you’re […]
Take your initials and try to make a word or group of words out of them. My initials are EJM which is e-gym. I like the idea of a digital or virtual gym. Here’s a couple others that are interesting: OKM (my daughter): okay, mmmmmmm (I picture getting a chocolate chip cookie and eating it)KLM […]

I just finished off my daughter’s whole milk. I’m accustomed to skim milk (or “fat free” milk as they call it nowadays). Whole milk tastes like liquefied cake.
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of design for a national bank. Their design approach is clean and open. I enjoy their color palette (PMS 382 and 369) and font family (Trade Gothic). Though a lot of the work has been retirement mailings. Looking up photos of rich seniors on sail boats gets on my […]
I just discovered that I like frozen cake. I’m talking about regular ol’ cake, not ice cream cake. Though I do love ice cream cake. I really like the texture of the frosting when it gets frozen.
See how the number “3” is different in the photos? Someone is running a scam on ebay. As a general rule of thumb, never buy autographs on ebay. Sellers can be especially tricky.
