Don’t quit. Everything will be better, because you can make it better. MAKE IT BETTER from Clim on Vimeo. I found this video on DesignPorn and just thought it was the bees knees. I have a soft spot in my heart for typography.
Jealous!
So I’ve been plucking away at my ukulele trying to learn this song, when I stumbled across this kid playing it approximately 1000000x better than me. Not fair! On the bright side my new ukulele should be arriving soon. New ukuele? you ask, But didn’t you just get a new ukulele? Why yes I did…
5: The bad
It kind of seems trite to me to talk about ‘the bad’ during my college experience when, overall, I had a very lovely time. But I said I would do it, so I might as well. It’ll be short. 01 | Having to go to school when it was -40F outside. That is cold! Some…
Design: In all the right places

Mast Brothers Chocolate video
Igor sent me this video a few days ago and I thought it was really well done. While it’s not explicitly design, it kind of is because the filming is beautiful and so is the chocolate packaging. I hope you enjoy! Mast Brothers Chocolate from Brennan Stasiewicz on Vimeo.

5: Things outside my comfort zone
I’m going to post-pone “The Bad” for a week because I’m not in the mode for complaining. I’m in the mood for optimism, new opportunities, and taking a chance! Since I’ve graduated (approximately 3 weeks ago…) I’ve been thinking a lot about the things I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time for.…
It’s not “goodbye”
….it’s “until we meet again.” So all last week I was actually in Laramie and had scheduled those posts in advance. I’m tricky like that. But before I talk about that, first: your Monday movie, which I didn’t get to post because I was on the road yesterday. By the way, the drive was the…
5: The good
Am I talking about graduating too much? It’s kind of a big deal and it’s just starting the settle in. For example, the other day I was going to save this file for a random project I wanted to do, but when I look for a place in my documents I realized that I my…
Neat things: it’s been a while
01 | My favorite This American Life episode, “Origin Stories.” So good. It’s about…you know the origins of different stories. My favorite is Act One, about Julian Koenig, a copywriter and how his ideas were stolen for him. [57:27] [Source] 02 | My love of containers cannot be contained. I found this on a procrastination…
