I'd like to think that one of Apple's biggest announcements recently is one of the smallest, most overlooked ones. I'm loving that they just came out with a well-thought-out AA battery charging system. Not that I need a new one. But Apple has a way of making rabid fanboys out of even the simplest things. If they can successfully make rechargeable batteries seem cool to the tech set - like they do with almost everything they touch - it could be one of the best things they have ever done for the environment.

Since designing "green" is all the rage, we just launched our greenest web site yet for Legolas Media. It includes kelly, hunter, lime and mint. Not to mention our favorite: chartreuse.

We've been doing a lot of work lately gearing up for the New Aging Conference at UPenn in October (including the web site and this brochure). But I really love what the UPenn students did with these makeover videos: Aging 60 years in 60 seconds.

I was Googling myself recently. While I failed to find a copywriter looking for work, what I did uncover is even better. Apparently an Annual Report we did was included in the 2005 Graphis Annual Reports book (anyone have a copy?). It's always nice to find prestigious international awards that you didn't even know you had won! Also, related, the swatchbook set we did for MyBlinds and DMD Insight recently won an American Package Design Award.
