All Moved In…

Posted in A Clue 4 U on July 3rd, 2008 by Chad

The move is complete and the Savage Clan are settling into our new house near South Bend, Indiana (90 miles east of Chicago, home of Notre Dame University). I know I owe a lot of people calls and emails, and I’m working on that - everybody’s patience is greatly appreciated. I’m typing this in my spacious new office, surrounded by boxes. Stay tuned…

VectorMagic.com

I can’t remember where I read about it, but I just tried out http://www.vectormagic.com for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. A client sent a not-so-great, not-very-high-resolution JPG image that they wanted me to use. I ran it through the Vector Magic site and got an astonishingly clean, scalable piece of EPS art to use. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, this post isn’t for you; if you do, you recognize the value and the recommendation.

Bad Marketing Ideas

Posted in Shits 'n' Giggles on June 5th, 2008 by Chad

Just saw an ad that Monday’s American Gladiators will have a big Incredible Hulk crossover. This will not make American Gladiators more credible or manly; this can only make Incredible Hulk more gay.

The Magic of Pee Wee

Posted in Loved It on June 4th, 2008 by Chad

When fate conspires to keep you up all night working to the extent that your 5-year-old greets you in the early morning with sleepy eyes, and you have the opportunity to get her a bowl of Trix and introduce her to your 22-year-old VHS copy of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, I suggest you sit with her that extra few minutes (instead of going to bed) and watch the Breakfast Machine Scene, making the appropriate OOO and AAH sounds. You won’t regret it, and neither will she.
