A Cyclopto-bunny Strip for the ID’ers
Thanks to the far superior webcomic XKCD for the joke. Here’s a design twist on a classic coder comic.

Anyone here speak Asian?
OK, I know I said that my next post would be about design, but I’m on vacation here and so trying not to think too hard. Also, this was too good to pass up.
The following is from a job posting on the USAJobs.gov site (the clearinghouse website for all Federal jobs).
Look at selective factors number 1:
That’s right people! If you want this job you MUST speak read and write in FLUENT ASIAN!
And people say Federal workers are lazy - look at the demanding criteria they must meet just to get hired.

Summer’s End
Strange to call this the end of summer, by birthday not having even arrived yet, but it is in terms of my schedule. I only have two weeks left at Intuit after which I’ll move back to Pittsburgh (in a new a bigger apartment!), and then spend a few days in New York for the Adobe Design Achievement awards (ADAA), before having about a week to get my life together and start school. Yikes. I guess I haven’t mentioned the ADAA before: I don’t really like to toot my own horn to much, but it’s a big honor. My team from Basic Interaction with Shelley Evenson last fall has been picked as a finalist for our Flirtastic! project - so I’ll be headed to New York to attend the ceremony and find out if we won the grand prize (fingers crossed! fingers crossed!).
Work has been going well - I’ve gotten involved in a bit of a blogging competition, which is why I’ve rarely had the energy left to post on this, my own blog. We received an email from my boss’ boss a couple weeks ago saying that there were only a few weeks left of the first quarterly blog competition. The Experience Design team has an internal blog, you see, and they thought it would help encourage posting if the offered up an 8 gig iPod touch to the most prolific blogger. Well, that was a challenge (and potential reward) that I just couldn’t turn down, and so I have been desperately trying to catch up with and out-pace my boss in the blogging competition (I’m not there yet, but I’ve beengetting close). The down side, however, is that I never feel like posting on my own blog (and I’ve been so full of deep design insights 
I do have a few links that I’ve been meaning to put up though, so here they are:
Illustrator Jacob Charles Dietz does some of the coolest Sci-Fi art I’ve ever seen (if he could only stick to the buildings and machines and drop the cheesy big-breasted ladies his work would be downright spectacular).
And we no longer need to worry about people picking up when we only really wanted to leave a voicemail! Genius. And terribly terribly sad.
And some awesome design humor. What would happen if Microsoft redesigned the iPod packaging?
And finally, the following cartoon is just about my favorite thing in the world right now. It’s from The Rut, which has many more incredibly wonderful comics.
