“P&G’s Old Spice campaign is a textbook example of what the entire company should be doing. The problem is that the entire company isn’t doing it. Check out Mr. Clean’s Twitter stream, for instance. Oh, right—he doesn’t have one.”

Mugshot Monday - “All Day I Dream About Coffee” coffee mug with Snow Shoe Brew by Peace Coffee

Dig this coffee mug. Bought it at Seward Coop last year, but they no longer carry it! I know. But then I was able to get it special ordered at Bibelot, because they carry other items by Now Designs. Gave that one to my cousin for Christmas — she said she must have one after I posted a pic of it to Instagram. There is a boy version in blue, but it’s not as awesome.

Also, the painting in the background matches my shirt!

Interesting post on the Pinterest.com logo design process — the new logo was launched May 3, 2011. This was the paragraph written about the image above:

It was uniquely easy to get a good undersatnding of the Pinterest audience. The whole site is a giant dynamic moodboard for its users (if only every project could have that luxury!) We agreed that the previous logo was already a start in the right direction, and that keeping with a script logotype was appropriate. But there are an infinite number of voices a script can have.

That’s a solid collection of scriptishlu awesome logos. Michael Deal and Juan Carlos Pagan helped with the new logo. It’s a good read.

Great video, great track. Check “Help Doomtree Collaborator Become The Next Greyson Chance” via Secrets of the City. I don’t understand it exactly, but sounds like F. Stokes needs your help so he can play the song live on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Trying “Allies Win The War In Europe” ale by 21st Amendment Brewery for the first time. This is really good! It’s kind of sweet and mellow, and then it’s really strong. I had no idea what this beer was made of (the can doesn’t say), so I checked the website:

ALLIES WIN THE WAR! is 21st Amendment Brewery’s first ever collaboration beer, a traditional English-style Strong ale aged on native California dates and dry hopped with all-Northwest aroma hops. Available now in limited edition four-pack cans and draft.

Huh. That explains the sweetness, I guess! Date-Beer. Cool. It’s 8.5% yo, so don’t take this beer tubing down the Apple River.

I bought this beer as a single at Zipps Liquor, but I think they have the 4pks, too.

Mugshot Monday - “Kramarczuk’s 2011 Kielbasa Festival” mug with Fat Tire Amber Ale by New Belgium Brewing

I love Kramarczuk’s Deli for lunch. And right now you can buy this awesome mug (er…stein?) for $5! And it totally comes filled with beer. I chose Fat Tire to compliment my Hungarian Sausage sandwich. No free refills, however.

I did not attend the 2011 Kielbasa Festival, but it sounds like it was a lot of fun, according to some of the fine workers I talked to at the deli. Look out for the 2012 event to happen in September.
