    New Graphic

    While hanging out in Dublin I made sure before I skipped town again that I’d drop by the new design studio of my former LCC classmates and see what’s percolating with the Irish trifecta of Diarmuid, Dave and Jamie.

    Queen of Tarts

    Dave did a bang-up job of getting me lost trying to find Jamie’s flat, in the rain no less, but at least I got to eat at Elephant & Castle’s to ease the pain of that debacle.

    Tube Booze Ban


    Recently elected mayor of London Boris Johnson will issue a ban on public drinking on the Tube and other TfL transport services starting today at midnight today, so last night a bunch of booze-savvy protesters took the opportunity to ride the tube intelligently inebriated one last time in which I participated and observed with my buddy Matt.
