In addition to the font I posted about a few days ago, the Dutch government has also commissioned a commemorative 5 euro coin.

I have been trying to break my addiction to Diet Coke, so I have been auditioning different caffeine substitutes. Today, I found the answer.

The Dutch government commissioned an official font and logo via a design competition. You can see the winning entry by Peter Verheul over at designworkplan. I wonder if, now that we have a design savvy President we can expect to see something similar within the mish-mash of US Government websites and publications?
This song has been in my head all week, and I finally went to YouTube to watch the video. It’s just like an Avengers episode! So cute.
Two of my very favorite people have their birthdays today, so I thought that we would have two daily videos reflecting their very eclectic tastes. The first one is for you mom! It’s the only Bryan Adams video we’ll ever agree on!
And for Katie, some Kids in the Hall! Happy Birthday!
