Happy Halloween-ish! It’s a spoooooooky time of year, so watch out for dead-end jobs and other scary puns!
Tomorrow 1PT.Rule turns one year old. I’d like to thank everyone who helps me keep this going by tuning in three (or so) times a week! My schedule is pretty tight at the moment, but I’ll try to have something cool up this week to celebrate!

Hey! I almost forgot! There is now a cheesy yet “frighteningly-accurate” What Kind of Designer Are You?-Facebook-quiz brought to you by 1PT.Rule! Get on over there and check it out –

I was lucky at this year’s AIGA Conference to come away with business cards of only people I like, which, honestly, is no small feat. It’s a good stack, and I don’t feel like there’s a whole lot of filler to it. Catching up on my correspondence since my return has proven difficult.
This shames me a little bit, as the very next day after my return I received a very nice e-mail from one of the main stage speakers who I talked to for… oh, about 30 seconds total, saying it was nice to see us and thanks for the encouragement. There’s a reason some of those people are up there, and a part of that reason is that they are awesome people (except for that lady at the end, but I’m not wasting space on her).
That said, just because I haven’t sent out a letter or facebook or twitter to you doesn’t mean I’m not trying desperately to do so. You’ll probably see them pile up in your inbox one after another with sent-dates of the same minute. Or so I can hope. –hugs–
Coming home from the AIGA Make/Think Conference I went from inspired, to excited, to confused, to excited again, and finally to apprehensive. When I got back to my desk I found the same messy stacks of paper, the same project folders needing to be filed, and what I though was a lot of e-mails until I read Armin Vit’s Twitter.
Sorry there was no Wednesday strip. The catch-up from being out for a few days coupled with the regular workload of finishing a children’s book (and a handful of other slow-burning projects) pushed my schedule unexpectedly. Also I didn’t really have a joke. I summed up my week this morning into this joyous little pill for you to swallow and I hope you enjoy it.
Whew! What a conference! Really, it’s hard to say on any level that Matke/Think wasn’t better than the Denver ’07 Conference, at least from my perspective. We’ll do either a full podcast recap or a Review Gone Bad of the experience this week, as well as post our Reflex Blue Show with Ann Willoughby recorded before the trip. So there’s lots to say, and alas, as I plow through this Monday morning I find I have not the time to say it. So I leave you with this sketch, done for Friday, which was roundly defeated by our server and the Conference Wi-Fi’s double-team of destruction. Home, and with a proper scanner, I feel better about the result anyway.

It’s been a busy busy two days, driving up here, sleeping in a strange town, driving up here some more, but here we are in Memphis at AIGA’s Make/Think Conference! Donovan and I take the main stage for 60-seconds in just a little bit, I am backstage right now while Kurt Anderson waxes philosophic about black holes. Insert you own joke here? Love him.
Sketched this after rehearsal. Much love — nv–
