			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quote Of The Day: Drake says he won&#8217;t be rapping for too long <a href="http://t.co/Or8VIemI" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://t.co/Or8VIemI</a></p>
<p>This is the same idiocy Mic Jagger had when he said he would rather be dead than singing Satisfaction at 45. Or Eminem, who is now around 40, when he said that Moby (at 36) was &#8220;too old.&#8221; It shouldn&#8217;t be that hard to understand that when you get older, you don&#8217;t become a different person. You&#8217;re the same person, and you feel yourself the same. If Drake thinks he will have nothing to say or express at 35, he&#8217;s really too foolish to be participating in a creative field.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m tired of recommending to clients that they (finally) stop using Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail and switch to Gmail (&#8220;Don&#8217;t worry,&#8221; you say, &#8220;Gmail can run your work email too!&#8221;), only to have to follow with this excruciating instruction set:</p>
<p>Email sent to the work address is collected by Gmail using POP, so sometimes it might take 30 minutes or so for it to show up. If it needs to be checked immediately:</p>
<p>1) Click the gear icon on top right of inbox, choose Settings<br />
2) Choose the Accounts and Import tab<br />
3) On that page, under &#8220;Check mail from other accounts&#8221; find you@yourworkemail.com and click &#8220;Check mail now&#8221; beside it.<br />
4) Click &#8220;Inbox&#8221; on the left side of the screen <strong>2 times </strong>(at this point they think you&#8217;re just screwing around with them) and new mail will appear.</p>
<p>Would it be too much to add a <em>Check POP Accounts</em> link under the <em>Inbox</em> link?</p>
<p>For four years now I have not mentioned this in a blog entry, always assuming that they would surely add it soon, that it must have just been overlooked. But no, they&#8217;re serious. They want you to go into your Settings to quickly fetch mail from your work account.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And it ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, then to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.<br />

<p>I don&#8217;t speak French, but I can design in it? A type excerpt from a poster I made a couple years ago. This was made for printing, so the distress on the lettering looks a lot better on the printed piece than shown digitally, where it seems too digital.</p>

I made this a few years ago for the Community &#038; Conflict project, a digital archiving effort that seeks to collect bits of history from around the region, most of it relating to the Civil War. I wanted to show the local landscape, but with a bit of a sinister feel.</p>
<p>The project has gone on to win a Missouri Humanities Council award (in literature), and has become a model for other museums, libraries and organizations seeking to get their historical collections up to date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The people are crowded into the sports bar by my office for a game between two random Universities that I can&#8217;t imagine have any impact here. I can&#8217;t understand how people could watch basketball all month long: Not because there&#8217;s anything wrong with basketball, it&#8217;s just a sport like any other. But the amount of time many spend in front of the television would wear me out. Watching one football game a week during football season already makes me feel like I&#8217;ve wasted half a day. Ha.</p>
