Cutso-wear!

Every year my office, Cutsogeorge Tooman & Allen Architects, has a Holiday party. During which people dance, eat, and have fun, but the principles also say a little speech about each of the employees and give out Cutso-wear. In the past we have gotten tote bags, vests, hoodies, jackets, hats all with a little saying / motto. This year we received personalized insulated coffee mugs and a bag of coffee, and to me this was the best Cutso-wear yet. I say this not because I like coffee, I actually do not drink the stuff, but because of the graphical representation and execution of the project. Each of the three principles is depicted on the mug and coffee bag looking like Juan Valdez. The bag is layed out like a title block on our drawings.

I am very happy to work at a firm that does this kind of thing for their employees. It is not something they have to do but want to do to show us their appreciation.

1984 Anyone?

I cam across this website called huesforalice.com and saw this really cool video.

Basically it comments on the many tactics that the government uses to ”keep us safe” but does so in a clever way. Now I would for sure be all for “being safe” but those who are suppose to be keeping us safe are just as dirty and underhanded as the people who we are being kept safe from. I mean, all this scanning and protection and watching shit just does not work because the honest people are being watched as well as the dishonest and the dishonest are the ones watching, WTF!

Then again if you don’t watch everyone how do you know who are the “good” and the “bad”? Take a look at the video even if you are okay with being watched.
