		<description><![CDATA[I designed and illustrated this brochure last year, and was fairly pleased with it&#8230; We are reprinting it today, and now I am wondering&#8230; what kind of crop is that anyway? Are those miniature orange trees? Tomato trees? Giant blueberries? Some kind of cartoon-fruit!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Packaging really does influence what we think about a particular product. Not just regarding the information it contains, but it sets the tone for how we feel about what we are going to end up with. When I first saw this truck at a downtown Newberg gas station, I laughed! Putting a mural of Mount [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We got a letter from our credit union in November saying, &#8220;A laptop computer was stolen that may have contained member account data&#8230;&#8221; Huh? Why is sensitive customer data even being put on laptops &#8212; which can easily be stolen or misplaced? Two months earlier, in September, we got a letter from our mortgage company [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people, when they put things on their car, are pretty consistent. They either have religious things, or political messages (to the left or the right), and sometimes even offensive words and things. Some folks want nothing at all applied to their vehicle.  You can kind of get a hint about what is important to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is not a new drawing, but I thought you might enjoy seeing it. I&#8217;ve even forgotten what specific situation prompted it, but I do know it had something to do with my job! Don&#8217;t worry, in my scenario the mouse DOES make it to the hole in the wall. Notice a couple of those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing the thoughts generated by my last post&#8230; this particular logo has always bothered me because it violates a basic principle of &#8220;Gestalt&#8221; design theory. This theory basically says that all properties of a design should work toward a result that is organized, simplified, unified, and understood by the viewer. In essence, the sum should [...]]]></description>

Their stories were way different from mine, but their perspectives on what is important in life were so refreshing! It reminded me that God does not abandon us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The anonymous DundeeParkingLot people are being counter-productive. This week the back-up from Newberg to Dundee has been bad as usual, but I observed several times already that the slowness is partly a result of those dumb &#8220;DROP DEAD&#8221; signs that the DPL people have put up. You see, there seems to be a spat going [...]]]></description>
