You are now entering the time zone
If you make the short journey from Tonga to Samoa, you arrive at Samoa before you had left Tonga. Time is complicated. Good thing we have the BBC. (Flash Required)

Perfect Limitations
Constraints are often better and more interesting than unlimited resources. We see this all the time in our design process. Things that start off as restrictions end up defining projects and becoming the basis for ideas we never would have had otherwise.

Our hearts go out to Japan.
Our hearts go out to all of the people in Japan. James White made this poster to inspire people to Help Japan, after the devastating earthquake and subsequent massive tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, 2011.

Canoeing in Everglades National Park
Ahhh, what a beautiful view. Our camping trip in Everglades National Park was phenomenal. I had never been canoe camping, navigated with a nautical map, or even to the Everglades.

What I didn’t fully appreciate until I saw the following video is that the CGI is just as perfectly seamless as everything else. Brainstorm Digital knows their stuff: And as … Continued
