Whoops! Windows Made A Boo Boo

Whoever says that any press is good press obviously doesn’t pay much attention to the technology age. This picture has been floating around this past weekend of an ad/headline board at a college sports game. Instead of scrolling scores, shout outs or ads, a Windows crash message was displayed.

The song that threw Alanis onto the musical map to sell 40 million of ‘Jagged Little Pill’ made its way back to relevance from 1995 to 2009. I was glad that there’s still some Alanis love around!

Last week an old college friend sent me a link to a Time Magazine Article she felt I would particularly be interested in. She was 100% correct. I am heavily interested in corporate branding, and I have a clear geek powered love of fonts.While I got my 2010 Ikea Catalog, I hadn’t even had a chance to open it up, but I ran quickly to grab it as soon as I finished the article. +Continue Reading
