Mutiny on the Bounty


Today is the 219th anniversary of the Bounty mutiny. I am celebrating Bligh's incredible navigational skills and his success in reaching landfall after a journey in an open boat of over 3,000 miles. I don't have much to say about the mutineers. Most of them met a sorry end.

You can tell where my sympathies lie.

World Graphics Day



April 27 was World Graphics Day. It is the anniversary of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations. I missed it, but in reading about the events, I was most amused by the "No Graphics" day event. Imagine a world with no graphic design - especially a supermarket with no graphics to illustrate the packaged food. Boring. Go thank a designer.
