Funny Barf Blog

Yes this actually does relate to work, which if you’ve hit this blog for the first time, is related to Ann Arbor web design. Part of what we do is logo design. I’ve just found a new blog called “Your Logo Makes Me Barf.” You’ll find real (bad) logos there and they are as promised wretch-ed. Pardon the pun. From bad colors to bad fonts to bad art, this site has it all. The writing is terrific, including the labels. Here are some examples: barf bag, clipart chaos, thou shalt not design logos, your logo makes me scared, and my very favorite-frankly my dear, you’d be better off as a tattoo.

Good Advice from a Friend

My friend and her husband just got back from an awesome vacation. They couldn’t wait to tell me and my husband all about it. They told me they went to a spa resort Costa Rica. They had the best time of their lives. It was relaxing and exciting all at the same time. They insisted that I book the same vacation with my husband. They told me I wouldn’t regret it. Guess what? They were right, we had the best time! The pampering and the majestic views had me hooked. I am going to recommend this vacation to all of my friends.

A Simple Game that Challenges Your Knowledge of the English Language

The online game known as Word Whomp helps people test their knowledge of words.  In this game you have a certain number of mixed up letters and you have to create as many words as possible from those letters.  The longer the word, the more points you get, but the word must be an actual word and fit into the scoreboards in the background of the game.  There is a time limit while creating the words, so a person needs to be quick about it.  The game also has many levels, so a person can stay challenged and entertained for hours if needed.
