Your Mid-Month, Friday the 13th, End of the Week Update

-It's done. In 7 Days, Mike and I will embark on our new adventures in the West Seattle area. In other words, we're moving. We'll be living on the bottom half of a house in the Gatewood neighborhood in West Seattle. We're quite excited slash apprehension of the new experiences. We will be about 20 mins away from downtown and mins away from stores, parks and beaches. I'm definately excited to embark on some new photographic adventures in the area, which will probably be more promising in the spring time. Anyways, we'll probably be all settled in within a couple weeks (after getting to unpack most of our stuff finally). Feel free to contact me for our new address so you can stop on by and such.

Noteworthy Links:
-Helvetica Vs. Arial. Being the true nerd I am, scored a 9/10. The Frutiger is with me.
-Printable Checklist. Find of the week: create your own 'to do' checklist, print out, voila! Genius.
-Toyota Venza. Ms. Sadie G sent this over to me this week, primarily for the fact that the closing scene shows the Glass Museum. Also noted is the Tacoma Convention Center at beginning. Just neat seeing those things when they're so close.
-25 Random Graphic Design Facts. In lue of the facebook lists, except this one is worth reading.
-Someone was kind enough to post the 27 page PDF of the presentation given to Pepsi regarding their new identity, which is pretty much 95% BS. Anyways, the only thing I really got out of it was, they did a lot of research for no reason at all, and decided to rebrand the already recognizable logo to look like emoticons. Come on Pepsi. If you have a little time, feel free to read through the comments as well, or you could get a shirt demonstrating how you feel about the new logo.
-The Action Figure Toy Museum in Paul's Valley featured in Wired magazine. Still a bit upset I never went down there.
-The new Tropicana boxes. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's definately clean and more presentable, but definately brings in the idea of being more "generic." Quite a toss up. The article sums it best: the Crate&Barrel orange juice.
-Check out some concept art for the Lost video game. Nicely done.
-Seattle Public Library. An extensive article covering the library in the heart of Seattle. I somehow haven't ventured inside yet. I love this building and will be taking my own visual adventures sometime soon.
