Design is making fun of things lining up, and fonts
posted 1 year, 9 months ago // 26 comments // comments are closed
Thanks to Jon, Shaun and Scott, I was forced (believe me, I had no choice in the matter) to sarcastically tweak their desktop images. It wasn’t a job I enjoyed, I promise you, but this is the kind of dirty work someone has to do, and today that responsibility fell to me (and that’s the fault of Jina, for telling me about your posts to begin with).
hmmmmm… and I wonder who led you to this distraction, eh?
Oh shit! Its become a meme, which means 37signals will be whupping my ass very soon!
Jina. Helping Dan procrastinate one meme at a time.
Really Jon, you should have seen this coming — you must practice safe meme’ing or else contract a 37STD (37signals-transmitted-disapproval).
Now what do I do? I only have two monitors! To the iBook! Wait Leslie has two too! (Puts on sneaking cap…)
Make you meme make money!
Somebody needs to get these bad boys on threadless.com :)
Damn ‘r’s… ‘you’ = ‘your’. First my laptop thought it was a pirate (loved sticking ‘r’s everywhere), these days it seems somewhat eluctant.
Shaun - rotating desktops! Even one screen works.
Dan - Comic Sans!! You’re breaking my heart, man. Still funny though. I’ll save that one for my mom.
@Scott: Satire is a difficult business. Sometimes one must employ underhanded methods…

Too much fun to resist :D
Late to the party again? Crap.
This is what I get for not having a feed reader.
[…] John Hicks started it. Shaun Inman replied to it. Scott, Veerle, and Dan joined in… and all of a sudden it was a meme. […]
Couldn’t resist :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikegee/243632441/
@Veerle: Love it :)
@Bryan: There’s “fashionably late” and then there’s just plain “late” — guess which one you are this time? ;)
@Mike G: Dude, that ROCKS.

This is the sort of meme I love. Not a designer of course but irony is to be found nonetheless: http://www.jungle-life.com/item/975
Comic Sans is a font beloved by computer novices everywhere. How dare ye! ;)
