you know all i’m all about women’s rights — people’s rights in general for that matter — but not when it is at the expense of someone else. and i’m honestly sick and tired of abortion. it’s like a bandana has come over our eyes, blinding us to the simple truth that if something, or someONE is growing… then it has to be alive and they are just as alive at conception as i am write now typing this. and at conception they are just as important. otherwise we could say that a 1 yr old has more value than a 1 day old, and that’s ridiculous.

killing people is killing people.. plain and simple. 

you may be annoyed with me for standing against abortion, but i’m more annoyed that i have several brothers and sisters who never saw the sun, or ate ice-cream or got to run around a playground because someone had a ‘right’ to take that away. 

it makes me sick.

If you are blessed enough to get out of your culture for a while and experience another, it really broadens your perspective on so many things… and there are fantastic, talented non-Americans doing their thing all of the world… and one thing I want to do with this blog is show people amazing stuff from different cultures. Ok.. I’m off my soapbox now.

Here is Matt Corby, the 16 year old (17 now I think) runner up for this season performing in the Sydney Opera House (which is fantastic by the way). Aussie, aussie, aussie, Oy! Oy! Oy!

So I work a lot with fonts and typography… and I’m a bit of a font fanatic. It’s so bad that when I drive down the highway, I’ll usually be able to name the fonts used on the advertisements and billboards. So when I came across these videos, needless to say… I had to post them. Pretty writing makes me happy.

This 36-page little black flip book has no words, just an identical printed colour-spectrum (the good ol’ ROYGBIV) on each page. When flipped, a rainbow appears in the air between your hands. Behold:
