Ben Munson of Horton Unlimited has got a new daily type thing going on called, “This Day In Type.” He trusted us to do today’s date, and man, I sure was sweating their submittal process. Ben Munson ain’t one to be messed with.

Get over there and bookmark that site, and tell all yer friends. This is a good one. I can smell a “daily visit kinda thing” from here on out, man. Do it. Join. Contribute. Make some type. Now.

I used to catch a ride over to the VoTech center with a rather wild kid by the name of Ron Boyle. He drove this real hunk-of-shit brown Gremlin. The floorboard was rusted through, and at the right speed, the windshiled would sort of pop up to let the blowing snow in.

Plain and simple and beautiful: Some hometown photography from the folks at PlainSimple out there in Salt Lake City. (Passed from desk to desk, in folded note form, by the peaceful Andy Beach.)
