OWN EVERY ELEMENT ON THE PAGE: Here’s a good lesson, people: There’s no excuse for a half-ass layout. Print, web or whatever. You gotta own every piece of it. Hillerns comes in wayyyy hot with a rather impressive site called Grain and Gram. From the writing to the photography to the layout to the icons to the logo….every little piece is considered. And folks, that’s how shit should be done. Aspire to this kind of graphical greatness. I do. The Grain and Gram enterprise is out of Orlando, we’re guessing. That’s a town in Florida.

Check out this guy with the pipe. One nice layout. Wow.

And yeah, you prob’ly heard about this months ago, yet again, proving how behind the ball we are.

SETTLED IT: That Panasonic Lumix GF1. It’ll be here tomorrow. Put the order in Friday afternoon. Pretty excited. Leigh’s gonna take my G10, so it’ll be in good hands. Thank you to everyone who offered up tips and tricks. Much appreciated. Hope I don’t drop the thing.

THIS ONE COMES IN FROM A GUY NAMED “DAVE CASKEY”: 12 WPA Food Posters. Lot of milk advocacy in there. I just might go get a gallon of milk and drink the thing right now. Maybe let it get room temperature, then get to fortifying my teeth and bones. (Thanks, Dave!)

OUR RULE: Milk on cereal, and that’s about it.
