Short sentences that both amused and enlightened me:
“Older people are sticky”
That’s from a New York Times article about social networks that are targeting the older sundeck set, via Advergirl.
“Mad as a box of snakes”
Part of the introduction given to Irma Boom, the book designer, by Simon Waterfall, the president of D&AD. Via We Made This.
“Web development is for Spartan warriors”
One observation from 50 Designers X 6 Questions. Advice solicited from web designers. Via Communication Nation.
isn’t “mad as a bag of ferrets” or a “box of frogs”?
although, this could be a peculiarly english thing. and i guess frogs could be a pejorative term for our french cousins…
I read the first one too fast and thought it said “Older people are stinky.”
Had flashbacks to my job during university years at a “luxury retirement residence.” Most of the residents smelled fine–lavendar was a popular scent–but every now and then you’d catch a whiff of something…. It was actually a great place to work, and paid *a lot* more than minimum wage. Hmmm. I wonder how many of the residents are now sticky.
