Protect Your Precious Baby


A friend of mine recently had a baby and while trolling around for gifts, I stumbled across this website. http://www.mytinyhands.com

So, the baby on board car yield sign has an accompanying “don’t touch my baby” stop sign. Isn’t that just darling. I also like how the sign is available in Spanish as well. While I could be underestimating the number of highly affluent, monolingual, overprotective, germ phobic Spanish speaking parents there are out there, I think the real market for this is intended for the same highly affluent, monolingual, overprotective, germ phobic English speaking parents as the original. The Spanish language sign could be about diversity, but I’m guessing a woman who is so unused to dealing with people as she is unable to say, “don’t touch my baby” probably doesn’t have much experience outside her social circle. Therefore, I can’t help but conclude the Spanish language sign has the goal of keeping “the help” from touching her baby.



Either way, wouldn’t an ideogram be a better way to say “don’t touch my baby you dirty dirty stranger” to people of all levels of literacy. I submit the below prototype for your consideration. With help from Tracey, we found a very familiar WASPy icon of a baby, some evil looking hands, and voila.



I think this will make me millions when I start selling them at mother to be boutiques in yuppie neighborhoods, such as Uppity! Now is your chance to get in on the ground floor of an amazing business opportunity.

Scientologists take over west coast video

They have a psychiatry the industry of death exhibit up for free, if anyone would like to do that instead of watching a movie rental.

Afternoon on the cobbs creek trail.

You can watch them rebuilding the el from the cobbs creek trail. Also the recreation center has the ms. Pac-man and tekken 3 arcade games.  It almost makes up for the fact that they encourage people to park on the trail.

Complaining

I just saw the batman movie which got out at 3:15. It is now 4:15 in the morning I am literally abrasive from the beach. It is already/still muggy and miserable outside. I know that i can only manage about 4 hours of sleep before it will be too hot to tomorrow. The bus passed me one block from the stop. It is supposed to be every 15 min. I've invested too much time to get a cab, but am too miserably tired not to. Blech.

driving

So as I am stuck in traffic on an off ramp with a picture of a total schmuck waving at me from the back of a truck, I am forced to ask... As I always do when I'm forced to drive for work... "why do people do this to themselves?" I think I have become too unsympathetic to do highway transportation planning.

Kick ya to the curb

Norristown is always ready to kick one off an abandoned stoop. On my way to camping in maryland. Beach and camping sound great. I'm pretty geeked. Now if I can just get out of town.
