POPSBrainwashing 101 mmm mmm mmm! Jones, who delivers supplies to about 800 schools, said he remembers seeing the design but didn't think anything about it. He said the supplies were designed by a different company and that "the art department was trying to be cutesy." "I wish I could do it over. But, for now, I can just make it right," Jones said. It's his job to go to schools that might have received supplies with the controversial design and remove them. Finding what schools the supplies went to has been difficult. From a case of 72 notebooks, three have been found that have a design similar to the Obama logo.

POPSFake It! Big Oil asnd Big Coal's New Mantras If you can't find non-employees who support your issues, then have your employees "pose" as real people - tsk, tsk. I'd get real excited, except most politicla parties in US and elsewhere in the world have been telling employees to line up at rallies and paradesand act as if they are just "concerned citizens" forever. Tea Party right-wing Republicans have been doing the same thing in the non-debate about healthcare. I guess they all think we are just stupid - grin - now where did they get that idea?

POPS... 2D barcode ad campaign ... A few years ago I was shown an application that could generate URLs from pictures of a company's logos. We subsequently found ourselves discussing the possibility of "recognizing" Chinese and Japanese characters this way, in order to help western tourists. International road signs could also be "translated". Recently, it has become possible to display a "boarding pass" bar code on your cell phone at the airport. Obviously these types of applications are now starting to emerge (finally).

POPS"Pope proposes Catholic-Muslim merger"
more: And I’m laughing, and he’s laughing. And then, we look at each other, and we’re both, like, you know, that’s not a bad idea. So we batted around some ideas for names, logos, market share and so on. We’re just trying some stuff out.” The Pope was not concerned that devout Catholics may be upset by the new combined-faith church. “Let’s just say, if they’re that devout, they’ll do what I say. I can switch to infallibility mode any time I like. And if any of my people don’t like that, they can just kiss my ring goodbye.” The Pope downplayed concerns that the merger could bring Muslim terrorists into the Catholic church, dismissing the attacks of recent years as youthful hijinks. “Hey, what kid hasn’t joined an extremist group at some time or other. I feel for those young mujahideen scallywags. It’s just a phase. I was in the Hitler Youth, myself.” “I’ll tell you one thing, though,” quipped the aged pontiff, “when this deal goes through, those Jews better watch out! No, I’m k

POPS80+ Must-Read Design Blogs to Enhance your Creativity and your Career I’ve categorized each of the blogs into one of ten main categories: All-in-One, Inspiration, Tutorials, Web Development/Code, Freelance, Logos & Typography, Advice & Discussion, Freebies & Giveaways, Blogging, and Micro-Blogs/Links. That does not mean that the blog doesn’t offer anything else. It just means that the blog has a main focus. Creative Opera, for example, really focuses on giving advice to new designers or design students. But, we offer many other things as well — and have plans to expand greatly in the upcoming months. I’m not trying to pigeonhole anyone, I just want to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. Hopefully you’ll be able to find a few blogs here that will be helpful to you in your design career. As an added bonus, I’ve chosen one of my favorite posts from each to share with you. Enjoy!

POPSWho's Really Behind the Rising Prices at the Pumps? This bipartisan cabal created a speculative mechanism that's presently sucking money out of your pocket with every gallon of gas you pump. Meanwhile, every dollar that Goldman, Morgan and the rest use to inflate oil prices is a dollar they are not investing in real economic activity that could create middle-class jobs. Of course, Wall Street culprits are trying to keep their involvement hush-hush. When a McClatchy newspaper reporter approached Goldman Sachs about it, the response was terse: "Goldman Sachs declines to comment for your story."
