What’s Making Me Happy This Week
Taking Care of Business
I’m in the process of redesigning caseydukes.com to be more design-y and professional. (I’ll be moving the tumblr to blog.caseydukes.com, but more on that later). I’m also ordering some new business cards for myself. It needs some tweaking before I send it to the printer today, but I’m happy with how it turned out.
Black Books
I just discovered the most hilarious show ever. I don’t remember the last time a TV show made me laugh so hard. It’s an older (circa 2000) situational comedy about a nutty fellow who runs a bookstore, his long-haired assistant, and the lady who owns a shop next door. Jason described it as “…if High Fidelity was instead about a bookstore and the quirkyness was cranked to 11.” As far as I can tell, it’s only streaming online at HuluPlus+ (which we’re trying for a little while), but you can also rent the DVDs on Netflix.
Structural Engineering
I am thankful for the millions of people who didn’t die in Japan because of buildings that were well constructed. That’s not to say that the earthquake/tsunami wasn’t tragic, but it could have been so…much…worse…in such a densely populated country.
