Here's what happened this week at the world's hottest design and branding firm:

I thought I saw a dead person. While peaking over the roof from our patio, I thought I saw a dead guy, on a heap of garbage. That's the pic above. Click, and you'll see the body. There's even a mob car there, as if it was just freshly dumped. But no such excitement. It turns out someone put a dummy in the garbage. And, oh, how nice our back alley looks, huh?

HeadBlade launched the new site we designed for them. They handled all of the programming and implementation themselves - but the design concept is all ours.

I found out a good friend of mine just left Mullen. If anyone's looking for a uber talented art/creative interactive director, let me know.

Leigh got a new machine this week, but refused to pose in the "i'm a mac" costume to celebrate. It's because she's a vampiress, and doesn't show up on film. Or pixels.

David, our new intern started this week. We went to a company lunch today, and tried to convince him that interns usually pay on their first lunch. He didn't fall for it - so he's definitely smarter than most of us, and on his way to a great career in design.
