Tuesday Fun

Happy Tuesday, dear readers! Is it just me, or does the world seem to be spinning faster? I swear I don’t have as many hours in the day as I did a few months ago and the days are getting longer and that just makes absolutely no sense to me. Then again, it could just be we are getting to the end of the quarter and there is too much to do. So in honor of all of that, let’s take some time to have some fun because Tuesday needs some love, too.

If you teach, I’m sure you’ve gotten an email from a student at some point that started with the lovely salutation of “Hey, Prof!” If so, enjoy this wonderful comic from PhD Comics How to Write an Email to your Instructor or T.A.. Yeah, it is like that sometimes, though this quarter my class is fantastic so I’ve not had to deal with this particular brand of fun communication.

I love design and typography and am continually blown away by artists who hand-letter their designs. So please, give yourself a delightful break and watch Seb Lester draw logos by hand. Incredible!

xkcd is one of my favorite web comics and I’m so happy there’s been a new biology comic I can share with students. Degree-off is wonderful. Enjoy.

I hope you have a wonderful, productive, fun, and awesome day, dear readers. Or, at least a day that is not super-stressful and worrisome. I’ll be back soon with some thoughts on designing posters as I work towards completing mine for ALA Annual. 🙂 Allons-y!
