I know my son, Jax, is going to ask me this question someday.

How do I know? Because I just dug those suckers out from the cupboard above the fridge last night!

What’s even crazier is that only one of those are NEW. That’s right- I recycled all of the other new ones the moment they showed up on my doorstep. And the ONLY reason I kept that one new book was because of the pretty sweet coupons in it- but that one is gone now too because I realized I could just take the coupons out and save my cupboards the space. (I actually tweeted about how I’m going to use these this year here.)

This brought up a larger question for me when my friend Dennis Mansfield posted about our local paper requiring another blogger to request permission to link to their stories online.

ChurchCrunch totally beat me to this. So this is sort-of a repost of that post.

Sweet infographicness after the jump.

Earlier today I watched Sven Kramer lose the gold medal in the men’s 10k for failing to change lanes- a seemingly bone head mistake, but one that has ultimately proved to be the fault of his coach.

As many of you may have heard, Dutch speed-skater superstar Sven Kramer was heavily favored to win the Men’s 10K event in Vancouver (he hasn’t lost in the event since finishing 7th in the 2006 games), but was disqualified due to a lane violation, effectively dashing what would have been his second gold medal of the games and his fourth lowering of the recorded time for the event.

The sport of long track speed-skating, played on a 400 meter oval with just two lanes, requires that each athlete switch lanes on each lap of the race- this is done on the back straight of the oval of every lap.

A client of mine sent me this pic after he booked a hunt with “Red Rocker” Sammy Hagar.

I designed the Western Oregon Adventures logo as well as creating a custom website for Dustin (pictured at left) and his partners.

Old Spice hits one out of the park with this one!

I want to know more from a production standpoint. Was this a single take or multiple?
It flows very well and appears seamless. I’ll have to watch it a few more times to see if there are any glitches.

Your take?
