I have to take my hat off to this guy. Many of us, seeing an abomination in the name of sign-writing, simply shudder, grind our teeth and move on.
Not so for Jeff Deck.
During the course of 2½ months, he and a friend travelled the US, noting and altering as many offences as possible. Mostly though – and this is worth a solid gold win right here – they tried to get the owners of the signs to make the changes themselves.
Education! Yes, that’s the key!
Some time later, they now have a book about their experience. Click on the picture to learn more about it and read an extract.

For some reason, all I want to do is sit down and read it, red pen on standby…

Thanks to Tanya for this find!

The Guild goes to The Ganges
Posted by Spike Matthews on Friday, August 6, 2010

You probably stumbled across a viral video called ‘Do you wanna date my avatar‘ featuring a group of people who appear in a web-series about WoW gamers – The Guild.

Well they’re at it again and it would appear they’ve caught the Bollywood bug from repeated viewings of Slumdog Millionaire.

Cheers to Wolf over on Facebook.

While it doesn’t seem to reach its humor potential, it is still a great commentary on our ridiculous use of effects.

Signs of Spring (NSFW)
Posted by Spike Matthews on Friday, July 23, 2010

Yeah, so the northern hemisphere is just getting into the swing of Summer, but folk in the southern half of the world will be freezing their various bits off and looking forward to a time they only have to wear three layers of clothing while they shiver at the bus stop.
That said, this video is utterly poor in timing (unless you read Danielle Corsetto’s excellent webcomic Girls With Slingshots, from which I have shamelessly filched this item).

So, sit back and enjoy a nice gentle ditty about the joys of springtime, presented entirely in ASL (USA sign language), with lyrics and backing track.
Oh btw… you did see that NSFW flag up there, right?

Myself, I love the fact there’s a couple of backing singers signers.
