364 of 365 is an invitation #Inkscape

Almost a year ago tonight, I was thinking of something to do to improve my understanding of an open source application, further my design skills, change my brand from beer to design, and strengthen my connections to key groups of friends, like librarians. All I have to say is that if you want to know something through and through, if you want to truly make it a part of you, if you want it to soak in, do it every day and share it.

I could not say it any better than this:

“A Seinfeld reference. Can be commonly used when you are angry, or also when someone is complaining about something trivial, as in:

Katy: “I don’t like my car because it only has two cup holders”
John: “These pretzels are making me thirsty.”

In my office in my house, I’m still surrounded by the bottles, paraphernalia, glassware, and other memories of my time when I was actively beer blogging. I stopped blogging about beer for various reasons last year (the blog post on the topic is here) but I’m still reminded every time I sit down to work here that it was a big part of my life. In fact, the 365 sketches project was done in part to replace beer blogging with a healthier pursuit. Thanks to all of you for helping with that. I’m packing all the stuff up in the next few days, including my favorite bottle opener which I’ve depicted for you here.

You might be looking for jet packs and flying cars. I’m looking for a refrigerator that can text me that I need more eggs. They promised us the future.
