Death cannot stop true love

*All it can do is delay it for a while.

We’ve all felt that deep, abiding love for someone. The kind of love that reaches out from the grave and feasts on the flesh of the lover left behind. Right?

I thought this quote from the Princess Bride matched nicely with the last drawing, so I re-traced it, made the color scheme a little simpler and made a t-shirt out of it. It’s the very first Doodlehaus signature tee. Enjoy!

Consider the Source

Not all gestures are appreciated. We’re often too hung up on the packaging, the messenger or the situation to realize truth.

Start digging some nerd holes

Start digging some nerd holes

Famous words from Bart Simpson. I think they reflect the frustration people often feel when they deal with those who are heavily technological in nature. People who lace every sentence with jargon that has meaning only to them. To the average person, this odd dialect is both unnerving and maddening. Read the rest of this entry »

Branding, in and of itself, is a violent activity

Branding, in and of itself, is a violent activity

The word “branding” gets thrown around a lot in marketing circles. “How can we get people to interact with our brand?”

I thought it was worth reminding everyone that a brand is really a red-hot logo on a stick that is seared into livestock’s hide to keep people from stealing them. It hurts. A lot. Read the rest of this entry »

Mr. Abernathy ponders the theological ramifications of landing the Johnson account.

The sad thing is most of the tasks we perform every day are mundane.

Satan enjoys a latte at Starbucks

Satan enjoys a latte at Starbucks

Somewhere, or maybe it’s everywhere, in a Starbucks lurks Old Scratch himself.

He’s sitting there wearing designer jeans, a Geoffery Beane shirt, a Jerry Garcia tie and sipping a Venti double-shot latte with two pumps of caramel. You know this because he ordered it once, took a sip and then loudly proclaimed to the entire establishment that it wasn’t right. Read the rest of this entry »

Wherever you go, there you are

Wherever you go, there you are

This has always been my favorite saying, ever since I heard it in…wait for it…one of the Mad Max movies. Despite its dubious origins, I’ve found that it can be simultaneously motivating and comforting. There’s a good book on the topic.

So, with that in mind, here’s some unsolicited advice on how to deal with a bad situation: Read the rest of this entry »

Things are gonna change around here

There’s a manifesto inside me, I know it. Not some crazy bunker-dwelling screed (but time will tell), but a sometimes funny, sometimes scary view of what I see every day.

So here’s the pitch: 365 days. One sketch per day. A little pithy commentary after each sketch.

I’ll do it all on free platforms. Sort of a digital verison of Walden without the trancendental insights or intelligence. I’ll make every sketch available as a t-shirt, coffee mug and poster. If I’m lucky, I’ll break even on the hosting.

The only thing I’ll pay for is hosting and Moleskine notebooks.

There, I wrote it on the internet so it must be true.

If you’ve got a bunch of WordPress installs on a server and need to find all of them, try this shell command:

find . -name “wp-config.php” -print > {your favorite path}/wpinstalls.txt

It worked for me!
