I’d love to blame Twitter for cutting down the rate of actual blog posts, which is partially true, but certainly doesn’t account for a six week gap. I have noticed a decline in posts from almost all the personal blogs I read. I assume most people are using an RSS feed anyway and get updates as they arrive. Is the age of regular posting pretty much dead? Probably.

I’ve been sick in bed for almost a week now, and contrary to those who suggested this was a “man-cold”, it has developed into the worst flu I’ve had in years. Writing this post is painful. So, with that in mind, we all need a bit of comedy diversion in these tough times, right?

On a lovely trip to Leuven, Belgium, I came across this sticker on the front door of my hotel. Does it deserve a place alongside the 2012 Olympics Logo or other absurdly suggestive graphic designs? I assume this sign is supposed to mean that guide dogs are welcome. It could be argued that there is nothing suggestive at all about any of these logos until someone points out they might suggest more than they were intended. But at the end of the day, isn’t that a failure of the design? No unintended meaning should be applied.
