About that Homeland Security Thing…

Saturday Night Live gets “two-thumbs up” from me for informing us of the new color scheme for the Homeland Security Advisory System. The warning colors?

Off-white: Huge risk of Terrorist Attack
Cream: Immense Risk of Terrorist Attack
Putty: Enormous Risk of Terrorist Attack
Bone: Gigantic Risk of Terrorist Attack
Natural: Enormous Risk of Terrorist Attack

Memorize the colors. Know the code. Now we can all be on the lookout!

A Loss for the Baseball World…

I just heard on the news that Darryl Kile was found dead today in his Chicago hotel room. I remember Kile from his days pitching in Houston, and it’s sad that someone who was only 33 would die so suddenly. It seems odd that it would be of “natural causes” but considering his family history (his father died at the age of 44) I guess it is possible. Scary though, considering he was only a year older then I am. Reminding me once again that life is precious.

A New Government Branch?

Is it time for a Department of National Aesthetics? This article brings out some really good points about the weak name for the “Department of Homeland Security” and the fact that if we are going to display the flag all over the place, don’t we deserve a truly kick-ass design? [via Erynn]
