Do your part to "Help Denver Suck Less, Daily"

The Denver Egotist is accepting essays for creative souls who would love to become one of the anonymous Egotists.  Those bringing the sharp end of the stick to Denver's ad community. 

So if you fancy yourself a writer and are keen to help raise the bar in our fair town, put your head down and pen an essay about it.

I think they could use more insider stuff and fewer look-at-this-cool-design-thing-we-found-on-another-blog posts.  A return to what made this such a cool idea to begin with.  Just my two cents.

New look for 2008

I've been meaning to get out from under the typepad template I've been using for this site, so here we go.  A fresh layout and logo for 2008.  I'm by no means a designer so who knows if it's any good but I feel it works better for me, and hopefully for you too.  The three columns afford me more space for links and stuff.  Also, I've committed to an ad-free blog which I hope others do too (there is far too much advertising cluttering up some good blogs out there). So enjoy, and if you have any suggestions for tweaking the design, layout, etc. by all means give me a shout.

New Denver agency blog

The small Denver agency pure Brand Communications has started an agency blog called pure thinking.  Ken Barber over at pure let me know about it.  He looks to be off to a good start with this post about an ad he spotted on a pack of meat handed over to him by a butcher.
