Very Specific Cookies
November 27th, 2008 · No Comments
Happy Thanksgiving. Moving on, as I walked by a Pretzel Time franchise in Manhattan the other night I noticed two huge, very specific cookies in the window.

The Wonderland of Knowledge Wednesdays – Birch, Birds
November 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Special Edition: Occasionally I like to flip through the pages of The Wonderland of Knowledge and think about what was going through the mind of the copywriter when they were compiling the knowledge for the wonderland.
