Signed, Sealed, Delivered

My good friend (and excellent graphic designer) Nathan made me these as a birthday present (my birthday being today, please ensure that all comments contain some sort of outrageous compliment for me). Anyway, they're so cool that I thought I'd post them.

First, the seal of approval:


















And then, of course, the seal of disapproval:

















You don't want that one, believe me. Someday these will become universally accepted standards of quality.

I love it. They made me laugh and laugh. Anyway, Happy Birthday. I bought you a really nice present but I lost it. Yeah, that's it.

For some reason that second one reminds me of the Che Guevara T-shirts college students always wear.

It is time for the Joel Hiller Revolution to begin! Starting with a cool T-Shirt that I could put together really quickly.

Viva La Joel Hiller!

Great Idea, Nathan, although I'm not so sure about the "la" part of that last statement.

So that dentist office I complained about a while back also sent me a happy birthday e-mail today. That's not a greeting I particularly relish.

Ever since you gave me a kidney, saved my dog from a mac truck, and introduced me to my soul mate I have owed you. I guess its time to pay up. Look for a Happy Birthday rock through a window near you.

Happy Birthday Joel.

You look kinda like Stephen Colbert on the second one.

And I acknowledge the anniversary of the day your blood and placenta covered body entered the world.

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
