Last night Finn was describing the “supermongous” house he’s going to build for his wife and himself. I thought the word was great, so I bought supermongous.com and Finn and I are trying to decide what to do with it. Might become Finn’s own blog.

Here’s a logo for it. Finn requested the exclamation point, so it sounds bigger.

The new Yeasayer. More poppy than the last one. And just plain awesome.

Finn was “designing logos” at school the other day when Lisa picked him up.

This woulda been considered a natural disaster in Seattle (where I grew up). But here in Chicago, I just shoveled a path for the kids to head off to school…
