And all I have now is a post-it with a picture I drew on it: a bird sitting on the power lines. I have no idea what is that supposed to mean That is surely sight from my window, but what did I try to remember? Electric bird? The way birds can sit on powerlines without the electricity passing through them because electricity is so storming lazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like how on earth did I expect to remember anything based on this? Every now and then I find a scrap of paper or an index card or something with a scribble and it's....baffling.

The site has a lot of circles in the design so they fit, in my opinion, though are not without a bit of annoyance. I do generally think they are better this way.

It'll require some futzing around in Photoshop. See, it's really easy to make perfect squares in there; making circles is a little trickier. Doable, but it's kind of a pain.

The best response I've heard to "Eat your dinner. There are starving children in Africa" is "Here's twenty bucks. Mail it to them." When my Momspren was a kid she had that conversation with her babysitter: "Eat that apple! There are children in Africa who are starving and you're just going to throw rest of that thing away because your stomach is full?!" "If they need it so badly, send it to them!"

Photoshop is not circle-friendly. Resize an avatar to LJ-size 100x100 pixels? Easy peasy! Try and crop something into a circle? UNLEASH THE ELDRITCH ABOMINATION! SUMMON CTHULHU! THE MORTAL DARES TREAD IN THE UNHOLY SACRED REALM! Also, I feel like since our corners got cut off, our avatars should be made slightly bigger to make up for the lost real estate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also pretty sad that people's only consideration for the poor starving children is to use them as an argument not like, actually send them donations or fund a charity or anything.
