OK readers, 2010 is here and I’ve got some cleaning to do. Here are a few announcements, in no particular order, but all equally awesome:

BAKERY (my business consultancy w/ fellow blogger Jaime)’s Half Dozen e-course is launching our second session on February 1st. Register today!

I will be speaking at Altitude Design Summit with a few of my fave online pals from Jan 21-23 in Salt Lake City. Come join us!

Lastly, a big thanks to our readers for making Design for Mankind one of 50 of the world’s best design blogs.

Happy Wednesday, dears!

Grr, baby, grr.

My husband is the chef of the family (and I use the term chef verrrry lightly, kids), mostly b/c if he didn’t cook, we’d have cereal for dinner every night.

Anyway, I’d pronounce this poster “make my steaks” to see if he thinks it’s as funny as I do.

Probably wouldn’t.
