“Like” Stamp – The New Gold Star?

Yesterday, I gave a process map to my manager and she wrote "Yes" – and "Thanks" on it in red ink. 
 
Consequently, I asked for a gold star – normal, right?
 
After posting this thought to both Facebook and Twitter (where friends sent me graphics of gold stars – thanks!) someone sent me a link to this "Like" stamp.
 
I think the Gold Star is dead. Thumbs up for the Like Stamp.

It’s Official: ereader is “e-reader” and smartphone is “smart phone”

How do I spell it? How is e-reader correctly punctuated? Is there a space in between these words?

These are questions that have plagued the social media/digital geek community ever since these technologies became an extension of ourselves.

But who has it worse is the journalist population… and I know this for two reasons – my sister lives and breathes the AP stylebook, and I went to Syracuse (S.I. Newhouse, ahem ahem). Yes, they sleep with the book.

So, it is for all of you that I would like to share this fun document on how to correctly spell, punctuate and hypenate all those words that you couldn’t find in your book.

Geek Joke of the Day: Colors & Cursors

Designers and Color Geeks rejoice with today's geek joke on color (image #1)
 
Millions of computers are made each year and still no one talks about sustainability in the cursor industry. We should, because according to this poster they’re being cut down at an alarming rate. We’re in luck that Nathan W Pyle has designed this poster informing us about the massive cursor deforestation going on. (Image #2)
