It was announced recently in the news that McDonald's had received a letter in the form of full-page ads signed by 550 health professionals and organizations demanding that they stop marketing to kids and retire Ronald McDonald. My overall impression is that we've given up on moms and dads taking responsibility for what their children eat.

Less Taxing Times Ahead
As everyone would agree, this time of year can be especially taxing (pun intended). This year, however, we have the added worries of war in the mid-east and leaking radiation in Japan. Meanwhile, governments everywhere are wrestling with how to pay for their growing debt.
¿Usted Imprimió Sobre Qué?
Las impresoras de inyección de tinta de formato ancho están ahora produciendo algunas cosas asombrosas con textiles. Usted puede haber visto muchos ejemplos de sublimación, como estas chaquetas sublimadas producidas con una FP-740 de Roland DG. Yo especialmente disfruto de las alas de tela en la réplica de un planeador Lilienthal de 1895 colgado en nuestro lobby, impresas con una AJ-1000 de Roland DG.
The Virtues of Being Nimble
On my way to work this morning, I endured the typical frustrations of driving in Southern California traffic. The cement, garbage, 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks were lined up four abreast. In addition, there were the usual assortment of cars and pickups traveling at a rate 10 to 15 miles under the speed limit and leaving huge gaps, sometimes a quarter mile — between them and the next vehicle.
It’s Not Rocket Science
One of my hobbies is managing a small but growing portfolio of stocks and among my better performing investments of the past few years has been Apple (APPL). Accordingly, I read a fair amount of news and commentary in the business and investment press with regards to whether Apple will continue to grow, or whether it’s peaked.
Roland DG @ The Movies

Son los Pequeños Detalles los que Definen el Éxito o el Fracaso
Fue en la Phoenix International Raceway, la penúltima carrera de la Chase de NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, donde Kevin Harvick del equipo № 29 Shell/Pennzoil de Richard Childress Racing había ascendido del puesto 29 al 4 cuando entró a boxes con su auto. Dado que se encontraba en 3er lugar en la clasificación general de la Chase, a solo 59 puntos de Denny Hamlin, en esa carrera había mucho dinero y prestigio en juego. Desafortunadamente, mientras Kevin se alejaba de los boxes, uno de los mecánicos vio en el suelo una tuerca que debía sujetar la rueda. Kevin tuvo que volver, lo que le hizo retroceder al puesto 19. Con algo de suerte, Harvick eventualmente terminó sexto, 45 puntos detrás de Hamlin en puntos Chase, y aún con posibilidades de ganar.
Your Creativity Is Our Inspiration
At the recent SGIA show in Las Vegas, I had someone approach me who read my name badge and challenged me, "Creative Director? What would someone with a title like that do when the entire company is so creative?"
Vehicle Wraps Motor into the Fast Lane
We just hosted another full Born To Wrap 2-day workshop at our California offices and I have no doubt that our free wrap demos at SGIA will also be well attended. I believe there are two primary reasons for this continued interest in designing and installing vehicle wraps and they are profound.
