Sorry for the lack of posts folks!
It's been quite crazy at work FINALLY. The Eos launch is coming so it's been nutty here. Batch processing close to 1000 images... three different times no less. Erghh. Should be laucnhing soon too so yay!
So... whats new? Um, Betty is coming along nicely. I spoke with a really nice guy named mark simonson who used to letter all of the so-cal and von dutch cars back in the day and he is helping design some signage for betts which I'm super SUPER stoked for. Imagine, a sign that was hand lettered by the guy who was there in the beginning. Cool huh! He's a graphic designer/fontographer too which is neat in it's own right.
Here's a rough mockup:

Um, next... go check out my mom's site.
This is taken from it...
My best friend Ali was first diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40.
Since then, breast cancer has returned three more times, resulting in a mastectomy of her left breast, and last summer… a breast cancer cell that traveled to her liver.
Overnight, Ali went from stage 1 to stage 4. Today, she faces a battle that she can’t beat. But due to some new drugs on the market, specifically Herceptin, her life expectancy improves. Generally a patient with liver cancer is given a two year life-expectancy, but today, with the help of the wonder drug Herceptin, Ali certainly plans to beat the odds.
Her message to you: Be vigilant. Know and listen to your own body. Ali discovered her breast tumors herself – all three times. Ali’s doctor didn’t agree with her the first time, and waited two years before he agreed to do a biopsy. He was wrong. Today, most doctors listen to patients. If you believe something appears different, most doctors will acknowledge the importance of a patient’s gut, as it is better to err on the safe side.
WHY CRITTERS?
Ali and I have always had a passion for our pets and a soft heart for all the homeless dogs and cats that face extinction if homes cannot be found for them.
We have adopted countless critters and taken in numerous strays over the years. It seemed only natural that a non-profit be created to call attention to the two issues that we seem to have the least amount of control over.
But why? Maybe we can do something to change the tide. To gain control. If we can do something to change people’s behavior, perhaps we can change the outcome of the two outstanding issues that are breaking our hearts: Homeless Dogs and Cats and losing our best friends or the people we care about the most to such an invasive disease. A disease that we must conquer.
Make a difference in our lifetime. In Ali’s.

And lastly, well, I don't have a lastly... um, I'm still twitching from VW. I need a latté or something.
