Sometimes you just gotta start making stuff. Last year, when it was a state’s birthday, I would give that state a happy birthday by leaving a sticky note on their flag pole. I would research state flag for that particular state, and find some sort of interesting trivia about their flag. That piece of trivia …
The shapes of a Calder sculpture are so bold and graphic. They make for a great canvas to write upon. A loyal long-time fan of Spudart is the super Tom Saaristo. He’s been a wonderful encouragement all the way since the Spudart blog’s start 15 years ago. Today is Tom’s birthday. I wanted to wish him a …
Today is the 736,000th day since Jan 1, 0001! I went to timeanddate.com to double-check the math. On their homepage, they have a promo to print our 2016 calendar (archived screenshot). At first glance when I saw the image, I thought, “WOW! HOW DO THEY HAVE A PHOTO OF MY CALENDAR!” and then I realized, …
Why limit yourself to saying Happy New Year just once a year? Start your week off with a party and say Happy New Week to everyone. Also, welcome my new webcomic characters, Etym the mole, and the Worm to be named later. I plan on having some fun with these guys–and perhaps some more characters …
I bought “Orange Happy Tree” from the artist Todd Webb. I really like Todd’s work, it’s very optimistic. Here’s my message to Todd when I bought “Orange Happy Tree” on etsy. Wooo! I saw your tweet about the goose, and I thought, “hmm, I wonder if todd has posted anything new in etsy for sale.” …

Sometimes people post obnoxious photos on their friends wall for their birthday. While, I’m okay with posting silly photos, sometimes you don’t want to …

I found a new blog that is full of fun happiness. While leaving my first comment on the delightful intergalactic croquet photo, my captcha said, “bingoo.” Who knew that “bingoo” is a word! Oh captcha how you can bring about such fun words. Especially when they are coupled with super fun blog posts like this …
You might be thinking, “the new millennium was in 2000, this is 2010.” But! The millennium is still pretty new. 10 years old. Considering that a millennium is 1000 years long, ten years is a drop in the bucket. 2010 is a good time to go back and review the newness of the millennium. What …
PaperGirl had a nice post about her twitter usage, so I’m making one too. I’ve been tweeting for almost two years now as @spudart. My tweets tend to be about fun ideas and interesting observations. My most-used word is Chicago. So many fun things happening in Chicago, especially when I work at the Tribune Tower. …
I feel like we are in the wrong year. Today is 10/10/09. Although it is rather comforting that we aren’t living THE perfect 10 day. We have some wiggle room for imperfection. By the way, this is my 2,000th blog post. I was gonna take a photo of 2,000 pennies (much like when I photographed …
“Have a good weekend!” Co-workers wish each other this all the time. How about when you get back to work? I’m gonna start saying “Happy weekstart!”
