How's Business?
FOH David Baker, business consultant extraordinaire, sent an e-mail newsletter today reporting that he's seeing just a teeny slowdown in the design field due to the sluggish economy right now, mostly due to any softness in clients' markets. David just relaunched the website for his firm, ReCourses, and is offering a webinar on May 5 with smart strategies for preparing your design business for a tightening economy. Sign up for the ReCourses newsletter, and you'll capitalize on David's good advice.

Creative Career
Apropos of nothing, really: My arts & design newsfeed from NYTimes.com this morning had this headline: Marvin Sylvor, a Designer of Carousels, Dies at 75. I thought to myself, Wow! Wouldn't it be wonderful if your life's work were creating carousel animals? I'd be pretty psyched to go to work every day.

Hot Shipoopi
Just because it's fun to type the word 'shipoopi' -- and because Mike and Robynne are FOH, here's a bit of Modern Dog info for the week: First, they're chatting with Debbie Millman on Design Matters this Friday. Then, they're doing a book release party/birthday celebration (Modern Dog is officially of drinking age now) in Seattle on April 23. Oh, and surely we've mentioned they're speaking at the HOW Conference in May, right?

Overheard On The Forum: New Starbucks Logo
Do you love it or hate it? Take the poll in the forum.   OLD NEW (It turns out this is the original logo. The new one has longer hair that covers her nipples. Plus, according to the Wall Street Journal, the retro logo is only being used as a promotion.)  Don't miss the Antiques Roadshow parody by the Vonster. Posted by Megan
