Somewhere, the design gods are laughing

Okay, my company has been lagging behind seriously in the design department but we were making some major headway in changing the corporate thinking about web design from “Take this PowerPoint and make it a website” to real design. When the new homepage comes out, I think lots of people will be impressed. Along those lines, we started searching for a way to improve one major aspect of our business – and I went out to find the people to do it. Given a rather long tether, I brainstormed with a couple other people and we came up with a good list of designers to hit up for their interest.

In the end, one in particular bit – Cameron Moll of Authentic Boredom fame. Turns out he’s as cool to speak with as he seems on his site. But it got better – he asked if we would mind if Dave Shea helped with the project. MIND? Is he nuts? So, here I am, getting the opportunity to work with two of the designers that I respect the most … and I’m leaving my job. It almost makes me want to go back and beg for my job.

And somewhere out there, the Diety of Irony is rolling on the floor, cackling like Dom DeLuise after emptying out a buffet. The asshat.
