i am a very skeptical person and there are few things that i am willing to actively  fundraise.  one of the questions that i ask is who does this benefit?  well the aids lifecycle ride to end aids is a no brainer.  the work that the los angeles gay, lesbian center does is inspiring.  they reach out to the community in the most broad and inclusive way to help people not only with HIV AIDS but with other needs with no judgement to sexual orientation and with respect.  these are people that may not have anywhere else to turn.  this is truly putting money to good work.

i have committed to ride to bring awareness, and i have committed to fundraise because it is the right thing to do.   please support this ride with what you are able to give… i guarantee you, the money you donate will save lives.  and who couldn’t feel good about that?

graham smith from ImJustCreative did an interesting exercise distilling famous logos into colored dots…. its amazing to see how well they hold up in their most minimalist form.  check out it out: http://imjustcreative.com/famous-logos-and-brand-design-simplified/2010/10/07/
