Banner: March 2009

For those reading me in a reader, or those who still see Cupid: clear your cache and load up the site and behold our brilliant March banner. How did this theme come about? Well, polling my readers on Twitter, I received an e-mail from Craig’s sister Kristin which read…

“Adam,

I just saw your status update and I suddenly had an idea for your banner that is so good I had to write to you in private, that way you can use it and pretend it was your idea! I wouldn’t even care!

Man, this idea is so good, I should make you pay me first! But I won’t…

Okay, here we go…..

Cookies!

March is Girl Scout cookie month! We could have you plucking all the different types of Girl Scout cookies out of the sky: Samoas, peanut butter Tagalongs, Thin Mints, shortbread, etc. And you could be in a uniform, maybe…(maybe not, I don’t want to imply that I think you should dress up like a girl). Either way, it would be awesome!

There’s your March banner plan, free of charge!”

Well thank you Kristin! And thanks to Lindy for illustrating it, Leah for designing the color scheme and Justin for uploading it. And of course to the Girl Scouts: if it weren’t for your cookies, none of us would be here right now.
