Who Am I?

My name is John and I am a 27 year old systems administrator. I do web design. I like backpacking. I use WordPress. On this site I talk mostly about the things I like. This is a site about me.

Things I Do...

I have several projects I maintain, when they are done, I usually replace them with other things to keep me busy. Currently I am working on taking WordPress Junkie live. Contact me if you would like to help.

London 2012 Logo, WTF?

Ok, what the crap is this? I am by no means a designer, but I am convinced I could make a better logo for the London 2012 olympics with my eyes closed. I might even be able to do it with my eyes closed on a Windows machine. (This may be taking it a step too far as I am sure this designer had their eyes open while using MS paint)

Quite possibly the worst graphic ever made for the olympics

Beijing’s logo was actually quite cool. The logo looks like an ancient runner, but is actually the modified script of the word for Beijing. Stuff like that flies in my book, especially since it looks pretty cool and served the games well.

Great blend of script and graphics, simple yet flashy.

But nothing compares to the coolness of the Tokyo games. Their logo was the most simple of them all, and at the same time showed you everything you needed to know about the games and where they were held.

Rings and the japaneese flag, simple and polished.
