A Few Things

- I saw a few days ago on CNN.com the new nickels that are doing to be in circulation starting next year. There are two different designs commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition west. The first design has a landscape of the Pacific Ocean, while the other reverts back to a Buffalo of the old five cent piece. Both of the nickels along with all new nickels after them will have a new portrait of Thomas Jefferson also. Instead of the side profile it will be from a different angle and closer, showing more detail. Both of the designs are really cool and I think thats how money should be. Money is a form of art and rather than being "static" like our money is now, it needs to be "dynamic" like the new nickels are going to be. There has been a current trend to make our money more secure from counterfieting and in the process changing the design, but the paper bills still like the "dynamic" qualities the new nickels are going to have. It's a small thing, but too me the details and care for the small things is what that makes things better.

- In the current "I'm Lovin' It" McDonalds ad campaign, the newest commercial uses the Louisville skyline in the ad. It's just a brief appearence but I'm for sure its the Louisville skyline with the Aegon Tower and such in view. Just an interesting tid bit.

- And finally two people apparently think I am paid to write this blog. The first person suggested that I write a blog more frequently while the other suggested the hiring of an editor. To set the record straight, I do get paid, but its a minimal amount that only covers the highlighters I use when editing the blog. But I never turn down a donation and yes it is tax deductable.
