Though I won't get into this debate here, it soon becomes tiring. I'm currently in the early stages of a project that offers an alternative to design spec-work involving the employment of design students, tomorrows professionals. It would be great to discuss this further with you if you find any spare time. If you're curious you'll find a fast-paced slideshare in my website URL to the left that will provide a bit more information on the project. Thanks for your time and I look forward to see the chosen design! jase. Hi Tim,

VERY american, or so i thought (see your hot coffee example). it was not a fun read ... and then i saw the comments. sheesh. pitiful. sad. ok, much as i was suppressing my curiousity before, now i HAVE to see the book. i'll buy it. promise. and i'm sure the cover will be interesting. good luck. wow. my original intent was to comment on your post, tim. way too much pre-emptive apologies, caveats and disclaimers.
