I was sketching a dress for a friend's wedding in Portland and kept hitting a wall

Remembered a client's dog photo once, made me add pockets to everything.

Pro tip: Clear CMOS before declaring a motherboard dead

Tech necromancy" is a perfect way to put it. I once spent a whole afternoon swapping parts before I realized my own screwdriver had nudged a power switch to the off position. Felt like a real genius that day.

Just realized I've been opening my mail wrong for years

Ha, that's actually pretty smart. I've used a butter knife to open letters before when I couldn't find the opener. It does the same job, just looks a little weird.

Can we talk about the time a client's logo file was just a screenshot from their website?

Oh man, that's the worst. I read a blog post from a designer who said the "screenshot logo" is practically a rite of passage. They had a client send a tiny JPG pulled from a Facebook profile picture for a billboard. Another story was about someone using a photo of a business card they took with their phone. It just shows how what looks okay on a phone screen falls apart completely in print. You end having to give a crash course on pixels versus vectors.

Woke up sure I slept too long, but the clock said otherwise

Wait, he swore he slept half the day but it was only 20 minutes? That's actually kind of scary. I've had that weird time stretch feeling before, but never that extreme. It makes me wonder what's going on in your sleep cycle for it to feel that long. I'd probably be checking my carbon monoxide detector or something if I was that off.
