PS. Sup­port the NOH8 Cam­paign.

NOH8 Campaign

Inspired by Robert Indi­ana’s LOVE sculp­ture, I orig­i­nal­ly designed it as dona­tion-fundrais­er for the “No On 8” cam­paign. Due to its flu­id Design mean­ing and impli­ca­tions, it can be uni­ver­sal­ly used to express your intol­er­ance to any form of “Hate” (H8).

If you are inter­est­ed in pur­chas­ing t‑shirts, bags, hats, but­tons, etc. with the NOH8 Design, I have set up a store­front with the NOH8 prod­uct line over at:

http://is.gd/82oM

Par­tial pro­ceeds from this prod­uct line will be donat­ed towards the cam­paign against Propo­si­tion 8.1

In the mean­time, spread the word… http://justamemo.com/noh8

Update: There seems to be a NOH8 Cam­paign (a pho­to­graph­ic silent protest). More info here.

  1. Here is my stance on Prop 8, and why I’m against it. []

Some take­aways from Olber­man­n’s Spe­cial Com­ment on Cal­i­for­ni­a’s Prop. 8:

  • What is it to you?”
  • They want what you want.”
  • Spread hap­pi­ness.”
  • Do onto oth­ers as you would have them do onto you1.”

The Muuunday on the Slopes

It ain’t no Mam­moth of a day, but it was almost Heav­en­ly. Keno, Bel­Lou, their home­girl and I went up for the first day of the sea­son, and what a start it was. We hit up the east side of Mt. High, and bare­ly no one there! 18–36 inch­es in depth, with 2–4 inch­es last night from the storm. Ahhh it was­n’t a Bear of a dump, but we got High—what?!
