Hey

xiombarg? Remember Ben Day? "All I could see were smiling geese"?

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. I am talking about my Periodic Table of Condiments page. I cribbed that 7 years ago out of a day planner that was a sample from some paper company. The story of it was that it was about a genius graphic designer named Ben Day.

Anyway, it's been my 15 mins of fame several times as it circulates on cool site of the day lists. I've never remembered where it was from. But someone on the net found it and emailed Eleri about it.

"It appeared in a mock calendar diary for 1997 and was produced by Potlatch (the paper company) under the title "365 Ben Days." The concept and design was by Dana Arnett, Ken Fox, Fletcher Martin and John Naresky of VSA Partners, Chicago."

So it's all VSA Partners' fault. I updated my page with the more recent info and emailed VSA Partners about it. We'll see if they ask me to take it down or not. But if you go to their heavily-animated site, you'll find stuff about Ben Day in their portfolio section under the Potlatch entries.
