Us: Woohoo! We’d like to thank Smashing, our mothers, and the man upstairs.

We just posted the Feed Rinse logo on thelogohomepage.com. It’s a pretty nice (expanding) collection of a lot of the “web 2.0″ logo styles out there, similar to the Flickr entries from earlier this year, only now you pay a small fee to get involved. Unfortunately, big interstitial ads pop up (sometimes?) before you get to the logo collection, but whatever.
Check it out if you want to see where web logo design is at these days or if you want to get listed.
UPDATE: I’ve been informed by Zhen Sun (creator of the logo homepage) that the interstitial ads are actually the work of mybloglog.com, not the logo homepage itself. I haven’t really explored all that mybloglog.com has to offer as of yet, so I appreciate the clarification. It also sounds like Zhen has a few other tricks up his sleeve for this project. It’ll be good to see where he takes it.

Actually, it’s just one so far.
Cuddle Parties!
While clothing is mandatory, we just can’t seem to embrace the idea of cuddling with strangers for 3.5 hours at a time (especially not as a break between communications workshops).
But there are other opinions, for sure. You might want to check out the Cuddlemonials at the official Cuddle Party website to get thoughts from people more familiar with the concept than we are.

Overpopulation Concerns Force U.S. To Reopen South Dakota
WASHINGTON, DC—Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced yesterday that, in order to deal with a growing population that just passed 300 million, the U.S. will reopen the immense, barren region known as South Dakota for the first time since it was shuttered in 1931. “Though no human being has stepped foot on that desolate soil for the better part of a century, we believe it is the best option for addressing the overcrowding we see in the country’s habitable states,” Kempthorne said. “The great, uncharted territory of South Dakota is henceforth open, with plenty of space for anyone who wants it—anyone at all.” According to Kempthorne, if national population continues to grow at this rate, his agency may consider lifting the federal ban on non-Mormon residents in Utah.
