Why be an advocate?

Because good ideas deserve to be recognized and good design should be impossible to ignore. Because in this message-muddled world, there are still some lines that can catch my eye and win me over. Because the world has never been changed by indifference. Because there are people, places, products and punchlines that have inspired me- and could very likely inspire you too. Because I still need a place to release some personal revelations, raves and rants. Because it's just too damn hard to keep it all to myself.
