This One’s for the Birds

In the process of cleaning out our back room, we came across some plastic capsules we used for a client a while back. We posted a message on Craigslist looking for someone to take them off our hands (free of charge, of course) and, to our surprise, were immediately flooded with responses. We had about 50 inquiries regarding the capsules, and this afternoon, Sharon came by to pick them up... and she brought a friend!

Sharon rescues birds, like this 5-year-old cockatiel named Lily, and thinks that the little plastic capsules will make great toys. Good thing plastic lasts forever, because these birds can live to be as old as 80!

Just goes to show, you never know what treasures you'll find laying around a dark, abandoned room (not that we are encouraging anyone to go digging...).

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...
