@tsevince Tipping should also gauge if your food/service is great or that you need to step up your game. 20% is like getting ten out of ten.

I’m busy solving everyone else’s problems.
Challenge 2:
Do an illustration based on your opponent’s facebook status.
Yooner’s Status:
감사합니다~ 언제나 내 기도에 응답하시는 분 ♥
Translated:
Thank you ~ ♥ Persons who respond to my prayers always
Background:
I thought about what people pray to. I always thought that before any religion, our ancestors looked up at the stars to pray.
Here’s my version of an Ed Emberley of stuff in my room and my face! Go nuts and try your hand at it folks! Maybe I should start doing this on a weekly basis?
How to Draw Mario by creator Shigeru Miyamoto. via maloneybaloney
Other than drawing Ninja Turtles and Astro Boy as a kid, I also taught myself to draw Super Mario.
*sigh* Looks like I have quite a bit on my plate this year. So much on my To Do List. Nothing will get in my way…especially old ladies.
On my breaks at the NBTC 11’ conference, I would doodle. On a brochure for CMA, Kevin had a smile that would light a room. Then I decided to do a sketch of Don Draper due to my everlasting crush on Jon Hamm. Lastly, there’s Evan! My new buddy on Facebook!
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I have a collection of collections. I collect a lot of random items. I have collections of Super Mario merchandise, Astro Boy, Star Wars, vintage cameras, Japanese candy, and the list goes on! Oh, trust me, I’m not a hoarder (I’m much neater and organized).
Once in a while, I will have a friend come across something to add to my collection. In this case, I was given a Polaroid Land Camera 1000. To reward such a rare find, I created a thank you card for my mother’s co-worker. In the past, he gave me his collection of Gundam models and he even kept the manuals with them (which are just insane!).
Once again, thank you William!
Here’s the latest poster I designed for Nspire’s 4th Discovery Series event. This event will focus on helping you have a confident presence when you go out there to network. Your body language may be louder than you think.

The Nspire Discovery Series is a monthly networking event hosted by the Nspire Innovation Network. Successful professionals tell their stories and share their experiences with the next generation of Canadian innovators.
MODERN TOOLS OF CREATION:
Since the invention of the personal computer, the tools of creation have become increasingly widespread, cheaper and easier to use. These tools enable billion dollar companies like Facebook to be bootstrapped in the proverbial “dorm room”. How else have business models changed?
With the increasing spread of smartphones new businesses are also built through the various “apps” markets. What will be the next Angry Birds sensation? How can we utilize these Modern Tools of Creation to build the next Groupon? Come hear our speakers talk about how these tools have forever changed the way business is done and where the trends of technology are headed.

I know I should be doing work but I got inspired by the anonymous female image on Facebook. So, I decided to put my own spin to this with my nerd love. This is what you would see as my profile pic. I would post a link to my Facebook but I have been tagged with too many photos of me in a Speedo.
