"The Wilmer Shields Rich Awards Program for Excellence In Communications recognizes and encourages excellence in communications by foundations and corporate giving programs."

Looks like they recognized excellence when they saw Marin Community Foundation's shiny new Mortar-built website, since they gave it a Gold Award. Are we surprised? Not really. Good clients = good work = good results. Are we happy? Deliriously. But then, we're always kinda delirious.

There are no words.

Via Boing-Boing.

It's Girl Scout cookie time, which also happens to be our favorite time of the year.

Coincidence?  Maybe.

Or maybe its because the days are getting a wee bit longer, the cherry blossoms are a bloomin,' and we no longer have to harbor misguided and irrational rage towards a bitter and lonely breed of rodent who may or may not see his own shadow in some destitute New England village.

But mostly it's the cookies.

Cookie booth sales kick off TODAY,  and our very own Nor Cal Girl Scouts are leading the way in the social media and tech space, being the savvy, smart and notoriously adorable little do-gooders who have captivated NPR's All Things Considered.

Where can you buy some boxes, you say? All systems GO for the GPS locater of confections, the interwebs' answer to sugar withdrawals. Visit  www.ilovecookies.org -and type in your zip code for a booth near you. Plus you can make amazing recipes like Do-Si Do^® Thai peanut chicken, Somoas^® Fried Shrimp, Thin Mint Brownies and OMG I'm too hungry to keep going.

Did we mention all cookies have 0 grams trans-fat? No breaking resolutions quite yet.  Hurry up though, the kiddies pack up stands on March 21. Now only if NASA could get their act together…

We don't know what a Phantom camera is, but we want one. We also have a strange craving for dry dog food. Very nicely done.
