First post!

So it begins. 

I've thought about starting a blog for some time now. Something to keep track of what I find cool and awesome on the interwebs, and something to keep track of me. I considered keeping this private, but I doubt I will even have many followers other than my mom, and sister, and a few others, so I figured, why not? 

To start, I want to explain how HARD it was to even come up with the name calico ice cream! I had a huge list of names and even had some input from Nathan. I'm quite finicky when it comes to things that are tied to me, like design and this name. I decided on calico ice cream for a couple of reasons: 1. Mine and Nathan's first cat is named Teika, and she's a calico, and because of that, my freelance design work falls under the name Calico Design. 2. Ice cream: it's good. it's cool. everybody likes it. and it's just so damn cute! 

I'm also in the process of designing my page's headliner. I debated on waiting until I had all my graphics in place before I published my first blog, but I thought I might as well get over the first post jitters, so here it is. The graphics are still to be determined! Shame on me!

So there goes my first post. Not too shabby I guess. Hell, I might as well throw in something really interesting in here while I'm at it – the newest Cadbury commercial. It's kind of following in the footsteps of the famous Cadbury Gorilla commercial. It doesn't make any sense - I guess that's it's charm.
