As yet another year yawns before us and we stare at the blank pages of 2008 wondering just what we’ll be adding to them in the months to come, we are reminded the ghosts of new years resolutions past and make it our resolve to, this year, really follow through. No, seriously. We really do mean it this time.
Honest.
So we’ve planted our tongue firmly in cheek and gathered a list of resolutions that might well resonate with our neighbors in the design community.

Did you know that in San Diego, you could be fined $250 for keeping your Christmas Light up past February 2nd or that detonating a nuclear device within the Chico city limits results in a $500 fine? That is but two of the countless dumb laws still on the books in cities today around the world. Just head on over to http://www.dumblaws.com/ and look up your State, City, or Country and you’ll be amused and amazed at some of the crazy laws they have out there.
That’s Entertainment

Corey Serin is a 24-year-old California suburbanite who has managed to run up a dept of nearly $200,000 in credit debt in addition to his failed financial exhibitionism in the real estate market where he bought 8 homes intended to be resold for profit.
So what does he do? What else? He starts a blog.
His website iamfacingforeclosure.com launched last year wherein he shares his financial troubles and then some. He posts his bank statements, financial spreadsheets and is blatantly honest over his cheating on mortgage application as well as his outright refusal to get a job: forcing his wife to clean homes to pay for food and rent.
Settling In…

Hello VOXers. We’re a design studio in North Hollywood, right on the corner of Lankershim and Magnolia (you know the one – where Julia Roberts got clocked taking an illegal left in Erin Brockovitch). We’ve been evaluating new blogging packages for internal company collaboration. VOX has such a great feel to it that we decided to experiment a bit by creating an open forum for both our employees and our friends to interact, collaborate and basically just have a little fun!
We’re approaching our two month anniversary in our new studio on the eighth floor of the Academy building. We wanted a big, open production floor so we removed almost all the walls and raised the ceiling to nearly the height of the helipad on the roof (we hope to someday take advantage of that, too!). We have a really nice view of the foothills, and a clear line of sight to the offices of two of our clients, Disney and NBC Universal.
Nice to meet you all. We’re looking forward to getting to know our fellow VOX-enabled design professionals and enthusiasts in the coming months. Feel free to get in touch with us if you want to chat, or have lunch in NoHo.
