Yettaboi by any other name...

This is just totally awesome.

My mother's family is from Scandinavia, emigrated to Chicago, and my Grandfather and Grandmother came to St. Louis. That's how I landed here. I say "Scandinavia" because in the 19th century the border between Sweden and Norway changed a lot, so I'm not sure whether we're Swedish or Norwegian.

So when I was a kid, Grandpa used to come back from business trips to Chicago with the most amazing sausage ever. We called it "Summer Sausage," but he and Grandma called it something that sounded to "Yettaboi" to my young ears. They're both gone now, Grandpa in 1966, and Grandma in 1984, and the family lost track of "Yettaboi." I've asked about it over time but no one, in or outside the family, knew what I was talking about.

Flash forward to last weekend. I was having lunch with the 'rents, and Mom had picked up a little braunschweiger (a couple-of-times-a-year treat for us all!). Talk turned to "Yettaboi" once again. iPhone+Intertoobs to the rescue! Asking teh Googe about "Swedish Summer Sausage" and browsing through the results turned up "Göteborg Summer Sausage" or "Medvurst" from Sweden. Well, Göteborg is close enough to Yettaboi for me! Now I'm looking for it in St. Louis. I hope I don't have to go to Chicago for it, but I will if I have to! If this is it, it's gonna make my Mom really happy!

One of these things is not like the other...

But wait, they are!

Future of a designer - a discussion

I would like to enter a discussion into something I feel rather strongly about, so if you have time, grab a coffee and drop your two pennyworth into the mix. I would be dearly interested to read fellow designers thoughts on this matter.

The first post was made from the US, the second from Britain. I can't tell which came first, because I'm not sure if the posted times are my local time or the posters' times.
