Remember all through the 2000′s, when you’d get those souvenir glasses where the zeroes formed the eyeholes? It’s been two years now since those were an option. Sigh. Sure at first, they seemed gimmicky and obvious. Yet, now they can never come back into our design vocabulary. That’s a bit sad.

Nostalgia…that longing for a time we can never return to.

As we stand on the platform of 2011, waiting for 2012 to roll into the station, let’s take a moment to observe all the great things that happened to us this year. Then, turn our focus to the future. Because, we don’t need gimmicky glasses.

Cheers. Let’s raise new glasses to 2012, and to us.
