<p>What you've all been waiting for (I'm sure...). Being that <strong>I haven't actually put up any work since I graduated</strong> from university, it's probably about time (more likely, a little overdue). I've been busy reformatting my portfolio galleries for awhile now. I actually started around the beginning of the year, but the website was put on hold while I was in Africa. Click the image above for a sneak preview of the new gallery layout, and a few pieces that have been sitting on my back up drive, waiting to get posted. Enjoy.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/rss-comments-entry-13279586.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Words to Live by</title><category>quote</category><dc:creator>Erynn Saunders</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 Sep 2011 12:57:21 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/words-to-live-by.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">377488:4066668:12734860</guid><description><![CDATA[<blockquote>

<p>My first trip into the bush was a success. We drove southwest to Simanjero to celebrate a new school opening/fundraiser for the Maasai. The exciting part about this school is that the whole project was initiated by the Maasai themselves. Not only that, but they formed the <a href="http://www.en-kata.com/" target="_blank">En-Kata Choir</a>, which toured around the US to raise money to build it. That&rsquo;s how <a href="http://pamoja.info" target="_blank">Pamoja</a> was involved with the project. They helped get them to the states and recorded two albums with the choir to raise funds.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/rss-comments-entry-11965480.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Going to Africa</title><dc:creator>Erynn Saunders</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 30 Apr 2011 23:43:15 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/going-to-africa.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">377488:4066668:11314105</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 300px;" src="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/storage/post-images/Church%20Presentation1.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1309435878591" alt="" /></span></span>
Well, it's official. Tickets have been booked for my four month trip to to East Africa! Tanzania to be exact. For the majority of the trip, my wife and I will be living on an acreage just outside Arusha. It's a decent size city (around 1.3 million people) and is considered the de facto capital of the East African Community.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/rss-comments-entry-11314105.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Sneak Peak: You're in Good Company</title><dc:creator>Erynn Saunders</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 09 Apr 2011 16:02:39 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/news/sneak-peak-youre-in-good-company.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">377488:4066668:11102188</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2Fpost-images%2Fgcmc-mockup.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1302365073400',668,1000);"><img src="http://www.speakeasydesign.ca/storage/thumbnails/4066667-11646359-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1302365073403" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>

I'm taking the next couple days to get my bike tuned and ready to roll. Staying up with good friends till 2 in the morning, hacking away on eachother's bikes. It's amazing what you can learn from just taking things apart. This video isn't mine, but it got me stoked for what's to come this year.</p>
<p>Get out there and ride, friends.</p>

<p>A friend of mine, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jordanclarke_" target="_blank">Jordan Clarke</a>, just posted five of his favorite logos on his new blog.
