Ricky Van Veen's GET EXCITED

June 13, 2010

Zach and Courtney got me into baking. I’ve been doing a bunch of it, but I’m completely terrible at it. I guess I’ll know I’ve improved when I stop wondering afterwards if the recipe I got online was a prank.

Here’s a key lime pie where the filling fills a pathetic 40% of the crust.

Last night we threw a party to celebrate the launch of DumbDumb, a new company headed by Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, where they create content for advertisers. CollegeHumor produces the videos with the guys and helps with marketing, distribution, etc. Here’s a link to their first short, made for Wrigley’s, which also stars Rachel Harris and Aubrey Plaza.

Stefan Sagmeister’s List of “Things I Have Learned”

Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid, I have to live now.
Being not truthful works against me.
Helping other people helps me.
Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
Everything I do always comes back to me.
Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
Over time I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
Money does not make me happy.
Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
Assuming is stifling.
Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
Trying to look good limits my life.
Worrying solves nothing.
Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doeses.
Having guts always works out for me.

Lost nerds 4 life.
