I missed the Grammys, on purpose. It's probably hard to imagine that a music lover would miss the industry's "big night" but I simply cannot stand most award shows and prefer to get the most bang for my buck by just getting my flavor for the long events in wrap-up reports and fashion recaps.

Imagine my surprise this morning when I trolled CNN's photos from the event and saw that Chicago's very own gold digger avoider -- and apparently graphic design dabbler -- not only won (as expected) but that he incorporated typography into his acceptance speech. Clever sentiment and nice typesetting! Very cool.
