Hey there, I'm Alex. I'm a designer in southeast Michigan that enjoys programming, screen printing, and riding my bike. I currently work as the Senior Web Designer for the University of Michigan College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

My favorite fortune cooke fortune ever says "There is no secret to success except hard work."

I keep it in my wallet.

Last and most interesting Czech stamp of the series, 1963.  The illustration of the spacecraft is a bit embellished from the actual design of the Vostok 5.  Still though, it’s a great illustration. This stamp must have been issued some time post-June as the correct dates for the mission are in the illustration.  The mission was originally planned to encompass 8 days but was forced to end early when the waste disposal system stopped working.  Regardless, the record for longest solo spaceflight was set on this mission and still stands.
