Because it's so easy to get wrong – and it's beautiful when done right. Plus I'm one of those people that always intends to cook/bake/entertain... and I have a tendency to throw my ingrediants into google and see what I can come up with.

This is like someone answered a prayer I didn't know I had.

You have to sign up, but I'm thinking already it's worth it: Gojee.

I think we should all go outside this weekend, sit in the sun and have an icee pop (which is what we called them).

Photos are it didn't happen. ;)

Freaking brilliant.

Yes, exactly... WTF?!

Ok, so I know I haven't been so good with original content here lately — but I have what I *think* is exciting news.

Posters that me and our copywriter did won a District 3 Gold ADDY, which is awesome. But somehow they also won Best of Show! I know, right?!

We found out yesterday and as soon as a press release goes out (soon I hope) I will update this post with the posters. :)

*UPDATED WITH POSTERS. :) 4.12.2011

And I LOVE it. Watch Part 1 here and Part 3.

My blog is officially 4 years old today. Time flies.

Thank you to jetpacks & fred for supporting me when I first started and for anyone who still reads it.

Thanks to CrunchGear, I have a new shop to drool over.

Vetted has super cool, minimalist-style goods.

And I'm now spending my paycheck in my head.

Enjoy The Many Faces of... Leonardo Dicaprio.

Check out the other ones too. :)

Agreeing with Shaun that the bottle is ugly (And the name's a little hokey). But the concept is very cool and I like the execution of that. Doubt I'll buy it, but I'll watch the video over and over. :)

I love the art direction/execution on these. But I think we know my affinity for paper cut outs. :) Either way this is gorgeous and I wish I could finally convince a client to let me do it.

BTW – I already had tags for every single one of these. I am THAT awesome™.

Yo Nissan I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but VW has the best car commercial of all time.

I really did think this was my favorite car commercial of all time:


But, I think it's been replaced:


I'm a sucker for Star Wars.

This is absolutely beautiful.

It's always fun to see three favorite things together. (Legos, stop-motion and an awesome™ mustache)



I always had to go to a friend's house to build the really cool stuff – like pirate ships and space stations. This makes me want to go out and buy the stuff I never had as a kid and spend the weekend with my nose in some Lego directions.

I LIKE this logo.

Seriously. And I'm not one for the "people holding hands" theme. If someone wants that or suggests it for a logo I usually ignore them. So in my opinion, they took the hokiest concept and made it quite pleasing... not like that other... thing.

See more about the logo at Brand New.

Well, when I set my alarm there wasn't a cloud in the sky. And I just figured I'd take pictures when I woke back up. Sadly, I didn't get to see it. At least I don't live in 1554... I'd be out of luck. ;)

Tilt-shift photography is "the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene."

You non-Luddites can fake it in Photoshop.

I caught this flipping channels yesterday. TV is awesome. Or weird. No wonder our kids are screwed. This is too weird.

I wish I was out taking pictures like this. Instead... I'm too damn busy. I might have my head above water next week.

Apparently my new Droid has a good camera. Unfortunately I didn't get time to play with it before we went to the concert. I wished I'd taken my Nikon.

The one video I snuck and more photos will be up on Facebook soon. I promise.

I'm definitely not one to usually wish my life away – but damn this picture makes me want October. I think I'll be 50 and I'll be measuring my life in Octobers.

Two of my favorite internet friends (whom I do like more than most of my real-life friends I have to confess) are super-talented.

Fred's got a new song out which I kept on repeat for an entire day. I highly recommend downloading it and singing along.

And Jetpacks has an awesome song... about jetpacks that I missed in April. But I've remedied that and have it stuck in my head. It's appropriate since all this weekend I wished I had a robot to clean my bathroom floor.

Mind (mine) looks likes a bit like Sylvia Plachy's. :)
