Settlers of my heart

xlarge_untitled-1_11

yay! You’re back! Hi, sorry to bug you about posting all the time but obviously now that you have someone else to post, I’m finding lots of things that you would like 1. The most beautiful Settlers of Catan board you will ever see: Look at it! Look at it!! Is that not just the most beautiful board game ever? I want to learn how to carve wood like this just so I can make one for every board game… 2. Just woah… 3. Illustrations from the 1949 edition of Alice [...] Read More

Watermelon Flowers

NateHallinan_SmurfSighting

Hi honey, on this day of stress, hopefully I can distract you for a couple seconds. You have no idea how hard it’s been for me to keep myself from showing you these things in person, but they’re good ones so I saved them. Have you ever wondered how they make those amazing carved fruit or vegetable flowers? Wonder no more! Neat huh? I’d feel bad eating that watermelon… Here is the one that I’ve been saving for a while though: “What if smurfs were real?” This and other amazing [...] Read More

“My Style”: The Ultimate Design Question

Tracery Interiors

Hi Honey! Thanks for a happy birthday yesterday! I have birthday hangover for sure. I am sad I have to wait a whole year for it to come around again…. So I am bingeing on design quizzes to relieve my frown-y face. It seems that there is never a shortage of “what’s your style” quizzes. Which are fun of course, but what about “what new trend should you subtly try” or “what do people feel when in your home” or “what shelter magazine should you read”? Apparently we can’t move on to such things until we [...] Read More

Sorry I’ve been so slow about posting, I haven’t had much saved because I keep showing you things instead of posting them… First up, Sex! Or at least a really cool interactive infographic about it. It only had a sample size of 1000 people who watch a sex talk show on TV so not that accurate statistically but still very interesting (The interactive version is at the link above): Next, a Doghouse Diaries cartoon that definitely applies to your digital life: “Why invisible is the only safe place on Gchat” And [...] Read More

Taking Flight on a Cricket ASAP

Picture 3

Hello hello. I have been just stacking things up waiting for you to post! And Im so glad you did. I read every word of the google plus bit (shocker) but I am still totally confused. What is a huddle? It doesn’t explain anything to just use different random words. In my imagination this is how my conversation with a google god would go down. Me: “What is this huddle business?” GG:”Why thats our new squatting feature.” Me:”What is squatting?” GG:”Thats when multiple seedlings do a rain dance to get [...] Read More

Hi honey, sorry I haven’t posted in a while… …did you know that I’m excited to move in with you? Okay here are a couple quick links so you can post your stash: Pandora is on the verge of rolling out a pretty new design: There is some technical stuff that’s really cool but the most important thing and what you’ll actually care about is that it’s better to look at and easier to use. Here is another web thing, an infographic comparing Facebook to Google+. Might be helpful for [...] Read More

Hi honey, So sorry for my long absence.

Im quite pleased with the vertical siding and the white [...] Read More

Hi Chipmunk Fern, Remember last night when you were annoyed about all the steps between your CD and your iPod? Yeah well it turns out lots of people agree with you. If you want to hear all your complaints said in a really smart techy way, check out Darren Murph’s article on Engadget: “Hey Apple, why does it take an hour to put an album on my iPod?“     Moving on, and getting closer to things you will actually like. Remember Borderlands? It’s a cartoony looking first person shooter game that [...] Read More

Hi Love, Like my pun? So clever. Today, I’d like to honor the spring that has suddenly sprung and all that means to me…. bunnies, candy, decorated eggs, flowers, grass and DRESSES! Yay. Not that dresses aren’t an all year thing, but they seem extra special this time of year… Anyways… First up is this very special bunny I have just come across. Her name is Fifi, she has a blog and finds her fashion inspiration right off the runways. You think I am joking right? I am not. Here [...] Read More
