Revisiting joie de vivre

After the dust finally settled on our move, we started unpacking – both physically and mentally. One of the boxes in the back of my mind was on the Vintage shelf, where I store my love for many things vintage, retro, antique and timeless.
My love affair with all of that was rekindled [...]

The Kindle

So.
Kindle.
I am not familiar with the history behind that name, or much else with that product besides it being an e-book reader. (Researching it will make me want one even more.) The response to this product has reminded me greatly of the thoughts from when mp3 players started to arrive on the scene. [...]

Jesus Vs the Dinos – link exchange

Starting you off with a balanced breakfast of 100 Links to Inspire Your Designs, courtesy of Mashable.com.
In other news: a tuatara!
Also, some folks at a church said they saw the face of Jesus in a seat cushion. Uh, that looks more like a Golem to me, but whatever works, I guess.

Bookmarks and coffee

Cereal.
Coffee.
At work, consuming both, and taking a moment to myself before heading into the plethora of tasks ahead of me. Though I enjoy my Sundays off – allowing myself to overindulge on laziness, cuddling, and day-long brunch – being in the office isn’t bad either. It’s usually quiet enough to get real work [...]

The Struggles of a New Year

Over the past few months I’ve been working on my company’s website. Essentially what they had going on was the same content (and layout) they’d had for the past six years, and in those six years there were only a handful of changes made. The webmaster had built a somewhat user-friendly access portal that [...]

Stephen Colbert Tells Kanye To Sit Down & Shut Up

…praise the lord!
I won’t even get into a full rant, because that would require too much energy. He just needs to go away now. My bitterness towards him might not be so overwhelming if my neighbors didn’t play his crap every weekend on the same looping playlist with MIA and Daft Punk and [...]

Teakettles, Vampires, and Anti-WSYIWYG

This is the ‘manic’ stage of my bipolarity. Despite dealing with (being bipolar) for more than half my life, that word still looks silly to me. Nonsensical. Still, there it is, and there I am. If you’ve followed my blogging for more than six months, you might be able to [...]

Chinese Democracy – Guns n’ Roses

More like a Chinese fire drill, I’m not impressed. Thirteen years, countless line-up changes, and this is what you have to show for it, Axl? It’s not all bad; there are several songs worth taking a listen to. However, most of the album sounds like 80’s hair music. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong here, [...]

Oh Em… Ee?

In case you haven’t heard……….. there’s this whole “TWILIGHT INSANITY”. Apparently Robert Pattinson is the man of the moment.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s very nice to look at, but he is an actor. An actor! You remember Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies? Yeah. That guy. [...]
