Sigh. I really, really wanted to be in LA this week for SIGGRAPH 2008, but I had to design a few crappy fliers, organize some gifts, and send those over instead. News from SIGGRAPH has been all over my Google Reader these past couple of days, and it’s only day 2! You can check out […]

Earlier this week, I read about the TwitSig mug. Using the TwitSig website, you create your own Twitter image, upload it to Zazzle, and viola! You get your own Twitter mug! (image from the TwitSig Zazzle page) I immediately knew that I needed to get a mug for J, who is one of the most […]
TGIAF! (the A stands for “almost”) Is it me or was this week unbearably long? I’m still in my busy season at work so I feel especially uninspired when I come home, preferring to zone out rather than actually write anything. But I’ll be back in a few weeks…I promise! And I’ll be switching over […]

So here is my choice of the top 5 best designs from Star Wars and the inspiration behind each design. 1. Leia’s Bikini Leia’s gold […]
I have lived almost my entire life in New York and as such, grew up making fun of the “New Joisi-ans” who occupied our less popular neighboring state. “The armpit of America.” “New York wannabes.” I’ve heard (and used) them all. This lovely shirt can be purchased at CafePress. It is a bit ironic then, […]
The medication I’m currently taking prohibits alcohol and caffeine. (Okay, so I cheated twice…I am a weak creature with no self control.) I guess I didn’t realize just how much of an alcoholic and caffeine addict I can be, because people have started to notice. And they smile, or give me a little wink. Then I […]
IKEA. The post-college mecca for cheap furniture with exotic names. Did you know that there is a method to the naming madness? In 2003, Boing Boing demystified the naming scheme here. Now, you can see what you would be if you were a piece of Swedish furniture. As “Jenny,” I am a chest of drawers: […]
When J was a little kid, his parents bought him a pair of ivory chopsticks that were engraved with his name. Twenty-plus years later, they are still his favorite pair of chopsticks: When J’s parents came to the states for our wedding, they brought me a gift from Hong Kong: my own pair of ivory chopsticks, engraved with […]
I apologize for the lack of posts. There have been some not-so-great things happening in my life and I’m trying to deal with each accordingly. There will be some rough months (or even years?) ahead, so my writing will be sporadic at times. I have decided to change my weekly list of favorite links to Thursday. Thursday is my […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
