Photoshop Magnet Kit
The handmade version may have more clout, but here’s one for the rest of us: The only thing I can suggest is that they add a cursor (and perhaps a spinning Mac ball to make it super-realistic). Get your own at ThinkGeek. You may also like: Penguin Paperback Style Covers for Video Games OMGz I […]
Shiny Happy People Piss Me Off
Sometimes I fear that there is something dreadfully wrong with me, because happy people piss me off. Share a rant, and I’ll be there to defend you. Tell a sob story and I’ll run over with tissues. But gush on and on about how fantastic life is? Not only do I find you boring, I’ll […]

In Two Hours, I’ll Be Waiting in Line…
No, not for Twilight (err, New Moon? Pale Moon?). I hate Twilight. I thought the book was so poorly written that I found the movie — which I downloaded to watch one night while battling insomnia, then trashed immediately after viewing — to be better because at least all the pages full of “staring longingly […]

I have forged amazing friendships, learned a great deal about blogging (and being a better person in general), and have found a treasure trove of inspiration for all aspects of my life.
