Japanese Blood Typing [Infographic]

Like Japan, Korea also has an obsession with blood typing. Celebrity profiles include blood types along with height, weight, and interests. Dating/matchmaking service questionnaires always include blood type as one of the first questions. Casual social interactions usually include the exchange of blood type information. And my mother about had a cow when she discovered […]

The Trend Toward 3-D Movies

Last night, J and I went on a “dinner and a movie” date night: a delicious meal at Red Lobster (I swear that their commercials are targeted for pregnant women!) and a late-night show of Inception (GREAT movie btw…perhaps the best I’ve seen all year!). While sitting through the previews, we couldn’t help but take special […]

The Return to Facebook

I will let this status update speak for itself… However, the main (and very selfish) reason for my re-activating my account is to easily share pictures and updates with family and close friends once the baby arrives. I probably won’t update nearly as much, and will go through my friends list to set different privacy settings. […]

Model Kit Business Cards

I wish I knew someone who works at Tamiya, the Japanese model-kit company, so they’d give me one of their business cards! At first glance the “cards” look like fancy stencilwork. However, once you break the letters from the frame and snap them together, you can either end up with a Formula One car, a warship, […]

Blink [Android App of the Day]

Ever since I got my first Android phone I had been wondering if there is a way (outside of hacking the phone) for me to customize the color of the blinking LED notification light depending on the type of notification. Well, as they say, there’s an app for that. Blink, released last week, allows you […]

First Full-Length Trailer for ‘The Social Network’

I have to admit that one of the main reasons I was intrigued by the upcoming movie The Social Network is due to the fact that the campus scenes were filmed at my old alma mater. Although two trailers had been released previously, they barely showed any scenes from the actual movie. So imagine my […]

Twitter Wall Decals

Yiying Lu, the designer behind the iconic “Fail Whale” graphic, has just released a beautiful new series of repositionable wall graphics produced by LTL Prints. I think these would make a wonderful geeky addition to a child’s room — don’t you agree? Unfortunately, they would clash horribly with the current decor of our home. Maybe next time.
