J and I caught Predators last weekend and it was awesomely bad as expected. I won’t give away any details, but I will say that there is one fantastic death scene that seemed to cause the entire theater to gasp. I’ve always been a sucker for scifi b-movies and the Predator films are no exception (yes, even the AVP movies). […]
Studies have long shown that people of different cultures act differently, but a paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology indicates that culture even affects our cognition. Take a look at the images above and try to interpret the overall emotion of the picture. Do your eyes linger on the center man in the […]
I Write Like is a nifty tool that tells you which famous writer you write like based on your word choice and writing style. All you need to do is enter into a text field a sample of your writing (at least a few paragraphs are recommended for the best results) and voila! I write […]
Where did the 27 Weeks update go? Yeah…um…about that… There was no 27th Week… *waves hand in an attempt to Jedi mind-trick my readers* Did that work? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Just blame it on the fact that I can be a moron and completely forgot to take a picture, nevermind write an update, last […]

Remember when I wrote about Swype? Since downloading what has been called “the fastest keyboard for mobile phones” my mobile life has unquestionably changed for the better. And I wasn’t the only one; I have since received many comments, emails, and tweets thanking me for writing about Swype. So imagine my surprise to learn that […]
I love the concept behind the “Blank Canvases” campaign for the AMEX Zync card! By encouraging consumers to seek out blank canvases and fill these canvases with their lives (which amount to endless possibilities), the ads evoke both inspiration and emotional attachment — both of which are vital elements in great advertising campaigns. Check out the […]
It’s amazing that a company like Yamaha would have on their website an entire section devoted to papercrafts. Each project comes complete with pictures, a brief history of the object(s), and most importantly, FREE downloadable instructions on how to create your own. Origami has always been a fun pastime of mine as it is cheap, […]
German designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen has designed a clock that seeks to give a physical manifestation to the change of time through the growth of knitted material. The circular knitting machine encased within the clock consists of 48 needles, a thread spool, a thread holder and a roll of yarn. Moving in clockwise direction, one day […]
Not unlike Missed Connections, Twaggies is a site that finds funny/interesting tweets and illustrates them to make them even more memorable. Bit Rebels says of the site: Twaggies is definitely one of those websites that you intend to check out for five minutes, and thirty minutes later you’re still laughing. Apparently, to get your tweet […]
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.
