While sites such as Ohdeedoh are wonderful for nursery inspiration and exposure to baby/kid-oriented furniture and decor, it’s no secret that the majority of the stuff they feature are…well, expensive. It was never our intention to go all-out on Claire’s nursery, the reasons being that the rest of our condo doesn’t contain high-end furniture (95% […]
This year’s QI Annual includes an awesome cartoon by Justin Pollard, John Lloyd and Stevyn Colgan: IKEA’s instructions for the iconic prehistoric monument. I love the caption at the bottom, which reads: Important! Ensure all components are free from mud, dung and evil spirits before assembly. Wear appropriate safety equipment (spear, flint knife etc.) in […]
SeoulBeats writes: There was a great story about Kpop and how it is becoming a legitimate global force in the music industry on Monocle, an hour long show about international news, culture, and design run by the same team that runs the magazine of the same name for Bloomberg.

I’m not sure exactly why, but this year’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest didn’t seem to be as good as the previous years. While there is no doubt that Blake Griffin’s winning dunk was impressive, it just seemed too gimmicky and a bit over-the-top. Anyhow, I happened upon a neat visualization that lists all the slam […]
It has now been exactly one week since we started sleep-training Claire. Although we haven’t made any miraculous changes to her sleeping habits, her sleeping has certainly gotten better. Starting Friday, she has started to take at least 1+ hour nap per day and only protests napping in her crib about 20% of the time. […]
Conducting online keyword searches for world-famous monuments and tourist hotspots, visual artist Corinne Vionnet culled thousands of tourists’ snapshots for her series Photo Opportunities. Each image in the series was created by superimposing hundreds of pictures of the monuments — the effect is quite haunting and ethereal, and inevitably wistful. Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Moscow Tiananmen […]
No matter how angry, upset, or frustrated she makes me, I can never stay mad at her for too long. Especially when I catch her sleeping like this. (I am currently lying in bed, about to doze off myself. Nap-training doesn’t seem to be getting much better, but I have renewed hope after reading a […]
We’ve having more issues on the baby front. I’m too stressed and drained to blog. I’ll be back when things get better. (And if anyone has any recommendations on how to get a baby to nap more than 30 mins at a time so that she’s not tired and cranky the entire day, I’d love […]
Androidify is a free app in the Android Market which allows you to craft your own version of the Android robot. Yes, it is yet another “create your own avatar” application, but it’s pretty amusing for Android fans such as myself. There is even an option to add a baby Android robot — Here is […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you have a special someone to celebrate V-Day with or not, I hope that your day is filled with love, laughter, and cheer. (And just in case you’re wondering, the title of this post is the word “love” in binary code.) You may also like: The Neverending Period My Top 7 […]
