A compelling concept by artist Chris Hill (and one that might ruin your view of Disney princesses).

If Fonts Were Dogs
I know that I do my fair share of Comic Sans bashing on this blog, and I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for the ubiquitous typeface from time to time. But when I saw this in my Google Reader this morning, I almost spit out my drink and knew that I had to share […]
Blog Announcement
I have stated in the past that I do not make money from blogging. Actually, I make some money from linking via Amazon Associates.

Household Help
I have a confession to make. Before I became a mother, I used to look down on SAHMs with housekeepers and/or nannies. “You stay at home all day,” I thought to myself. “Can’t you clean when the baby’s sleeping? And why would you need help raising a kid?” This, like many other pre-conceived notions of […]
The Internet as Manhattan Neighborhoods
Amanda Peyton, the creator of geo-blogging site MessageParty, has designed a map of internet services based on Manhattan and its neighborhoods: The reasoning behind each placement is as follows: Twitter + Wall Street: Frenetic, Jumbled, Terse, but incredibly powerful Foursquare + East Village: The roots of the service were in the EV and the best […]
The Development of the Camera [Infographic]
This one is for my photographer friends. Created by Mashable in conjunction with Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®, it sure makes me nostalgic about the cameras of my past.
