Looking at these makes me melancholy for some reason. I think to my own loved ones and reflect on how much they have changed, and will continue to change over the years. But this sadness and nostalgia is also mixed with hope for the future. 🙂 Via Reddit. You may also like: If Disney Princesses Had […]
Fashion Designers Imagine Katniss’s Fire Dress [Hunger Games Pr0n]
InStyle magazine has recently asked some of its favorite designers to sketch their visions of Katniss Everdeen’s fire dress from the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy.

The Comic Sans Project (Tumblr Blog of the Day)
Despite the flack that Comic Sans has been getting in the recent years, I think that it may be making a comeback! Exhibit A: The hilarious essay titled “I’m Comic Sans, Asshole.“ Exhibit B: The Comic Sans Project, which takes famous logos and replaces their proprietary fonts with — you guessed it — Comic Sans.

Tiffany & Co.’s Spectacular Winter Window Display
In my pre-baby days, when I worked full-time as a marketing coordinator, my office was just one block from the famed Macy’s in Herald Square.

The Cutest (Little) Printer You’ve Ever Seen
I may be a geek and a gadget-lover, but I don’t always embrace new technology. I like to stay old-school in some aspects of my life, including my preferences of old-fashioned books over e-readers, physical keyboards over touchscreens, and even a pad & pencil over many phone apps. And this is precisely why I love the […]

As previously mentioned on this blog, J’s brother and his wife recently moved from living just 20 blocks away to all the way to the other side of the world…to Shanghai, China. Ever since I became a mother, I came to value my family more and more, and my BIL and SIL are no exception. […]
Code Cards [Expressing Your Geeky Self This Holiday Season]

The Code Cards shop also carries CSS Happy New Years cards as well as ♥ cards: Whichever design draws […]
Epic Showdown
For what it’s worth, my money is on Ron Swanson. What about you? (And you know that I would stick around for the self-defense demonstration by Dwight!) Via Reddit. P.S. — Methinks NBC should do a giant mashup special where the worlds of Dunder Mifflin, Kabletown, Pawnee, and Greendale Community College collide. Who’s with me? You […]

Just over a month ago, she very graciously lent her time and talent to decorating Claire’s first birthday party and here, she details how she created each element of the fantastic DIY decor.
