Stephanie returns with the third and final installment to her Halloween series, and this time she focuses on a topic that would make anyone salivate: food! Enjoy! As with any real shindig, it’s not a party until you are snackin’ on something delicious. In light of that, here are some manageable and scrumptious treats for […]
Guest Post: Comic-Con — The Real Deal
New York may have its own Comic-Con (which unfortunately coincided with a new baby this year), but nothing can compare to the original and the best: San Diego Comic-Con. J and I always said that we will make a trip out to the West Coast one year to partake in its magnificence, but now that we […]
Guest Post: Geeky Halloween Costumes for Babies
I had considered dressing Claire in a fun geeky costume this year for Halloween (this Yoda costume comes to mind) but a newborn who can’t even support her own head takes some of the fun out of the process. Luckily, Stephanie came to the rescue — last time, she enthralled us with geeky Halloween costumes and she […]

Lego Mega Man
Graphic artist Raphael Phillips has combined the beloved Mega Man with my favorite childhood toy: Lego. The imagining of these two fantastically geeky worlds can be seen over at The 8-bit Cubist, where Phillips not only depicts the original Mega Man particularly well (and instantly recognizable), Mega Man’s various powers are also beautifully rendered. I would […]
Captcha Advertisements: Brilliantly Evil
I hate Captcha systems and find them extremely irritating. It’s not only the act of having to type out the characters on screen, but the fact that deciphering some Captcha systems can be immensely difficult makes me feel less of a human somehow. (Because you know, the whole point of having Captcha systems in place is […]
Perfume That Smells Like a Library
Once again I am forced to wonder why anyone hasn’t thought of this before. Brooklyn perfumery I Hate Perfume has released a scent called “In the Library” that is inspired by the smells of libraries and books. According to perfumer Christopher Brosius, “these scents mean Excitement, Adventure, Discovery, Enlightenment and Knowledge.” Brosius further explains on the product page: Whenever […]
