Although I thoroughly suck at science, I received a chemistry kit as a present one birthday some twenty years ago and loved it for years on end. J owned multiple chemistry kits as a child and also has fond memories of mixing strange compounds together and “blowing sh*t up.” We fully intend on gifting our children with […]
Although this ad campaign is a few years old, I love the brilliance and simplicity of the ads. Seeing the simple shapes casting creative shadows, we are reminded that it is our imagination that keeps Lego blocks alive, and that we are capable of building anything. Via Bit Rebels.

As the USA vs England match aired this past Saturday afternoon, we had a dozen rowdy guys — evenly rooting for either team — screaming their heads off and creating all sorts of drunken debauchery in our living room.

I think I’m the only Asian girl I know who has never been into Hello Kitty. However, I’ve decided to share these illustrations by Joseph Senior because I’m sure there are tons of Hello Kitty fans among my readers. Plus, it’s not every day you see Hello Kitty dressed as Jason (of Friday the Thirteenth fame). Or as […]
One of the things I miss most about working in an office environment is the plethora of office/desktop toys I used to have lying around my desk (ie, my collection of Star Wars Mr. Potatoheads). So I live vicariously through J. I have gifted him many office toys over the years, including a Red Swingline Stapler (à la Office […]
I used to love the boardgame Monopoly. I really did. My friends and I would play well into the night, and whenever a game looked like it would last longer than our tuckered-out bodies, we would take a picture of the board (so that no one would be tempted to cheat), grab our colorful paper […]
I have always had a soft spot for architecture. I mean, who hasn’t seriously considered becoming an architect after reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead? And as cliché as it sounds, Frank Lloyd Wright has always been my favorite architect and Fallingwater my favorite residential building. Visiting Fallingwater has been on my to-do list for over […]
Muji has launched some remarkable kits combining paper cut-outs with Lego pieces. I have no idea when these will become available stateside, but I have no doubt that they will follow in the success of Muji’s minimalist (but highly functional) stationery, as well as their popular City in a Bag wooden toy sets. > Hit […]
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.
