Hi, I'm just a crazy writer who spends too much time online.
BEST Geek Cake Yet
A hardcore detailed Mario wedding cake. My honey wants one of these for our wedding now. Seriously though, I couldn’t make myself cut that cake…it’s just too cool. Neatorama has more details.
I’m in Love…With A Shirt
To be more specific, this absolutely, wonderful kitty laser vission shirt made by Threadless. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Threadless. If you wanna see more, visit www.threadless.com.
Cutest things EVER.
Dales Designs made an absolutely adorable baby animal alphabet.
I only wish he’d now make a LOL version.
Oh how I love my LOLZ. And baby animals. Together….they can take down the world.
If Daily Goodness Here Isn’t Enough
Perhaps a daily dose of music you’ve probably never heard before will do the trick. 365 is a really cool music project logging and tracking the weirdest and most obscure music in the universe -one song a day for 365 days a year. 2007 and 2003 are already completed. I hope there’s some great stuff in line for 2008.
Here’s some tunes du jour if you’re interested in hearing something new.
I’m kinda digging my b-Day songs as well.
Art For the Sophisticated 4 Year-Old
Really, these pieces of art, no pun intended, are fantastic. They are the most intellectual Lego art works I’ve ever seen in my life -no, that’s not saying much. Legoland has nothing on Nathan Sawaya.
I absolutely love them and wish they weren’t on such a crappy tour schedule around America.
Seriously, your only California stop is Redding? Redding? Lame! Ever hear of Los Angeles or San Francisco? Maybe even San Diego, home of LEGOLAND? Think about it.
