The aftermath

This is how the bottom of my car looked after the $200 steam clean. Why? Well, on the way to Panorama for the heli ski trip, we hit a deer. Ok, we didn’t hit it, we ran over it (it was already dead), and it was relatively small (although we definitely felt it under the …

chair, blinds, rods, colour

Love this chair from Sprout Homes, and at $36, quite affordable. I’m guessing that slightly less affordable are these Roman shades from Hunter Douglas, although they do look nice. If you can’t afford those, why not hang your own curtains with some ingenuity? I’ve seen this site around for a while now, and love it …

dvider, bordzup, boogers

 Need to separate some space?  Dvider comes to the rescue. If you’re like me, you have a couple of snowboards, and what better than to put them on display? Or, if you don’t like the vertical mount, you can use this to orient it however you want.

fmj, helvetica, bosses, chat

One of the all time greatest dialogs (in my opinion) from the Kubrick classic Full Metal Jacket, presented in an interesting (militaristic) typeface, along with other illustrations. For the designers out there, and those who are interested in typography, Helvetica the movie takes an interesting look at possibly THE most successful typeface that’s out there …

cake, bookmark, curtain, drunk

Someone made an edible version of the Kindle, but I’d still want the real thing. Since I don’t yet have a Kindle, I still have read books old school style, which is why I find this bookmark particularly interesting. There are usually a lot of text in books, which can all be used when creating …

leprechauns, monsters, rc planes, treehouses

Although the Irish bishops moved St. Patrick’s day to the 15th this year, today is still the official celebrations, and what better than the leprechaun “spotted” in Mobile (this is from 1 1/2 years ago, but always funny) to remind us of the Irish traditions. If the leprechaun isn’t enough, here’s another green monster named …

steam, art, memoirs

The superclean!!! It uses steam to clean anything! I need to get one of these to clean our bathroom. While I’m buying stuff, I should go back and look at Chris Jordan’s photographs of american consumerism on a massive scale. But what is art without fiction? After the likes of James Frey (A Million Little …

erwin, vermont, serveillance, java

Studio Erwin Olaf, some interesting and couturish portraits. Speaking of boy scouts, Dick Cheney was a boy scout, and now he (and GWB) can’t go to Brattleboro, or Marlboro, VT, since voters there approved to instruct police to arrest George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for “crimes against our Constitution,”. But that’s okay, since they …
