My kind of phone bling

There are scads of accessories and phone charms for mobile phones. I haven’t been much into it except for a case or two (and that is just to protect my precious). I may, however, make an exception for these. When I saw these mopods for my phone I really did think “I must have [...]

102 uses for a microwave

The folks over at U-Starvin were kind enough to experiment on all sorts of strange items in their microwave. I do have a couple of questions for them on their experiments:

exactly how much alcohol was consumed prior to thinking this was a good idea?
was anyone aware of exactly how toxic burning plastic can be?
how many [...]

Who knew

I spent part of my evening last night at a local hangout. Someone managed to notice my iPhone wallpaper which is currently the “TARDIS in Trouble” from the Icon Factory.
The conversation went something like this:
him: “cool - the TARDIS”
me: “yeah - you a fan?”
him: “oh yeah - Who is your favorite Doctor?”
me: “Jon Pertwee”
him: [...]

Shake what?!?

According to Best Life Magazine, there are 8 foods you should eat everyday for optimal nutrition. All I could think of after reading it was: mmmmm… how about a oatmeal, tomato, blueberry smoothie (not).

Love this…

What do you do when your child has tested your limits? Test theirs and laugh.
This is something along the lines of what I could see my sister doing to one of her five children if they ever crossed her.
Although not relevant to the rest of the story - my favorite quote from the post is [...]

Women of the Underworld Series

This summer I read the Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. It was a great series. It had all the things I love about reading: strong women, action, adventure, sex and magic. The stories were well written. The characters were real. Each book built on the last one without being too dependent on [...]

PostSecret Mini Movie

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
Frank over at PostSecret has created a mini movie that includes some of the secrets that have been sent to him over the years. The movie is beautiful and the music (’Breathe Me’ by Sia ) is hauntingly appropriate.
I’ve been a longtime visitor to [...]

What’s in a name?

Steve over at Biker News Online had a harder time admitting that he was a biker than he did admitting that he was a geek. He is even on a 12 step program to admit that he is a biker. From his post:
Actually, before I use the word “biker”, I’d like to say that I [...]

The price of beauty?

This picture is of the end result of something very, very wrong. What looks like a very nice tattoo, turns into something completely sick when you see how it was done.
The girl in this photo had the design carved into her skin. Who would have ever guessed that having your skin carved would be [...]

What does your coffee say about you?

I found out today from the Oracle that I am clueless. I believe whole heartedly that it is true because it came from an Oracle. You must always take anything to heart that comes from something of a higher power.
Here is the quote from the Oracle of Starbucks
Behold the Oracle’s wisdom:Personality type: Clueless
You don’t go [...]
