Business cards that save trees

May 24, 2009

1

I recently ordered my business cards from Moo, which is perhaps the coolest business card company in the world.  They have what’s called calling cards, which are half the size of traditional business cards.  One side displays your personal details, the other a picture of your choice – you can either upload your own or… [Read more…]

Digital soaps

May 12, 2009

Back in the old days, I lived with my younger brother and we only had one computer in the household.  It was a daily battle.  Not because we had to compete for it – my brother was always willing to give it up if I needed to use it – but because I would find… [Read more…]

Swine flu is spreading and the media is cashing in on it, but if you`re like some of these Etsy artists, you`ll know better than jumping on the panic bandwagon.  So beware of CDC H1N1, but as long as you keep your hygiene standards out of the bin, everything will be awwwwlright.   Click on the picture to… [Read more…]

The Treehouse Guy

Like the Simpsons’ kids, you might have had a treehouse when you were growing up.  I’m talking about Homer’s, not OJ’s, by the way.  As for me, the extent of having that private space just for myself was a make shift tent that consisted of a piano bench covered by a blanket.  Nowadays, though, treehouses… [Read more…]

Paranoid about losing Polaroid?

April 29, 2009

If you’ve never owned any other camera but the digital types, chances are you don’t have that much memory about Polaroid.  And it’s probably too late now to start getting to know it, since the company is on the brink of bankruptcy. A lot of people my age and older, however, have fond memories of… [Read more…]

Does this picture remind you of something? Yes!  It’s the famous “Le Baiser de l’Hotel de Ville” 1950 photograph by Robert Doisneau! Amazing, isn’t it?  The lego/photography work is by Italian artist Marco Pece or known as Udronotto.  Check out his other lego renditions of famous artwork on his Flickr page.  I am particularly delighted… [Read more…]

Great sound, fashion faux-pas?

Every time I see someone with a bluetooth hanging over their ear, distasteful adjectives immediately come to mind.  So when my boyfriend broke his cellphone earpiece recently and suggested he should get a bluetooth, I wasted no time launching a series of well-rehearsed verbal attacks against it, the kind that makes you think that bluetooth’s… [Read more…]

A magazine a day..

April 21, 2009

I used to buy magazines every week until I started working and realized how expensive that habit was.  So I stopped and just bought magazines occasionally.  I’ve recently revived that habit and feel that my life is a little bit richer since (sounds lame, I know).  Inevitably, I’m starting to have a pile of magazines… [Read more…]

Tit-tendo?

As a child, I used to spend hours playing Super Mario Bros with my little brother on the nintendo.  As an adult, I have just been exposed to the most intriguing use of the machine. Would anybody really wear that outside?  To me this accessory doesn’t exactly scream ‘comfortable’.  Not to mention it’s rather ugly,… [Read more…]
