Three thoughts come to mind when viewing this infographic by the folks over at Personal Creations: I’m predicting Groot will be just as popular as Elsa this Halloween. zOMG I totally remember how everyone — especially guys — dressed as Britney Spears back in 1999! 1990 was TWENTY-FOUR years ago?!?? Via Geeks Are Sexy. You may also […]
For today’s edition of “interesting stuff I found on the web,” cartoonist James Chapman shares with us an illustrated guide to what popular TV shows are called around the world. I think I’d much rather watch a show called “In the Shoes of Satan” than plain ol’ “Breaking Bad,” wouldn’t you? Or how about “A Crazy in […]
Last week, a (rightfully) proud father’s Facebook post went viral as he shared his 8th grade son’s homework. The assignment? To create an algebraic expression into a word problem. And his son Cody’s answer (with no help from his parents)? In case you’re having trouble reading the above, it says: J.J. Abrams is making Star Wars […]
I never played with dolls as a kid. I have memories of painstakingly cutting out elaborate paper dolls and their clothes and accessories….only to discard them once I finished. I also recall constructing Barbie houses out of cardboard boxes, books, and other items we found around the house, but lost interest once the domiciles were completed. […]
The U.S. Department of Agriculture states that raising a child from birth to age 17 costs, for those in the middle-income groups, anywhere from $226,800 to $264,600. If you think that figure is large, consider the fact that those numbers do not take into account any damage (the physical kind, not emotional) the child can […]
Claire should technically still be in preschool. However, because she missed her school’s cutoff age by only a couple of months — and because she’s a bit advanced for her age — her teachers recommended she start pre-kindergarten early. (As such, she will always be one of the youngest kids in her grade.) And one of the […]
This video has been popping up on my favorite blogs since last week, but I haven’t had a chance to watch it until now. And it’s excellent. One can’t help but be utterly impressed with David Fincher afterwards. I don’t think the average movie goer notices the things that Tony Zhou points out in the […]
If you’ve ever used vector graphics programs such as Adobe Illustrator, you probably know what a Bézier curve is. But do you know how they work? (In other words, how your computer draws them?) The following video by Peter Nowell explains just how. It’s a geeky “how does it work?” instructional that is sure to captivate illustrators […]
At this time 4 years ago, I was admitted to the labor & delivery ward of Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, NJ. 11 and a half hours later, our Claire Emmanuelle entered this world. I love her for her confidence and sass. I love her for her for her curiosity, intelligence, and hilariously sharp […]
Most people would rather forget about their exes, but Sebastian Errazuriz is not like that. You see, the artist’s latest series consists of 12 intricately designed shoes that are meant to reflect 12 of his ex-lovers. Each shoe, made in conjunction with Melissa (a shoe company that has collaborated with the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld), comes […]
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.
