I’m loving these Unfinished Clocks from the MoMA Store: Designed to be placed on shelves or mantles, it’s a simple and ingenius way to incorporate the functionality of a clock with its surroundings. Not to mention, the red round version would look great against my boxy black bedroom furniture… Via Popgadget. You may also like: […]

Site Re-Design
I worked on a new layout over the weekend…what do you think? The only major difference is the location of my Private Posts. Upon login, the link is now located at the top navigation bar: This is what the site used to look like before, with the Private Posts link circled on the left: A […]
