Unevolved Brands is a Tumblr blog featuring popular logos that are simplified to circles. It just goes to show that the strongest, most memorable brands can be easily recognized even through basic shapes. However, I was disappointed in myself to realize that I was only able to identify 2/3 of the brands below. How many can you recognize? Via Gizmodo. ...
Continue readingIf you recall, we had gone to the hospital on the evening of September 29, only to be sent back home because I was only 1cm dilated and showed no signs of progress. And while I had been getting regular contractions, they tapered off by about 4am on the morning on September 30, leading me to believe that I had, in fact, experienced false labor. Disappointed, I closed my eyes once more, determined to get some sleep. That, it turns out, was a great idea because I would require as much rest as possible for the approaching day...
Continue readingJane is an up-and-coming photographer who recently documented her friend Sung's pre-wedding photo shoot. I hope you enjoy the photos and the accompanying story as much as I did! A couple weekends ago, my friend Julie and I went to give moral support to our friend Sung and James as they took their pre-wedding photos in our nation's capital (more like the E-Jung Wedding Total Bridal Shop located in northern Virginia).

A fellow girl geek and a fantastic writer to boot, I truly feel honored to be able to share three of her posts in the upcoming weeks. This particular post talks about a topic I often struggle with myself, and I remember bookmarking the exact same piece from TechCrunch with the intent to blog about it. Lucky for me, Susan has done the job herself in a succinct and well-written post that is worthy of much praise. Enjoy! I work in a technology field, though sometimes my technical skills leave much to be desired; the copier at work ate one of my documents...
Continue readingWhile I may not have many friends in real life with babies, I have many online friends to whom I can turn for support, commiseration, and questions. Creature Gorgeous is just one of these friends, and we have developed quite a bond entering motherhood for the first time with our pregnancies just 8 weeks apart. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous (even at 8 months pregnant!) with one of those "basketball bump" bellies that all pregnant women long for, she is kind, oozes intelligence and charm, stylish, and a great blogger to boot. Here, she writes about her thoughts on her pregnancy and impending motherhood. Enjoy! Note: This post was written three weeks ago so the dates are a bit off. Creature Gorgeous...
