I wish I could type a flapping bird wing noise here.

A lot of people are freaked out by birds. Me, I love 'em. So this wallpaper caught my eye. Beautiful. I wish I could post a larger pic.

This made me laugh. I'm guessing this is a first in presidential history.

Help Save Handmade Toys.

If you're a fan of handmade toys, you might want to take a minute to vote to amend the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).


In August 2008, after numerous incidents of unsafe toys imported from China, Congress passed the CPSIA to hold manufacturers accountable for ensuring their toys are safe. Unfortunately, the act, as written, does not exempt small businesses (such as Etsy sellers) from the same expensive testing and labeling standards as large manufacturers.

The Act goes into effect February 10, so please act now. Thanks!

The Dark Knight should use this poster

Young British designer and illustrator Olly Moss has some sleeky works. His clients include the New York Times, Computer Arts, etc. Below are some of his movie posters that I really liked. But the funniest piece (I think) is Evolver! --- scroll down to the end of the post








for a Beatles fan, this is just too funny!

All this could be yours

...for a mere $869,000 (AUD). Possibly the strangest home decor I've ever seen. It's like the owners just stepped above ground from their bomb shelter. I'm simply awestruck.
