I find that when I choose color schemes for my designs I end up falling back to my favorite colors over and over again, so when I need variety I’ve been using Adobe’s Kuler to find color inspiration. I love the way it works with CS3 so easily, and it seems to be the […]
lauren {elycerose} on Flickr just pointed out that aluminum foil boxes have push in tabs for holding the roll in place. This is the most amazing thing I have learned all week and I can’t believe I never noticed it before. My life is now slightly easier.
If you can think of it, there is probably a Flickr group about it. I loved looking at this Flickr set of people jumping off swings. Jumping off of a swing is one of the most exhilarating feelings in the world. It was my favorite thing to do in a park. […]

Exel Energy announced that it would make Boulder, CO the first “Smart Grid City”. Which basically means they are creating some sort of energy program that is self aware and able to make itself more reliant, efficient, and greener. There’s a video on that page that explains it […]
Yes, it’s a awesome as it sounds. Wait for Cyndi Lauper, it’s the climax of the video.

‘We didn’t know how to say goodbye. We walked from his house to mine and back again, just to be together a little while longer. Boys of twelve don’t promise to write to each other. We made jokes, because we didn’t know what else to do.’
