Jazz Up Your Drink

Rock out your drinks with these "Cool Jazz" guitar-shaped ice stirrers by Fred & Friends! I think this is just the thing I need to throw Rock Band parties.

You can get them from Amazon or from an approved retailer.

iPhone Halloween Costume

These guys modified 42" LCD televisions to dress up for Halloween as life-size iPhones with real time video output. Insane!

Happy Friday!

I'm looking forward to dinner tonight with my bff (the "b" temporarily standing for "bride"), the Village Venture (Arts & Crafts Faire in the Claremont Village), and giving a speech at Master Motivators, my Toastmasters club!

What are you guys up to this weekend?

Post-It Note Tuesday

Welcome to another round of Post-It Tuesday, hosted by Supah Mommy!

Official Trailer: Toy Story 3

Did you hear?

The Official Toy Story 3 Trailer is out.

Yep.

This movie is going to be awesome.

A Guide to Food Photography

Look what I found! An amazing walk-through on how to do food photography from Matt Wright, at wrightfood!

Matt talks about camera choices, image formats, and most importantly lighting and composition in this thorough how-to, which really only covers the basics of photography! Thanks Matt!

Me, I'm still using my little Canon PowerShot (which I love, actually) but I'm definitely going to make good use of the tips on lighting.

Suburbian Bunny

On my way out to pilates this morning, I found this little friend at the edge of my driveway!

The only wild bunnies I've ever seen in a city are the little brown ones (mostly on college campuses and in parks) and I was all the more surprised because my area is really sparse when it comes to woodland creatures, so I'm thinking this may be someone's pet.

My bunny friend bounded off before I got to the end of the driveway so I guess I'll never find out where he/she came from.

Duct Tape Queen of Hearts

Geeks love their duct tape - even to the point of buying duct tape wallets (or DIY if you are true to the art) and creating duct tape prom outfits with grand prize scholarships.

Check out this amazing Queen of Hearts dress from appropriately-named Deviant Artist Duck Tape Bandit (also the dress model).

Yes, even the lacing is made of duct tape. Her deviantart also includes fabulous bouquets, purses, and even corsets all made out of -- you guessed it -- duct tape.
