Plugged in.
Personalization-happy iPhone users will like this collection of 100 (really) beautiful iPhone wallpapers. I’ve had about a month now to become completely dependent on my own iPhone, and of course went through the designs and culled out my favo...
New Nervous System.
I first blogged about Nervous System about a year ago - since then, they’ve introduced a couple of new collections based on the morphology of orchids and algae. Leave it to the pair behind these designs to rethink these forms into something ne...
I am what I… am served in targeted interwebs ad placements?
Working at a digital advertising agency makes me hyperaware of the targeted content I am served on the interwebs. Usually, and to my chagrin, the Face likes to serve me ads like “25 and sick of your love handles?” with truly unappealing ...
I am an unstoppable genius.
On Friday evening I was rushing around after work, getting ready to go out for Christine’s birthday dinner. I rummaged in my closet for whatever wrapping paper I had lying about, packaged up her gift, and threw in the Egg Press card (available...
Light metals.
Check out these Jalea Jalea pendants, delicately rendered in a variety of metals by designer Tatiana Sánchez (dodecahedron on the left, nerve cell on the right). They are happily reminiscent of the math- and biology-flavored Nervous System pieces I...
Like reading my secret soul.
I’ve always liked tag clouds (must be the unholy mashup of word nerd and computer scientist), but Wordle’s are the prettiest I’ve seen. Here are some of mine. (Who knew “wine” would be such a big one? Seriously?) Sha...
Keyboard shortcuts.
My life would be a lot more harrowing if it weren’t for keyboard shortcuts. During the workday I’m all about Excel shortcuts (Alt-E-S-V, anyone? - that’s “paste values” for the uninitiated), but while prepping a blog po...
I facestalk you every day.
O, the world we live in… This is based on a gchat I actually had. I’m guessing this speaks to more people than would readily admit it. To send this to a stalkee, you’ll need: 4-bar folded cards in Superfine White my card-sized ...
Mariella Designs.
Take a peek at these! Amy Branch over at Mariella Designs sent me these beautifully detailed, nature-inspired samples this week (much to my own personal, as well as blognerd, delight). Each card is printed with soy-based inks on recycled, luxurious...
Eat and learn.
Earlier this week I found these a-ma-zing linen napkins at Anthropologie in the Back Bay from interior designer Sheila Bridges, and picked up ones for Italy, Spain, South Africa, and India. (Here they are, spread out on my spacious new desk(!).) I ...
Earmark.
Love the varied styles of paper goods over at Earmark - I’ve found everything from sweet to cheeky to vintage to classic. Here is a sampling (and obviously, I’m nursing a soft spot for the Geek Love notecard). Check out their Etsy shop ...
Tara Donovan at the Met.
Art and science collide again in Tara Donovan’s exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, on view through April 27. Donovan uses mundane materials (think styrofoam cups, straws, or loops of tape) to create sensual sculptural la...
Random Creative.
So I was Googling myself today (yes I do it from time to time; I’ll admit it) and discovered that I’ve been added to Random Creative’s list! What is Random Creative, you ask? This is a no-frills list of exceptional creative websit...
