The journals have countless pages of inspirations and ideas in them. My favorite part of this whole project is that the pages are created by ordinary people, not artist or designers. Allowing new ideas and unique and unusual concepts to emerge. It is simply brilliant.

There are still 1,000 journals circulating around the world… who knows, you could find one.

Fun, playful and creative. Love the Sumo, I’m off to buy one for my wee girl. Check out the site (LINK)

Who needs a screen, ports or even input devices? The new Apple iMac Shuffle ultimate in minimalism.

Did you know there is a formula to writing a hit pop song – yes, all you need is 4 chords.

I heard this whilst listening to my usual English Radio 1 Scott Mills podcast, it is by an Australian band called The Axis of Awesome, they remind me of Jack Blacks band Tenacious-D.

It is funny and well worth watching. Watch it here (this includes a list of who originally sang the song). Watch it performed live.

Have you ever wanted to eat at a fancy restaurant but afraid to spend a huge chunk of your paycheck? Well, stop spending money on strippers! Just kidding…

Dine Out Vancouver is back again. With over 180 restaurants, starting on January 14th – February 1st, people can enjoy a three-course dinner for $18, $28 or $38 per person.

This will be my fourth year participating and I find it this event a great excuse to try out new restaurants. In fact, Todd and I will be joining Alex and his lady love on a double date at DB Bistro Moderne. Bittersweet Chocolate Coupe, Praline Feuilletine, Coffe Ice Cream for dessert sounds good to me. We’ll be posting our experience on Foodists, so be sure to check back in a few weeks.

Not that I feel guilty when I eat rabbit anyway, but clearly bunnies are suicidal and should be put out of their misery, as is evidenced in these funny cartoons from Andy Riley’s Book of Bunny Suicides.

Almost a month ago, we launched our new identity: new logo, new website and blog, door sign, nice t-shirts and jackets, a big paaarty….and when you think it’s all over, here it comes: an amazingly long list of financial documents and internal forms that must be re-branded too. Welcome to the wonderful world of Excel and Word! As a designer and used to a friendly Adobe-Mac interface, that was tough. I may have been brainwashed by Adobe, but these softwares just don’t make any sense to me.
Then I found that: the world’s first music video in an Excel spreadsheet!  An AC/DC video — Black ice — converted into ASCII format. Wow Excel rocks!
You can watch it here or if you don’t have excel (shame on you) watch it on youtube.

Readers who watch Friends, you might know what my title means.

For the past few weeks Todd and I have been working on furnishing his new place. Not only has this move given me an opportunity to fuel my interest in interior design, but also added tonage to my arms. Yes!

Here’s a site that I stumbled upon that certainly got my creative juices flowing. Desire to inspire, is a blog created by a Canadian and Australian. I can’t even begin to write what they have so if you are even remotely interested in interior design, I suggest taking a look.

I don’t usually re-post from Gizmodo since so many of you are already following that blog, but since today is Halloween and this kid’s mech costume is so freakin’ cool, I couldn’t resist.

This costume would probably get him enough cool-factor points to last well into junior high. Unfortunately, after that, no matter how much work you put into it, guys in costumes like this never get laid.

Happy Halloween.
