No Apologies
Do you think you could successfully market a food product as being terrible for you but tasting great? I mean really going all out and saying “this is REALLY bad for you, but it tastes UNBELIEVABLE”. Something tells me this type of advertising might actually work, as opposed to trying to pass something off as ‘reduced-fat’ or whatever.
Many of you feel bad for this lamp...
Easily my favorite commercial ever. I remember spending most of my time in high school study hall trying to find this video on the Internet. At the time, it was completely impossible to find anything on the World Wide Web. Now, I typed in”Ikea Lamp” and was on the ground laughing in 60 seconds.

I hate technical support. I try to avoid it whenever possible, but everything technological that I own is constantly breaking inexplicably. It is irritating. I thought I might write up a little guide in case you find yourself setting down the treacherous path of the support hotline.

No computers, no books, no TV,...

'The Goods are Odd but the Odds are Good'
Few more from the weekend: This coming weekend, assuming I get a crazy amount of work done tomorrow, is going to be amazing. Not saying what just yet, but look for pictures on Monday. Oh also, I’m going to see Stefan Sagmeister speak tomorrow. Couldn’t be more excited!
I love lamp
It’s true, I love lamps more than any other form of lighting. Sorry Sun. If every room, house, car, street, restaurant, club, store, etc were lit by lamps I would be happy forever. This lamp is one of my favorites, despite it’s ridiculous price tag:
Adventures to Come
So I am obsessed with surfing. I have tried to surf maybe 10 times in my life, and never once gotten up. This is mainly due to the sheer size of the breaks where I was trying to learn. I started in New Zealand, which was rarely small, and then moved on to Hawaii where I got thoroughly destroyed. I still love it, despite never being able to do it. Anyway. Today we headed down the coast to the...
