Here Comes the Sun

August 27th, 2008

The days are already getting shorter. Can you believe it?

I am not a
morning person, so I’ll try anything to make waking up easier. This
is my new favorite alarm clock — I have to have it. The Wake-Up Light
Alarm Clock
gets gradually brighter to mimic a rising sun. It is ugly,
but I’ll try anything!

I’m Flipping Out

August 13th, 2008

My boyfriend is crazy about videos, and takes them constantly. He just
got a new Sony HD camcorder. [Just as a side note, the man in this picture is not my boyfriend ;-) ]

Check out some of his great HD footage on Youtube.

It’s not new, but I’ve had these on my mind for a few weeks. It is wonderful, but I’ve got my eye set
on this adorable little flip video. I don’t know that I would actually
take a lot of video, but if that I had this, I might give it a try.

The Beastie Boys

August 10th, 2008

So we have two sweet cats named BlackJack and Lola. This is their new favorite fashion accessory the Beastie Band!

This one is Black Jack’s

This one belongs to Lola

Second, our cats go in and out through a cat door in the back of the house. We began to suspect that there was another cat who was coming into our house at night and eating all the food — so my partner tried to catch the culprit red-handed. He bought istopmotion, set up the camera over night, and took more than 5000 pics. I’m disappointed to report that we have not yet discovered the truth, but we’ll keep using our Nancy Drew tools until we do!

To see how cool istopmotion can be check out my friend’s video of their kitchen demolition. very cool.

Their kitchen demo — using istop motion! Enjoy your kitty day!

Three things to love in one post:

First, is Squidoo. Squidoo allows users to build easy “lenses” on anything they are passionate about.  You can create pages on your own work, your favorite food, philosophy or celebrity. A little more info:

A lens is one person’s view on a topic that matters to her. It’s an easy-to-build, single web page that can point to blogs, favorite links, RSS feeds, Flickr photos, Google maps, your eBay auctions, CafePress designs, Amazon books or music, and oh so much more. That way, when someone is looking for recommended information, fast, your lens gets him started and sends him off in the right direction. Hooray for you!

I went to Squidoo this morning after seeing that Chistine Kane’s blog also as a Squidoo page.  I was on her site looking for information on vision boarding — more to come on that later.

Then once I got to Squidoo I stumbled onto my second great find:

A Squidoo page devoted to funky, chic, and cool laptop bags. I never get tired of looking for my next laptop bag. I was thinking of the cute HER bag, but at $270 it is currently out of my price range. Still I can drool over it anyway!

Third, I did this post from inside my FireFox browser using ScribeFire.   It is a great way to link posts from several pages without having to flip back and forth from one tab to another. Special thanks to lapster for suggesting it!

Have a great day!
