• The most amazing umbrella ever.

• Doe Deere shares 11 ways to go green & save money. Some ideas I have wholeheartedly embrace already. Others sound a bit too much for me. Showering only every three days? I think I’ll stick to my four minute shower timer!

• I am in love with this photo shoot & I don’t know why. Is it the colours? Is it the adorable model? Could it be the wacky glasses? Who cares! It rocks my socks!

• Ayomeday shares some really wonderful journalling ideas. I like the bit about writing letters – I’ve definitely been inspired!

• For a bout of nostalgic national pride I recommend You Know You’re Australian If…

• Dark Roasted Blend share some kooky sheet music. Is it just me, or would some of these make awesome T-shirt designs?

• Like an online identikit but way more fun. Face Builder lets you construct fictional (or perhaps real) faces & upload them to the rogues gallery. Why not invent a few imaginary friends?

• Ikea hacks have always been inspiring. I love it when people show how they do it too! These tables are pretty neat don’t you think?

• Matte nail polish. Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? I want I want!

• How to make miniature ice cream. Instructibles is a wonderful site. If you haven’t had a chance to go exploring it yet I recommend you do so now!

• Sarah Von always says it perfectly. How to be wild at heart.

• & so does Seth Godin.

• Scanwiches. Cross-scans of sandwiches. For some odd reason I love it when people document food but I sure hope that scanner bed is clean! Holy corned beef batman!

• Writing for Gizmodo John Herman composes an appropriate eulogy for the Space Bat. Beautiful!

For the last time, he felt the primal joy of flight; for the first, the indescribable feeling of ascending toward his dream—a place far away from piercing screeches and crowded caves, stretching forever into fathomless blackness.

• The New York Times expresses perfectly what it is like to live with cables. My father & brothers are big on computers & computer hardware. We are surrounded by multicoloured spaghetti!

• If you live in the UK you can get a free box of stuff!

• I used to think that Vagina Pagina was for women who were super-comfortable discussing their lady bits. You know, happy (but afflicted) “I heart my vagina” types. Apparently I was wrong. We’re all a little uncomfortable or even resentful of our functions sometimes & the comments are hilarious!

• & while on the subject, behold the scariest tampon advertisement ever. I mean it!

• These artful bras sure are creative. Not necessarily wearable though. I do like support your favourite boob however!

• Bulletins backstage at runway shows.

You feel great. You’ve just had the shag of your life. You’re cute as hell. You know it!!!

• Fight Club is really a retelling of the Calvin & Hobbs comics. Who knew!

• Three quirky cooking videos:

• Pst! La Carmina of the above is having a competition! Check out her blog for details!
