My favourite quote of the day... Could definitely do with a cookie right now. . . .
Reasons My Son Is Crying
Greg Pembroke is a 32-year-old father of two boys under the age of 4. After observing his fair share of temper tantrums, he decided to share his fatherhood experiences in a blog called Reasons My Son Is Crying. The simple beginnings of posting photos on Facebook for friends and family soon turned into a Tumblr internet sensation. It's quite a laugh, you'll soon see why...Meet Charlie. "I . . .
Record-Setting Books
This was awesome. And not just coz i'm a bit of a nerd and love staying at home with the company of a good (paper) book every once in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np450xMSncE&feature=player_embedded It took 2,131 books, 27 volunteers, 7 hours and 5 failed attempts to complete - but the Seattle Public Library has set a new world record for the longest book domino . . .
Glittering Eyes
It has been a hectic three weeks. Time, please slow down a little, please stroll along and smell the flowers before deciding to spin away at crazy speeds. "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl . . .
Happy Street Day
Everyone wants to make a difference, everyone wants to do good. I believe it is part of human nature, some may argue otherwise. They might point out those that do things just to to make themselves feel better, just to attempt to right some wrongs, just to show others that they have made a positive contribution. There are however, the ones that want to do good because they believe in making the . . .
A Long List
Someone sent this to me today, and I thought it was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Just wanted to share... Boys. . . .
Ten Happy Facts
ONE. Otters hold hands while sleeping so they don't float apart. TWO. Norway once knighted a penguin - his full name is Colonel-in-Chief Sir Nils Olav. THREE. Blind people smile despite having never seen someone smile before. It is just a natural human reaction. FOUR. The voice of Mickey Mouse and the voice of Minnie Mouse got married in real life. FIVE. If you fake laugh long enough, you'll . . .
Big Ideas
I'm a little obsessed with post-its. My desk is covered in them. Most handy little invention ever - thank you 3M! You can imagine my elation when I saw these...FOR THOSE WITH BIG IDEAS. The secret nerd inside me popped out and screamed in joy. Best. No clue what I would actually ever use them for, but that's completely beside the point... via Design Milk . . .
The Vatican’s Sin
I think that every designer seems to have a personal vendetta against Comic Sans. The poor Pope of the Catholic Church did not know this when he released a digital photo album of former Pope Benedict XVI to commemorate his papacy as the Pope for the past eight years. The 62 page album was published on the Vatican website, featuring a collection of photos of Benedict XVI performing various . . .
Harlem Shake Madness
I never really caught on to the whole Gangnam Style thing, but I must admit that a couple of the Harlem Shake clips are hilarious. Here's one that has been passing around my whole office (I make it sound like a big deal, but there are actually just 6 of us). It's my definite favourite so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkiPdNw1Q4I Happy Friday! ENJOY. Feel free to share the best you've . . .
