First Day of School#

All grown up and ready to start school.

First Day of School

All reports indicate it was a fabulous day, and she's excited to go again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day (and onward for 13 to 17+ years). Good luck kid.

Patterns for Colouring#

I wish this would have existed when I was a kid. This blog is full of patterns and drawings that are just waiting to be colored. Although I really liked a lot of these, I've printed off #2 and #54 to revisit my colored pencil collection. Kudos to Carlton Hibbert (the blog's author) for doing this. Truly awesome.  [Via]

Michael Tseng - NASA Redesign#

A straight-forward and perfect approach to a redesigned NASA logo and concept. Don't miss my preferred NASA II logo of his as well.  [Via]

Sarah Vaughan, Café Society, New York, N.Y.#

A 1946 portrait of an incredible singer. I just ordered a print of this photo to put on my wall.

Tile we Meet Again#

Share photos on twitter with Twitpic The other day, Cabel Sasser (@cabel) (of Panic, fireworks displaying, and snack hunting), tweeted about some tile work uncovered in a building undergoing renovations (I'd love to know the building's name). Five days later, he tweeted again showing the unfortunate destruction of that same tile work. I thought it'd be a shame if that tile didn't get more attention/rememberance, and spent the time to digitize it.

Here is the base hexagonal pattern, and a modification using Panic's (and their awesometastic FTP application Transmit's) colors:

   

Additionally, I've gone and created a full-sized desktop picture (perfectly fits my 27" iMac).

Download: my original Fireworks PNGs. The file has both the main, hexagonal pattern, and the side square pattern. If you create your own versions, I'd love to hear about them.

July Wallpaper Calendars by Natalie Jost#

I've already set the first one there as my desktop background (and I bought a whole mess of fireworks yesterday as well). Next stop? Tear-up when listening to the star spangled banner.  [Via]

99c iPhone 4 Case | The iPhone Guru#

Since they only sell LIVESTRONG bracelets in packs of 10 any longer, you can use one of your leftovers (it took me 3) to make yourself an iPhone 4 case and vastly improve your reception.  [Via]

Old Spice - Questions (YouTube)#

I thoroughly enjoyed the original, and although this follow-up doesn't have the uniqueness that the first had, it's still pretty awesome. Swan dive! Into the sequel.  [Via]
