Pearltrees: The Future of Social Bookmarking

After trying out Pearltrees today, I have to say I’m incredibly impressed. It was featured on CNN.com as a possible next big thing on the web and since its beta launched on Wednesday, there has been massive scrutiny in the online world over its social-network-meets-categorized-mind-map-bookmarking style. The webhounds have definitely stirred and are barking up [...]

If I Ate Myself…

“If I ate myself, would I become twice my size or disappear completely?” The question doesn’t make sense and probably isn’t technically feasible, but I really want to know.

In 2 months, I’ve built 3 Gundams, painted 2 Munnies, filled in 1 paint-by-numbers masterpiece (with another on the way), stained and aged paper to make 39 vintage magnets, and crafted 1 jewelry box. The only [...]

A Random Day at the Beach

Had a really random day yesterday… Decided (sorta on a whim, no less) to head to the beach and Adele and I ended up at this semi-random beach near Santa Cruz (I think the beach is called Dooney Boone or something like that, but I can’t seem to find it on google maps!). I’ve been [...]
