Kinda funny flickr set of "Galactically Hot Women" from Star Trek.
They do have pretty fabulous hair styles. {galactic set}

Tiny food!

Beautiful spread in MS magazine for a company that catered with all miniature food. {mini apps}

Cute Gift Tags

Cute gift tag ideas reminiscent of Ed Emberley, who is awesome, btw. {Design*Sponge}

Gadgets

Duh! Open that awful clamshell plastic packaging...with a can opener! {thanks, apartment therapy}

OMG, jeans that are secretly leggings? "XFIT" lycra? {blueprint}

LiquiSeal Travel Mug - it's a spill-proof container that lets you just click to unseal and click to seal again. I already spill a lot so this is a pretty good idea. {OXO International}

This will solve all our problems!

"A S.L.U.T. is Born"....entertaining observational post by Seattlest about the SLUT's first day out. {a slut is born}

Goat Cheese Truffles

Having a hard time finding post-worthy material today, so thought I'd post a pic of the goat cheese truffles I made at Thanksgiving. They were good, but I think next time I'd mix cream cheese and goat cheese, because just goat cheese was way too much, and too much stinky cheese.

Notes: fantastically non-confrontational

*sigh*, a plethora of passive aggressive notes. Most mature form of communication, ever! {passiveaggressivenotes}

AOTD: Obsessive Consumption

Cute Mouse Pads

A while back I needed a new mouse pad for work (I know, cool people don't need mouse pads anymore) and they were all LAME! I didn't want a scenic beach photo or a couple of puppies.

These ones from Ann Kelle Designs are real cute:

AOTD: Yuken Teruya

My sister told me about the latest exhibit at the Western Gallery at WWU - she said that Yuken Teruya's "shopping bags" were particularly breathtaking. I don't think the pictures do these pieces justice. The show is no longer on display but it's worth keeping an eye out for Teruya's future work.

Felt Ribbon

Beautiful felt ribbon from Queen & Co. They also have a ton of awesome crafter stuff. Addicting :)

Polanoid

It's the comeback of Instant Photo - Polanoid is building the biggest Polaroid-picture-collection of the planet for Polaroid enthusiasts. They have a pretty cool "photo of the day" on their home page every day too. {polanoid.net}

Social Life Saver

Resurrect your party from the dead with these "Table Topics" cards.
A 5" cube of conversation starters that can be used as coasters or at a dinner party what-have-you. Great idea. {from Wrapables}

Mistletoe Mojito

I'm feeling festive. The usual mojito suspects - rum and mint - but instead of being topped with soda water, Pomegranate 7UP is floated on top. Garnish with pomegranate seeds. {ingredients on recipemogul}

Forever Lights

LED lights are suppposedly about 60 times as energy efficient as regular lights, and they don't get as hot. Bulbs are available in both traditional (starting at $12.50) and globe styles (starting at $15). {LED lights}
