I know we’re still two and a half months away, but it takes me so long to come up with something I want when my mom asks me what I’d like so I thought I’d start the list now. [Note: Do use common sense to figure out which I'm asking for real and which are [...]
Grumpy Girl Auto Bird Turd Emergency Kit
This product made my day. If you just can’t let a bird poo on your car ruin your day, go out prepared! Grumpy Girl is also home to some very cute tshirts.
25 Signs That, Sadly, You’ve Grown Up
Such timing, finding this only days after my 25th birthday. But it ain’t so bad being a grownup. Your house plants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. 6:00 AM is when you [...]

You do WHAT for a living??
In case my last post gave you a case of the MEGO [My Eyes Glaze Over], I thought I’d redeem myself with an article on odd and unusual jobs. Ever heard of a Gumologist? Or ever thought what it’s like to be an IMAX screen cleaner? Read up on those jobs here.
Why Lego rocks
TechEBlog presents the top 10 strangest Lego creations. I suspect my dad would love the Lego harpsichord, but the Pinball machine is the one that does it for me. I have a hard time believing someone would manage to put a working Pinball machine together using only Lego, but it’s a pretty cool (and brave) [...]
