This was once a blog where I shared many, many things, most of which were awesome. Somewhere around fall 2009, I got a big-kid media job and no longer can keep up with this old thing. There's some good stuff hanging around here though. You should check it out.

My Parents Were Awesome

There goes your afternoon:  My Parents Were Awesome is a great little Tumblr featuring submitted photos of parents when they were young and (most) without kids.   It’s a really strange but awesome display of fashion, time, and love of some of the people we love the most. Found via Quipsologies

Family Meeting : I’m selfish, but I’m trying not to be
(or, why I really don’t shop at Wal-Mart)

As you know, I usually don’t write a lot about my personal life, really for no reason other than this is a place for cool links of pretty things and not my Diaryland page from 2001.  BUT, I came across an article at GOOD about Wal-Mart and it made me think of something I thought...

To the Cinema! : UP

I can’t write anything here that hasn’t already been said by people much more qualified, but this movie was AMAZING!  My sister and I watched in in DIGITAL 3D (which is actually pretty freakin’ amazing in itself, bTW), over the weekend.  We got the glasses.  I had some twizzlers.  And cried pretty much through this...

Illustration Thursday:
6 Vintage Illustration Sets on Flickr

I ran out of time putting this together yesterday, so here’s this week’s  Illustration Thursday: Vintage Illustrations, especially that from the 1950s-early 1970s, are some of my favorite things.  The style, the use of line work, the color, printing process-it’s just all awesome.  Anyways, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite vintage...

Web Wednesday: Goodbye WaffleMaker

There are a lot of things that I can’t do: share dairy products, gymnastics or roll my tongue, for example.  And then there are a lot of things that I can’t do simply because I’m too sissy or attached to my belonging, and one of those things is sell of my possessions and move to...

Earth Hour 2009

With an amazing effort of the WWF in an international effort to bring about a movement toward climate change, Earth Hour is 60 minutes of darkness, multiplied over millions around the world.  Fantastic method and heart behind the effort, I think this is great. The 2009 Earth Hour will be TOMORROW, March 28 at 8:30pm...

West Side Story @ The Indy Civic

The Indianapolis Civic Theatre is totally putting on West Side Story as their spring musical, and guess who has good seats at the show tonight??  ME! (and my mom). I heard it should be good.  I’m stoked!

Sesame Street Animation @ Hulu

Over on Hulu, you can watch a bunch of Sesame Street clips, which is sweet. But what is even sweeter is that they have a BUNCH of their animations, which just totally made my days. These where always some of my favorite parts of the show as a kid QUESTION: Does anyone else get this...

GOOD Video : On Skid Row

GOOD magazine with filmmaker Sam Slovick has put together a short series of docs about the Skid Row neighborhood in LA. Heartbreaking, humbling, and GOOD, these videos share the stories of the residents, the lawmakers, police, and pastors of the 50 block ward. It’s something we should all be aware of, praying for, and talking...

The Crisis of Credit

Our current economic downturn explained in a simple and meaningful visual. Great work. Part two after the jump:

Illustration : Charley Harper

Probably most famous for his various illustrations and painting of wildlife, Charley Harper was an American artist with a great sense of modern style.  Old Navy, of all places, recently had a whole collection of toys and games using Harper illustrations, including a coloring book, matching game, and animal/letter cards.  I fortunately picked them up...

Merry Christmas, Chia Pets.

In a classic time when the “Clapper” was still something you could buy via a toll-free number and Empire Carpet ads still featured real people, the Chia Pet was really that gift that supposedly everyone got, but no one really wanted-like an 80′s equivalent to the fruit cake.  However, one small Hoosier always dreamed of...
