Drawn
Potentially the most creative street art I've seen. When the subway passes by the animal inflates. I think that street art has gotten a little convoluted, but this really renews my faith in the whole thing. (Ps this was all over the web, so I'm linking to

Who wouldn't want a tiny pie? (craft) I don't even like pie and I want one!

Eco -friendly lotion. (craft) A very good idea, though I fail at making cosmetics.

Make a little shopping bag. (craft) I'm really going to have to start a store all for the sewing project that Craft keeps posting. My sewing machine is at Tyler's though.

Mistress Matisse writes about some unbelievably bad behavior. (Mistress Matisse) NWS I can't wrap my head around how someone could be so rude, and so blunt, and still have all their teeth.

A short list of what every American should know about the Middle East. (kottke)

Amazing paper cuts by Risa Fukui (Ping Mag) So amazing...

Sew a fabric basket. (craft) yet another sewing project.

Moki (right some good) love the subtle creepiness.

Tom Horacek (drawn) Haven't heard of him, but his comics are so cute, and I think I have to own "All We Ever Do is Talk About Wood".

Fabric for Fabrics sake. (craft) new blog, so cute.

How to kill an RFID. (boing boing) We've all got a little conspiracy theory in us.

Oil painting was invented in Asia. (lines and colors) Just another example of how Euro centric the art worls, and art history are. Why would anyone want to believe that oil painting was invented any place other then Europe, they're the best. :P

Mended Spiderwebs (kottke) Love this concept, but I'm kind of sick of art that deals with humans "fixing" nature. "The morning after the first patch job, I discovered a pile of red threads lying on the ground below the web." Doesn't look like the spider needed our help.

Amazing interactive LED coffee table (apartment therapy)

If micro blogging is something you're even remotely interested in, you should join and be my friend, because I feel lame only having one person I know update.

Whiskey Peanut Fudge! (Craft) I don't know anyone who could resist.

Why we're powerless to stop grazing on internet data. (BoingBoing) finally some justification on why I keep refreshing google reader.

The ultimate toilet paper storage device. (Apartment Therapy) I have to own one of these, but first I have to stock up on the TP.

How to fold a shamrock. (Craft) I tried very hard on this one, but it's quite difficult. I think I'll try again with a larger piece of paper.

DMX has no idea who Barak Obama is... (Kottke) I can't even comment.

Phallic fun straws! (BoingBoing) There totally is a market for these.

Another mini vintage camera I want. (NotCot)

Best of my RSS reader.

Drawn.ca is an amazing art blog that features both old and new. This post about Matthieu Bessudo definitely caught my eye. This guys art is an amazing mash up of vintage cartoons and contemporary surrealism. Besides just thinking his art is great, I'm really impressed with the continuity between highly detailed environments and stylized figures.

My mom found this stack of dish towels when I moved out of my apartment in Oly, at the time I was really excited, but now that I've tried to use them, I'm really disappointed. My roommate and I really only have 2 good dish towels, which are always dirty. I'm hoping This pattern (CRAFT) might be a good solution to the problem. I think I'd knit it a little more rectangular, but i love the way it looks. I wonder if it would make a good loofa.

Cutest book ever! (NotCot) I really wish I could have a dog, and if I was going to go for an actual breed, I'd get a shiba-inu.

DIY laundry soap? (CRAFT) I like the idea, but I'm not sure how these would stand up against a store bought natural brand. Personally I'm a fan of Country Save.

I like the idea of Foodsel (Lifehacker), but it was a little hard to find some of my more eaten foods.

While looking for きăȘこ (kinako) recipies online I found this post for Delicious Kinako Pancakes. Tyler and I tried them, and they were fantastic!
