Today I Love: App Magnets

I could move these iPhone App Magnets around all day. If I had these, I would be lucky to sit next to the stinky fridge at work.

Venn Diagram with Duck-Billed Platypus

A hybrid of everything.

Originally from Tenso Graphics. I found it on Diplomatic Shark.

Did you know that the platypus can secrete a venom? I just learned that last week. Don't worry, it's not fatal to humans, usually.

Also, why does everyone call it a "duck-billed" platypus?

Sharon Loves This Bridal Shower

Sharon & Megan

My friend Sharon is getting married.

Last weekend was her bridal shower. There were lots of Asian ladies at her shower (friends of her mom). Here's a picture of Sharon (and Kyle) with the Asian ladies.

Sharon Kyle & Asian Ladies

There were actually so many ladies, I couldn't fit them into the frame. Sorry other ladies!

Here's Sharon with Ade, a mutual friend who introduced us long before Sharon started her blog. It was after the blog, that we decided we're kinda the same person.


Sharon & Ade

I fully support wedding registries so couples can get what they actually want. But, I broke the rules and made her gift.

Here it is:


sharon + kyle

Customized appetizer plates!

You can make your own customized plates, too. Here's my tutorial in case you want some guidance.

I had fun drawing for her. I hope she uses them in her new house.

Jason Roussos T-Shirt Design Takes 2nd

Roussos

I'm Number 2. I'm Number 2. Roussos takes 2nd.

My design took 2nd place in the company-wide T-shirt design contest.

The Shepard Fairey inspired design beat out 33 other designs to lose to a "I heart twins" dual tap kegerator design. Yep, it's that kind of company.

Original Roussos

I managed to get the President/COO Jason Roussos to pose in an Obama-like manner looking hopeful and up and to the left and traced his image in illustrator. Man, that was a lot of work. First place gets their design printed on shirts for the entire company and $250. Second place gets a pack of Hanes Beefy-Ts and 2 Ken's Tacos. This, unfortunately, was my idea. Had I known, I would have said second place wins $500 and a week's vacation.

Roussos T-Shirt Dark Grey

Roussos is a real character - in a good way. He's pretty hilarous and a good sport. He agreed to get the shirt printed because he wants to have a shirt of himself and I get one, too. I wonder if I can get it printed on a dress. Perhaps this can be my first foray into fashion design. Roussos screenprinted apparel. I like it.

Here's what happened the last time I won second.

Brighten Your Thursday with Keyboard Stickers

These keyboard stickers by art director Chris Delorenzo would totally brighten my workday. By Thursday, everyone is just ready for the weekend.

I wonder if I'd get in trouble with IT for having the keyboard with cute letters?

"B is for Bowie" is my favorite. What's yours?

Sick Day

Lungs in a Jar by yourorgangrinder on Etsy, $18. Jar not pictured

I feel icky. I actually felt ickier last week, but went to work anyway because my vacation and sick days are one in the same and there are very few of them. Bad decision. I didn't get much rest this weekend and have a really gross sounding cough. So, I'm taking my sick day today and getting some rest.

Cute pocket tissue holders in pretty patterned fabrics will brighten a sick friend (like kathy phantastic)'s day.
