Six Neat Things

If you’ve found yourself in the family way, you might be wanting to find yourself some prenatal vitamins. Just sayin’

A beautiful photograph. No need to ask if this is edited, the url says yes. Still, it’s absolutely beautiful.

A little dress I may be wanting to buy. But it’s spendy. But it’s gorgeous. Would look good beside dress blues OR an Italian suit.

Oh, this is funny! Austenbook. Much better than cliffnotes, and explained in a way today’s youth can easily understand. And also grownups.

Here’s is one for you timeline and science geeks: Chronology of Events in Science, Mathematics, and Technology.

Sometimes I feel like this.

Pack on a little too much over the holidays? Get the 411 on your favorite fat burners here.

Did you think wallets were made for holding your money? Well, check this one out: money wallet.

I am so making this caramel apple cheesecake. Oh yes I am. And then I shall need to click on the first link I posted, hahahahahahahaha!

Want to make a fashion statement with your offspring? Lookit these Bob strollers.

Best book quote ever:

A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. An American who read just one book this year was disproportionately likely to have read ‘The Lost Symbol’, by Dan Brown. He almost certainly liked it.

Those last three links read the same, but go to separate places.

Okay, ya’ll know I love to laugh, even at myself. Go read this, cause it’s just funny.

Interesting pictorial essay on Queen Elizabeth with U.S. presidents. She’s a striking woman, isn’t she?

A little time on your hands and a bit of white scrap yarn? Make this little lamb.

Huh. An interesting optical illusion using the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Crazy the way the brain works.

Make yourself a fashion statement with these Michael Kors gloves.

Now here is an idea. Turn a dead person into pencils and then….. well, just go read it. It’s a pretty interesting idea.

Umm, words fail me. That doesn’t happen very often, but this really has to be seen to be believed.

Ever lost your digital camera? Check out this guy’s solution. You may want to adapt it for your own purposes.

I love me some Johnny Depp, though I hesitate to take significant life advice from him. This quote actually came from his character in The Libertine, which I watched not long ago, and it is pretty accurate.

Just another amazing photo.

Need a living room lift? Try this contemporary furniture for something new and different.

Cats are cute and all, but this cat lady takes it to the extreme. Good pics, though!

Sad castles we’ve got aplenty, but these snow sculptures are awesome, and I bet they last longer than the next tide!

Wondering what to do with cheap shoes and a cute sweater? Sweater boots, of course!

I really enjoy nature photos. This one of a hawk is superb.

Et tu can pretend to be well-educated with this page of handy latin phrases.

So, if you need to do a little home improvement (like I do), check out Baldwin hardware. I’ve sorta decided a want a real house again, with real woodwork in it. Totally jealous of Ang.’s house.

Have you ever wondered how to create digital music? Wonder no more.

Ok, this gal calls her creation the nerdiest sweater vest, but…the idea behind it is awesome. I wonder if I could use her method with a Farmville screenshot? Hmmmmm?

Speaking of which. Greatest time sink ever, but boy oh boy is it fun! Farmville.com

Wanna read faster? Check out this speed reading practice site. You can increase the speed using the “i” key. I was outpacing the site long before they told me that. Also allows you to copy and paste you own text.

Photos that say love. My favorite is the black and white sixth shot.

So, I am still in the throes of planning my kitchen that should have been finished weeks ago, and most likely would have been if I could make up my mind what I want. No, I look at counters and floor tiles and cabinets and start dithering and just won’t settle. Sigh, such is my way. I’m sure it’s very frustrating for those around me, because it frustrates me, too.

Let’s see: bread, potatoes, cheese. Sounds like something I could really love to eat. Check out these Cheddar Potato Knishes. And seriously, BrokeAss Gourmet? Gotta love it!

Muhahahaha! I’m just twisted enough to enjoy this bit of college humor!

Ok, it says watch closely, and be sire you do, because it took me three times before I could see the evidence.

Oh, this is cool. What a great way to say “I love America“!

I think we’d all do well to remember this.

Here’s some help if you are overindulging this holiday season: fat burners. Me, I’m trying not to do that, just on general principle. It’s an exercise in self-discipline, I guess. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels and all that.

Okay, this defies a summation. Just go look: extruding ice.

Wisdom from songsters. Short but good. Just scroll over the blocks to read the lyrics.

Way too scary truth.

Ha! This brings the term alternative music to whole new levels!

Oh, this is neat. Look-alikes compares today’s Hollywood icons to stars of yesteryear. Truly eyeopening–classic beauty is still…well, classic.

You know, I have decided that I have a love/hate relationship with the little micro sd cards. I love that they hold so much data and make mp3 players and cell phones so much more useful. I really dislike that they are so small that when you drop on on dark carpeting it takes forever to find. Seriously, it’s like the new “I lost my contact”.

For Star Wars fans: the secret lives of Stormtroopers.

OhMyWord! This woman is crocheting this rope with her FINGERS to make a giant doily. It’s pretty, too! But a doily that big must certainly be called a rug!

Got a cool picture? Wanna see it huge on your wall? Here’s a tutorial and software to make a large wall poster from a photo. And it’s free! My favorite price!!

I do love a good photograph. You could lose yourself for several hours on photo.net, but start with the Winter Windmill.

In depth explanationals of all the punctuationals. Yep, I just added “al” to words in writing; I do it all the time when I am talking. And, yes, I did use that semi-colon correctly 😉

So, let’s see what’s going on in the world of internetting tonight. Need a new plasma mount for the TV Santa’s bringing? Start here: plasma mounts.

It’s a little late for Halloween, but here are some cool pumpkin carvings. Of course, some of them are detailed enough that you might need to start the drawings now to get them done for next year.

Here’s a goodie for you Holy Grail seekers– the 20 best Monty Python sketches.

Here is a recipe site that helps you find recipes based on foods to include, foods to exclude and nutrient required. Pretty handy for someone on an allergy diet, I’d think, or someone just wanting to try new foods.

Need a refresher course in Roman numerals? I got one for ya!

Finally, know your tea. Sometimes, it’s good for what ails you.

You know, it’s been so long since I posted here that I actually had to go back to some old entries to figure out how to title this post. That’s a sad, sad thing! I wonder if that fancy dancy Medicare supplement insurance covers things like time turners so I could buy a few more hours everyday like Hermione. I mean, I have her hair, so why shouldn’t I have a little magic? On with the sites:

Here is a page on Holi, the festival of colors. And it is very, err, colorful.

Ohmygosh, Oreo Turkeys. Totally neat and just in time for……no, wait….couple weeks late for Thanksgiving. Sorry.

Here’s something I would love to learn how to do: Cappuccino Foam Art. Given the amount of coffee I drink and my ongoing love affair with flavors, I can totally see that becoming a hobby for me. How cool would it be to serve guests a piece of art with their cuppa?

Quick read, totally hilarious, and something I could totally see my cop friend doing. Yes, I have one of those.

A series of totally awesome owl photos.
