New Office Toy

It took the retinal scanner 20 attempts before it would accept my eyes into the database. Not that I'm bitter or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's racist.

AiH makes me happy

How could you possibly not love this Aussie indie pop ensemble with their synchronized, gravity-defying trampoline bouncing and B-52s impression vocals!

Who said cassette tapes were dead?

Along with neon clothing, spandex and fanny packs, the Sony Walkman was the #1 accessory in the early 90’s - and with it the audio cassette tape.


American Apparel: you may have brought back to life the other three, but it looks like ooomydesign.com beat you to the punch with their cassette tape floor lamp.

How to Survive Being Broke (You remember college, don't you?)

10 Tips for Weathering the Recession:

1. Drink Dunkin' Donuts - their logo AND their coffee is better than Starbucks, oh, and you'll save a couple bucks on every cup.

2. Go Green - cut out trips to the gas station and bike to work - you'll get a morning workout and a tan.

3. Hold That Gym Membership - see 2.

4. Get on a Family Plan - just because you're 25 doesn't mean you can't still be on your family's wireless plan. it's cheaper for you and for them.

4. Brown Bag It - PBJ all the way.

6. Thank PBR - at most bars for $2 a can, why would you even order drinks w/ house liquor at 3x the price?

7. Shop Thrifty - think of it this way, you know how it always takes a few washes to get your shirt soft and well fitted? well, someone's already taken care of that part for you.

8. On Demand - before the days of on-demand and Netflix's 'Watch Instantly' you might have felt the need to go to a movie theater, but who doesn't like watching a movie in the comfort of their own home. Bonus: See 6.

9. Companionship - free entertainment.

10. Work more - brown nose if you have to, just avoid losing your job at all costs!
