He didn't eat all of his dinner which I made for him, so I decided to banish him from my FF! (just kidding) I actually unsubscribed to someone else first when I ran into this problem. I used Sparky as a replication test.. which I could repeatedly, until I restarted firefox. - Erin
i figured, just found it funny and wanted to harass you! ;) - Rachel L Fisher

The Programmable SkyCeiling creates an enhanced illusion of nature by introducing changes of light and color, in real-time. - Erin via Bookmarklet
And I thought it is cheesy to just have white puffy clouds and an airplane painted on my bedroom ceiling.... but now they can have seasons!!! - Erin
I totally want this in Camilla's room. All she has are her glow-in-dark stars and crescent moon - why stare at that, when she could look up at twinkling stars, a full moon, and perhaps a shooting star every few minutes? - April Buchheit
April: That would be awesome! I wonder if they make a program for the night sky so she can learn all the stars... get a head start on 5th grade?! (okay, maybe that was just my awful 5th grade experience, it seemed astronomy is all we studied). - Erin
"Apartments connect and stack like Lego blocks in Montreal's Habitat 67. Without a traditional vertical construction, the apartments have the open space that most urban residences lack, including a separate patio for each apartment." - Erin via Bookmarklet
This is way cool... wondering how she did that! Piping multiple colors into one pastry bag? Or a super special pastry bag that has multiple chambers? - Erin via Bookmarklet
David Fisher, who has never designed a skyscraper before, has decided that he wants to construct an 80-story building in Dubai that will rotate and twist and spin on command and will have extra amenities like wind turbines sticking out everywhere and elevators that will lift cars all the way up to people's apartments, no matter what floor they're on. - Erin via Bookmarklet
We were just telling the seniors, ‘Oh, it’s like a party; everybody has to go,’ ” she recalled. “They said, ‘Why don’t we just have a party?’ I said, ‘No, let’s have a prom because it’s better.’ - Erin via Bookmarklet

"Range of T-shirts for different occasions. Each one can be used as an 'Emergency T-shirt' when nothing else is clean or seems to suit an occasion. Simply turn them inside out and wear." - Erin
For Brian: Look... they even have a "working out" t-shirt that can be your "holiday" t-shirt! :) - Erin
Very cool! I like that every t shirt also doubles as an emergency t shirt. But for $70, it better do more than one thing! - Brian Johns
"11.8 million -- The number of computer servers in the USA in 2007, up from 2.6 million in 1997 (source: IDC). 30.3 million -- Total number of computer servers worldwide. Also growing fast." - Erin
"As she was attempting to put on a Victoria's Secret thong, a Los Angeles woman claims that a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye, causing injuries and a new product liability lawsuit against the underwear giant." - Erin
"Kellogg has confirmed that the much-feared grocery shrink ray has now focused its malevolent beam on Apple Jacks, Cocoa Krispies, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks. Boxes were shrunk by an average of 2.4 ounces." - Erin
Bonus for Brian: Found the term "grocery shrink ray".. love that the Consumerist is keeping a running tally. - Erin
I usually shop based on price/ounce. Granted, all cereal is more expensive than it used to be but price per ounce is a good way to immunize yourself against gimmicks like "value sizes" being a bad value, etc. - Brian Johns
"Wherever you are on July 20th, PhotoShelter wants you to Shoot! The Day. The mission is to revitalize stock photography.

“I'm in need of some help with my Wordpress blog, but more specifically PHP and CSS (i hope that's all). Can anyone help me out?”
um, hello, perfect favour for our wedding in three weeks...:) - Trent Olson
@Trent - very cool! If you do it, I want to see pics of how they turn out. - Erin
I'm trying to figure out if they'll do anything other than faces...I'd like to put pea pods on them (yeah, yeah, go ahead and laugh at the "two peas in a pod" thing...) - Trent Olson
@Trent: even funnier if you put 3 peas in the pod and see if anyone notices. Okay, maybe that's something only I would do... and give to my parents. - Erin
Well, so much for that idea. Turns out my fiancee doesn't even LIKE m&m's. Why am I just finding this out now? That's it...wedding's off! :) - Trent Olson
"The chef Thomas Keller is the modern king of the fussy recipes. His books are stacked with one deal breaker after another. To make his cornets filled with salmon tartare and crème fraîche, one must first figure out how to make “a 4-inch hollow circular stencil.” Then the cook must balance a baking sheet on the open door of a hot oven and set the tips of cornet molds on par-baked circles of batter at the 7 o’clock position before rolling.
These are the kinds of instructions that make people open a box of brownie mix and call it a day." - Erin
"Listen, we know gas costs more than $4 a gallon, and may go even higher, but that doesn't mean you should start stockpiling gas. Two Dartmouth natives learned this the hard way when the 45-gallons of gas they were hoarding in nine plastic jugs ignited, nearly burning down their eight-unit apartment complex." - Erin
"Inside of each of these little ceramic egglings is enough soil and seed to grow a new plant for your garden. Just crack the top of the egg, water it, and watch it grow." - Erin
Which came first... this or the facebook app? hmmm... - Erin
*lol* cute Erin! we actually had one of these though possibly not by the same company. it was fun, ours was a bean on the inside and it was cool to watch. - Rachel L Fisher
