This chameleon really has some super-duper camouflaging powers! Even though it's fake, it's so supremely awesome that it almost makes me want to get one of these reptilian… Continue

Okay... so I've been to the restaurant a few times now and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots to grab a bite. Since you've taken the time to check out this post, I feel obligated to give you a review.
Name: Church & State
Address: 1850 Industrial Street,… Continue
Truth be told, I'm a die hard internet junkie. Yes, I know that you've already guessed it...but me and the internet, well it's a mad love affair. That's why I'll only post on television shows or specials when I can honestly say that I can't wait to turn off my Mac (ok fine - put it in sleep mode).
Jim Gaffigan is one of those comedians who really cracks me… Continue
Yesterday, Annie and I visited Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. Built by newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, the extravagant estate is located on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, about 250 miles from both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Donated by the Hearst Corporation to the state of California in 1957, it is now a State Historical Monument and a… Continue
Is it me or does this kind of remind you of Royksopp's Happy Up Here video? Either way, this new ad from Honda gets my vote for cool because it's retro and modern at the same time. Plus I'm a sucker for smiley faces and hearts.
Basically, Honda parked a huge grid of cars in the desert and used the headlights as pixels.
Take a look at these! Last year, Wieden + Kennedy London launched the Nokia Music Almighty Headset Competition which invited people to design a Nokia Bluetooth headset inspired by their favorite song. The winning designs have now been made into fully functioning headsets that will be showcased at flagship stores all around thew world. All the headsets will ultimately be returned back to… Continue
I particularly love this first piece by Ara Peterson of Rhode Island. He creates wicked 3-dimensional optical illusions utilizing repetition in colors and patterns. Using laser cut birch wood and acrylic paint, Ara produces movement in her pieces that are quite amazing...…
Here's an event I'd love to go...if I had a kid! (Sis, can I borrow yours?) The White House just recently announced that it will distribute tickets for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll online for the first time, doing away with the decades-old tradition of Washington families who line up for hours on the Ellipse the weekend before the event to receive their… Continue

Since not everyday is champagne and expense accounts, there has to be worthwhile eats on the cheap, right? Then follow me here at Citysearch's new 3 Buck Bites .
It's particularly helpful in case you have a date because, you know, it's hard to reconcile good food with how girls tend to demand expensive things. If you can round the bases after a $3 dinner, then consider yourself my new…
If this isn't the coolest skin for your laptop, I don't know what is! Damn! I've been a huge fan of gelaskins from when I first saw them a little over a year ago. My MacBook Pro loves her Audrey Kawaski sticker so much, in fact, that she doesn't feel right without… Continue
I like to believe that some people, like artist Josh Poehlein, have an uncanny ability to see ghosts. Using photos, he draws in what is missing and, in doing so, brings to life a haunting past. Call them ghosts or angels or whatever you may, these beings are only here to help us see the creativity that lives inside all of us.… Continue

Two newborn clouded leopard cubs made it safely into the world at the National Zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Va. Immediately taken from their mom, so she could do them no harm, they were placed in an incubator and fed salt water from baby bottles. It's the zoo's first leopard birth in 16 years and a rare sight for everyone to… Continue
If you can sit through this 8+ min video you'll enjoy a nice story about a man who is convinced he has hidden superpowers. He seeks out his archenemy, hoping that it will help him discover his true powers.
This film was an exam made by students in Norwary, from The University of Bergen. More fun than the actual story is the idea that they had a hell of a fun time making… Continue
