Gelaskin iPhone 4

It’s simple. I love it. It makes my iPhone feel custom. It was easy to install (much easier than a screen protector) and the quality is pretty darn fantastic.
The only thing I didn’t realize was that the back piece isn’t a wrap around. For some reason I thought the back and sides were connected as [...]

Review: Targus Hughes Leather Portfolio Slipcase for iPad

This leather sleeve specifically designed for the iPad is topnotch. Though it has this portfolio-style look, the case acts much like a sleeve with the iPad sliding in snuggly.
There’s also a somewhat weak magnetic latch closure that slips into a slot. It’s actually a good thing that the magnetic closure is weak because the latch [...]

Fonts Fonts Fonts

I’m a typography junky. If I could show you my emotion through type, you’d probably get a better idea of how I really feel. I’ve uploaded a few of my favorite fonts below along with ways to use them in order to show variation. These are in no particular order and you’ll find the download [...]

Top 5 Cars of the Decade

I don’t know much about cars, but when it comes to the design of a car, I’m all about it. The engine, torque, suspension, etc.? Not so much, although at one point I tried learning about it all. I’m currently driving a Mazdaspeed 3 with an CAI installed, tinted windows and sport springs. That’s probably [...]

Dream House

As we were driving along the coast, we spotted a home that probably best represents the closest style we’ve seen to looking like our dream home (shape wise). Mark and I both want our house to be architectural modern, taking form of the many principles of minimalism, which is basically design stripped of the unnecessary.
A [...]

DIY Art Piece

So Mark and I saw an art piece the other day that we fell in love with it. Because it was so pricey, we decided to replicate it for our kitchen. The price tag was $500 and because we already have paint, two canvases and some art supplies, all we had to pay for were [...]

Kitchen Remodel Week 1

So far it’s been dusty, very noisy and flat out cluttered. I feel so helpless with this lack of organization through out the house. Other than what’s to be expected, things are going well. Seems a little slow, but I guess I’m stuck with the crap week where everything is being demolished, plumbing and electrical [...]

Sigma DP2 with Gordy’s Camera Strap

I find it to be stylish, old school and cool.

New Floors!!

Here’s a quick peek at our newly installed hardwood floors. The whole top floor was done and looks quite amazing. No more awful, heat absorbing, carpet!

Weekend Recap:

This weekend was devoted to renovations, patience and growing up. Probably the three things I need to work on most lol. Renovations take patience… which I don’t have when it comes to things like this… And growing up, because it’s hard.
As always, gotta have my starbucks. Nothing like an ice cold cup of coffee to [...]

Demolition DONE!

The right side of this backyard shed was a patio/storage room… that is before we got all Hulk on it with sledge hammers. We almost went all the way with the demo, except there was just so much to throw away and tile to break down that we had some professionals come in with their [...]

He’s Outta Control.

More from Mark:

He’s decided to start selling his paintings. Wish him luck!

Nintendo DS Lite + Final Fantasy IV

Ok, so I just bought myself a Nintendo DS Lite last Friday and I can tell you now, this thing is the fountain of youth. I’m pretty sure that over the weekend, I’ve managed to age backwards.
I found myself waking up at 7am on both Saturday AND Sunday to play video games. The difference was [...]

SketchBox

Seriously, this is one of the MUST HAVE FREE applications for mac. Forget stickies. This is the app it should have been and more. You can actually draw on your post-its, write notes and set alarms. Since I have a tablet, I’m gonna find this extremely useful at jotting down notes and to-dos on the [...]

Even as many progressives cheered and celebrated on Tuesday, I was one of many gay and lesbian Americans who felt we were watching the bus of progress leave the station without us. Gay marriage bans [...]

At one point…

I sculpted. I painted. I carved. I drew.

But ultimately fell in love with photography and design. I really should be editing wedding photos right now =P

Keith on Project Runway

was not as good as I hoped he would be. Plus he cried like a bitch. His garment in his closing episode was something I’d see at Charlotte Russe; a piece on the sale rack after it’s been tried on several times. Think hooker.

Left = ugly. Right = fabulous. Korto is the shit. Even [...]

Css Delight

CSS Type Set is my new bestfriend. This will totally cut down my save and refreshes.

Photo Actions Love

Just found this amazing action and wanted to use it. How cool is this? Don’t be alarmed if you see random cubes of images in the next couple posts.
P.S. I’d totally post the action except the 20 people that come here probably don’t care enough. lol.

Super Couch

Talk about taking design to another level. This is mad cool and 100% original. Not only is it a space saver for those residing in tight corners, but this super couch transforms into a two person sleep station. Of course, something like this would cost an arm, a leg, and maybe an eyeball, but [...]
