Creative Idea:  Would Your Brand Look Good As An Infographic?

Instead of just the regular “here’s who we are” and “here’s what we do”, which I think you’ll agree can be boring, spend some time introducing yourself online.
I stumbled on this video for the Dare Agency in London and thought it was pretty cool.

For The Love Of Popsicles….

Yay!!  Looks like popsicles are coming back in a gourmet way this summer with popsicle specific shops starting to open everywhere.  The flavors range from Raspberry / Mint / Lemon (left) to salted cucumber lime which is a far cry from the bomb pops we grew up on no?  LA has it’s very own Popcycle brand that brings fresh treats to the streets.  I love the idea of serving some of the fancy ones for a dinner party dessert.
This site has 50 gourmet popsicle recipes you can make at home.  …

[7 May 2009 | No Comment | ]

I’m pretty sure I can – and I’m dying to try to make a lamp lately. I’ve been really into those industrial looking, spot light-ish, lamps lately vs. the Design Within Reach-y kind that I was into last year. This is the case for making some of this myself because I inevitably look around my house once a year and go “I don’t like any of this…..” (insert dramatic diatribe on needing to replace everything in my entire house here)Or…… I could just buy it here.
