Ladies: hang those bags!

 
Okay! It may not be the most important thing in the world, but keeping a lovely (expensive?) handbag looking nice can be quite a challange. I own a white Le Pilage handbag from Longchamps, yes you read that correctly: white! And although I found a good way to clean Le Pilage hanbags, prevention is better [...]

Gross out for halloween

Well it’s almost that time of year, when gouls and ghosts, witches and warlocks and skeletons and slime are accepted as the norm. Yes I’m talking of halloween! So why not Gross Out your self digitally as well. All you need is a pic of you or a friend. Add some bit and pieces and [...]

Reverse image searching

 

Have you ever wanted to find something online and all you have is an image? I have. It’s very frustrating. Where do you start, except with a discription – which usually gets you nowhere. Exactly, so praise the creation of reverse image searching. You upload a picture from your harddrive or you enter a url [...]

Will social networking destroy us?

I’ve alway been keen on communication. My mom often says she needed earplugs once I started talking as I just wouldn’t stop. Throughout the years I’ve kept up this talkative reputation and only in the last decade I’ve mellowed down a bit. Trying to think once in while before blurting things out. Pacing myself. Not [...]

Blog issues

I’m glad to report we are back up and running smoothly (touch wood) for the moment. After updating to Wordpress 2.8 everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. It has taken us some time (and a complete re-install) to get things fixed, but hopefully they are (and will remain) up and running.

Plurk-mania

I blame Miss V from Lime & Violet. In her last three podcast she and co-host Carin didn’t shut up about it and I finaly checked it out. And yes, yes it is as expected the black hole of no return. Once you take the plunge you won’t ever see daylight again. Well, sort of. [...]

Halo

I love Dutch Design. It’s so hip and happening. A while back I spotted this great blog called Minirobot. It has all sorts of great, crazy items. Like the very funny and thankfully only visualy offending (your nose is safe) ‘fart pants‘. Yes! I know and I’m not joking either…
Odor free!! (thankfully)
But what I really [...]
