Before & After, & Hat

This is what I did to my bathroom today, completely redecorated- well for people who saw it, they will see a difference.

Because my biggest inspiration is designspongeonline.

The new look is warm, hopefully it will create some warmth for the upcoming months. Other than that, I have knitted a new hat for a friend.

Rss Obcession Websites

I love Rss Readers because all my feeds come into one place. For months, I have been using Google Reader. I have selected a very long list of sites to keep up with (and may not necessarily read them all). My favorite are those that inspire me daily. For example:
FFFFOUND
!  - my favorite because it’s usually postings of eye candy.

Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog - I love this dearly

My Life In A Cube - This guy is amazing, sometimes it’s like my job.

I will do a part 2 of this.

No acquisitions.. but Daniel Blackman rips Barack Obama?

Well unless they had the same designer… maybe

just maybe.

Obama’s site is absolutely beautiful. Following all the aesthetic goodness of well-balanced, sophisticated and clean design. And, I guess someone thought we wouldn’t notice, or there were many reasons why.



Yah there’s something eerily similar.

But let’s not mistake the logos as well…

What do you know, the backgrounds match perfectly…

Well of course, the only places that needed to be changed was where Obama’s Logo was right?

I sort of wished that when I navigated to “Meet Daniel Blackman” it didn’t show the page title as: Untitled Page.

What’d you know, I found this on You Tube.
