This digital eyedropper sucks up information from one screen and injects it wirelessly to another. Have a look at 40 seconds of amazingness: In this video I demonstrate how slurp can be used to move digital files between machines over the network. Rather than plug a USB drive into the port that corresponds with a [...]

Vermont: more than cheese & syrup
Last month I spent four days vacationing in the small resort town of Manchester, Vermont. During this trip we ate only at locally-owned restaurants and shops where I had some of the most freshly prepared food I have ever tasted. The one thing that I couldn’t help but notice was that each place had a [...]

table setting: name cards
This week I’ve been helping a very good friend with some details for her wedding tomorrow. For the table seating, we put together these lovely name cards (idea from Martha Stewart)! Sorry they’re only 1/2 finished in the photos below, but you can imagine how adorable they would be once they’re finished off with the [...]

tiles or coasters?
Wow. What a way to make a buck. I saw these glass tiles in a Japanese Wal-Mart-like shop in San Francisco. But aren’t these just the same tiles we can find in home improvement shops?

coffee corner
Dueling Starbucks and Peet’s coffee shops are located directly across the street from each other in the town of Alameda, CA (Bay Area).

a new vision for cookbooks

The imagery with perfectly fitting typography and soundtrack really indulges all of your senses while cooking.
