Coolness

Umm, how cool is this. I’m taking my mom to go and see Bryan Adams at the Overture Center in May! She’s super psyched.

I’m just bought some super beautiful cards from the Etsy shop of Dutch Door Press after seeing them on Design*Sponge.

Layer Cake, which is also on Etsy, has the cutest stuff! I need to put an order it, but I can’t make up my mind what to buy! (Thanks Katie!)

The New York Times has a great graphic breaking down Facebook’s expansion over the past five years. (The related article is also interesting!)

Mari Kasurinen’s Hollywood flavored versions of My Little Ponies are so cool! (The most I ever did to mine was pierce their ears!) Check out the entire series here. (via Jezebel)

Wow! I love the Robin’s Egg Birch clutch. The fabric is fab, but the handle really puts it over the top!

My buddy Kyle always has great posts about Lost, and this week is no exception. Check it out if you want your mind blown.

Our new president might be embattled, but at least he cares about what the people think. Want to get in touch? Send him a question anytime. (via The Cap Times)

And ending on a not awesome note, the Coen brothers have tabled their film version of The Yiddish Policemen’s Union in favor of a True Grit remake.

Sex! Drugs! Rock n’ Roll! The inevitable downward spiral! Behind the Music is back! (via Jezebel)

Logo Design Love has a great post featuring Matt Siber’s photos of floating logos. I would love to buy one of these for the Rx.

Head on over to Creature Comforts to view lovely springtime photos by Leslie-they are the essence of springtime. I especially love the cherry blossoms and the rabbits-especially because I’m in the middle of re-reading Watership Down.

And if you want everlasting cherry blossoms head on over to Graham and Greene for the electric version. I think I’m going to pick some up for my deck! (via Design*Sponge)

The School of Life Alternative Job Center

Mar 17
2009

To coincide with Alain de Botton’s new book, The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, The School of Life is reinventing itself as an alternative job centre throughout April. But we’re inviting turning the usual way jobs are advertised on its head. Rather than invite employers to advertise jobs for us to squeeze our ourselves into, we’re inviting you to write your an ad for the job of your dreams, and let employers decide if they are able to offer it to you.

My knee jerk reaction was “This idea is twee and fanciful, give me a break.” But then I started thinking that maybe this approach is the one that makes the most sense. What do you think?
