JK informed me of this fantastically crazy site that uses Google Chrome, Google Maps and the amazing music of Arcade Fire.

The Song I'm Currently Digging

Saturday, August 28, 2010

It's all over the radio and I recently found out that DT toured with them (perhaps I should have been around more over the last 5 years...) But I digress. Down With Webster. Canadian. Amazing.


"I've never been in love, I've only been in clubs And that's why I picked you up, linked it up, walked up, clinked your cup"

Anything else you're listening to?

The Real World: Sydney (again)

Sunday, August 22, 2010

I visited Sydney a bunch of times over the last year. The Culture. The Shopping. The Sights. The Sounds-- I couldn't get enough of it!

This is one a few photos from a photoshoot around Sydney when my friend SB came to visit! I absolutely love this dress from Myer! (Pretty colours, one shoulder ruffle... cute, non?)


Really, if you haven't been to Sydney, you need to add it to your list of places to visit!

That being said, if you haven't managed to make to Australia at all, I highly recommend it! (and miss it dearly!)

From the Inspiration Files

You know, I really need to get a place, heaps of money, and access to the best design stores!






Once again-- I love these designs (the reason they are in the creative inspiration files!) if they are yours- let me know so I can give credit where credit is due! 

Getting Your Way: 101


Fantastic image, I reckon! Found here 

If you've ever worked in any kind of customer service, you'll understand that yelling at people will never get you ahead-- ever.


I always liked to think, "Ok, you're yelling at me because you used this product for 6 months and the plastic thingermabobber fell off when you threw it off your balcony? and you want a full refund?*"... Oh, people! 


Anyway, I was reading the Harvard Business Review (yeah, yeah, geek, I know) and I came across this article about how to get your way... THE NICE WAY! 


It's really worth a read: Live Life As An Experiment  


As the author writes: "when we live life as an experiment, we are far more willing to take risks, to acknowledge failure, to learn and develop. That's what experiments are all about: discovery and growth" 


Maybe nice guys finish first? 








*Not an actual story, but it feels pretty accurate, doesn't it?
