Genius. The gray bearded stocking hat will most definitely be a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, who is on the light side of the facial hair spectrum. =)

A Perfect Pour by Plaid
By Karey in Food, Illustration, Life
Stumbled across this amazing poster by Plaid while browsing Design Sponge this weekend. Not sure if I appreciate so much because I'm relying on homemade cups of joe to make it through this summer, or because it brings back wonderful memories of waitressing in Tasmania a couple years back . . .

Strange Signs From Abroad
By Karey in Life, TravelStumbled across this AMAZING article and collection of strange and funny signs from abroad. Brings back great memories of traveling in Asia when we would encounter humorous English translations on brochures, signs, and billboards. Unfortunately in Australia I never got to see the infamous 'Merge Like a Zip' road sign so many fellow travelers told me about. A few examples from The New York Times article are posted below, but definitely check out all 176 of them at Strange Signs From Abroad!

Found Functions
By Karey in Design, Environment, Life
Interesting collection of images by RIT student Nikki Graziano that examine mathematical functions found in nature. I personally find mathematical patterns in the natural environment fascinating from studying them in Architectural school. If you are interested in researching more, definitely check out The Self Made Tapestry: Pattern Formation in Nature by Philip Ball. View more of Graziano's images below:

Astronaut Soichi Noguchi
By Karey in Environment, Life, Photography, TravelSpent over an hour today browsing Japanese Astronaut Soichi Noguchi's photos from aboard the International Space Station, which orbits the Earth every 90 minutes. His collection of photos, posted to his Twitter account, are breathtaking and spectacular, perhaps riving my dream of being an astronaut. Click each photo or caption below for link to higher resolution version.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
By Karey in Fashion, Life, WebYes, I did get my boyfriend a tee shirt for Valentine's Day that reads "You are the CSS to my HTML" . . .
No shame in my game! Better than these HTTPanties for myself . . .
Buy your own "CSS to my HTML" tee at Pop + Shorty. Or head over to ThinkGeek.com for a larger variety of nerd apparel.

Too Many Toys?
By Karey in Articles, LifeFound this article over at jesssica.tumblr.com interesting and perhaps an explanation for my imaginary childhood friends Mickey and Hawkavin :
“They [kids] get overwhelmed and over-stimulated and cannot concentrate on any one thing long enough to learn from it so they just shut down. Too many toys means they are not learning to play imaginatively either.”
A study by the University of Stirling recently concluded that expensive, hi-tech toys are a waste of money - children learn just as much from playing with an old mobile phone.
So should parents chuck the lot? Perhaps. In Germany, two public health workers, Rainer Strick and Elke Schubert, persuaded a Munich nursery to pack away all playthings for three months out of every year, leaving the children with nothing but tables, chairs, blankets and their initiative. Then they watched what happened.
Initially, the children were bored but by day two they had turned tables and blankets into dens and were absorbed in make-believe games. They became more imaginative and contented, and in the process learned to concentrate, communicate better and integrate more in groups.
