Everyone that likes to doodle or write poems knows that a good pencil always runs out at some point. Even if it has been your favorite pencil, there is nothing you can do about it. All good things come to an end as the saying goes. However, does it have to be like that? I personally always try to fi ...
Unravel Your Life With This Creatively Morbid Calendar
I can't decide if this is creatively cute or truly morbid. So, for the moment, I'll call it creatively morbid. We often read happy and cheery quotes about living life to the fullest and making the most of each day. I see these types of quotes daily on Twitter.
However, industrial designer Patr ...
Total Plug Safety: Keeps Geeks and Children Safe
This little invention makes me giggle because I think it's perfect for geeks and the children of geeks. If you are like me, you know what it's like to be so focused on a project (usually a DIY creation that requires electricity) that you pull out a plug and accidentally touch the metal pins too qui ...

Are you one of those people that can't go for a day without lighting some magic candles to set the mood when you're at home?

#LOL Can Animals Laugh Out Loud Like We Do?
I've always wondered whether or not dogs, cats and other animals ever find something funny and then laugh out loud. We all know that dogs wag their tails when they are happy. I've even seen my dog smile (really, I have) but I've never heard him laugh.
Today, after reading this article on Earth ...

An Evolution in Eye Glasses: A New Way to See The World
I have been wearing glasses since I was in grade school. I guess you can say that I am hard headed because I never listen to my eye doctor. I am suppose to wear my glasses everyday, but instead, I only wear them when my eye is strained or when I have a headache. As we grow older, our body ages al ...

Lingerie has always been presented in a multitude of colors, shapes and brands. Some like lesser wear while others like the larger better support.

Alien PEZ Dispenser: This Time You Eat It!
When the first Alien movie was released, I was still just a little kid not even worthy of my own bike.
