Photography: X-Ray Technology Turned Into Art
X-ray photography is so cool, isn't it? The society we live in is very image oriented, but looking at an x-ray takes us behind that image.

Sesame Street: You’ve Never Seen Bert & Ernie Like This!
Sesame Street was such a huge part of my life when I was in elementary school. It's hard to believe that show started in 1969, and it's still broadcasting today. In 2009, on the show's 40th anniversary, it was the number 15th highest rated children's show in the States.
According to Wikipedia, ...

Ho Ho Ho: The Ultimately Geeky Holiday Wreath!
I always have a wreath on my front door this time of year. I'm lucky because I never really had to learn how to make them.

Love Your Street: Recycled Paper Puts Love On A Wall
Far too many times, no matter where I go, I see streets so lifeless and out of sync with today's highly spiritual and technological climate.

Eating Disorders: The Painful Truth Drawn In Colored Pencils
This artist's work struck a chord with me because I'm personally very close to someone that is struggling with an eating disorder. It's not as uncommon as you might think.

The Increasing Importance Of Optimizing Your Blog’s Images

Teva High Heels: Climb That Mountain In Style!
Well hallelujah! What took so long for someone to design this? You are familiar with Teva shoes, right? Where I live, we refer to them simply as "Tevas" and most outdoorsy people have them. I wear mine whenever I'm outside camping, hiking, walking through a river or creek, gardening, etc... They ...
