There are two reasons why I'm writing about this topic today. The first is because I'm craving a cupcake, and since there are none within a ten-mile radius of where I am right now, I thought writing about them might make me feel better. The second reason is to highlight a data visualization trend we ...

Custom Hairball Jewelry Made From Your Pet’s Hair

Do you have a cat? If so, look down at your clothes; do you have cat hair on you? I'm not much of a cat person, but my dear friend @mistygirlph loves cats. Her family in the Philippines has over twenty of them in their home, so I will dedicate this article to her. Whether you have dogs or cats or ...

Creativity Takes Courage: 5 Ways To Build Your Courage

"Creativity takes courage" is one of my favorite quotes. It's an oldie but a goodie from Henri Matisse. It's so true. Creativity really does take a lot of courage. When creative people express their emotions through their artwork, writing or music, and they present it to the world to see on the Inte ...

Environment: Mushrooms Break Down Disposable Diapers

When I was researching this topic today, I couldn't help but think of a recent article Richard wrote called Gross Foods That You Want To Eat Anyway.

The Reason Kids Shouldn’t Cook Unsupervised [Humor]

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone has a cooking show these days? It's so popular now that cooking shows are even becoming the butt of Internet jokes everywhere. I remember when Charlie Sheen did his Winning Recipes cooking show spoof for Funny or Die. To me, funny little videos like that a ...

13 Disturbingly Evil Easter Bunnies

I was trying to get passed this Easter holiday without writing a post like this. After all, there is no need for me to subject you to my unusual ways. I've already written about how clowns (especially Ronald McDonald) freak me out. However, I couldn't resist. Let me get right to the point. Is it ...

Ultimate Mashup: Angry Rebels & Imperial Pigs

I never thought I'd see the day when I would be writing about such an odd sounding mashup, but it works, and the artwork is so much fun! It makes sense really. Can't you see the obvious connection between some really angry birds and Luke Skywalker? Yeah, I didn't see the connection either, until I s ...

3 Ways Social Media Teaches Us About Forgiveness

The word forgiveness means different things to different people. For me, forgiveness is a huge part of maintaining a happy life. I once heard someone say that if we withhold forgiveness, it's like allowing a snake to bite us over and over again. It's such a heavy burden to hold onto any negative tho ...

Bibliophilism: The Rug Made Out Of Books

The unusual creations people put up at home, or design themselves for a more personalized home, are beyond amazing sometimes. Some people even go beyond the imagination of a creative person, and their design gets on the map of amazing creations. But coming up with something new is getting more and m ...

Superpowers Mega Chart: They Are ALL Here

It seems to be one of those days when everything we are writing about is on one single subject. I'll see if I can switch it up a little on my next article, but this one is way too awesome to pass up. I mean, who could ever pass up an opportunity to write about superpowers in the first place, especia ...

Game Boy Music: But Not The Kind We’re Used To

Writing and producing music has a lot of facets that most people are unaware of. There are several procedures that you do to get the sounds, instruments and vocals to really pop out of a mix to make it break through the overall noise of a song. With today's technology, you don't have to have expensi ...

Fun Design: Fuzzy Felted Marshmallow Peeps

This is such a fun time of year. I always look forward to coloring eggs and collecting marshmallow peeps. Yep, that's right, since they pretty much taste like sugared plywood, I don't eat peeps. But they are so darn cute, so I like to collect them in all different colors and keep them in a basket in ...
