Tree Top House

Posted by Jill Harness in Home & Garden, Pictures on July 10, 2009 at 9:53 pm

I’ve always been obsessed with tree houses, probably because I never had one. That being said, I couldn’t stop looking at these bizarre structures at the very tippy-top of the trees. For more cool tree houses, check out the rest of those on the Now That’s Nifty post of Amazing and Awesome Tree Houses.

Electronic Embroidery Kit

How cool is it to have a light up needlework project sold complete with the lights, wiring and battery to make it work? Way too cool, that’s how cool.

Scab Bandages

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts, Baby & Kids, Everything Else, Fashion, Funny, Odd News, Tattoo, Etc. on February 4, 2009 at 7:17 pm

When you need a bandage your options are rather limited – the traditional boring old band-aid or some embarrassing cartoon character-endorsed variation. Sometimes you just want something a little different and what can be better than these twisted scab bandages. They’re gross, fun and are far better than having Hello Kitty cover your boo-boo.

Keeping Tabs On The President

Posted by Jill Harness in Blog & Internet, Crime & Law, Politics, Science & Tech on January 24, 2009 at 5:31 am

Whether you love Obama or hate him, you’ll be happy to know there is now a tool to track how he has lived up to his campaign promises.

The Obameter has a compiled list of about 500 promises he made during the election run and it records if he: kept the promise, compromised, broke the promise, stalled the promise, is in the works on the issue or has not taken action on the promise. So far he’s stalled one, compromised on one and kept five, but it will be nice to see how he does in the long run.

I wish we had these for every president. I’d love to know how Kennedy, Lincoln or Andrew Jackson did on their promises.

Amazing Long Exposure Photos

Posted by Jill Harness in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on January 23, 2009 at 11:32 pm

Long exposure photos are so cool because they view things in ways your eyes never could. Digital Photography School has a great collection of long exposure images and the elapsed time it took for each image to come out. For some great images, I highly recommend visiting the site and looking at all of them.
