Fancy Nails!!
Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips - Laced UpThis is my first time applying nail polish strips and oh man, it was so much harder than I was expecting! I’m not going to detail the steps because they come with good detailed instructions, but I will say don’t expect this to be easier than actually painting your nails. Luckily they give you extra strips in the package because I ended up using all of them due to 3 initial misfires. I think with practice it will get a lot easier and I do think they look really cool!
Another interesting new thing that popped up on Hacker News. TinyProj allows designers, devs, copywriters, and illustrators to sign up for a weekly email that pops up in your inbox on Saturday mornings with tiny legit projects that average a duration of 7 days with about a $2K budget. And for $25, anyone that needs help meeting a certain criteria can post their project. Now this is an interesting concept! Read more about it here.
There’s a new web app that recently appeared on Hacker News called IFTTT (If this, then that) which allows you to “put the internet to work” simply by creating a task such as:
IF (posting photo from this Instagram account) THEN (upload photo to my Dropbox account)
You can do a ton of interesting combinations…
IF (weather is 85+ degrees) THEN (text me to remind me to put on sunscreen)
or
IF (craigslist post for X search term) THEN (email me a notification).
The possibilities seem endless. Pretty neat, eh?
brit:
HTML for Babies. Yes, this is a real book with colorful words wrapped in mark up tags, designed to start acquainting your little one with geekiness. Part of me loves it, part of me thinks it’s a little absurd. I’m (obvs) leaning towards the former.
Regardless, it would be a fun baby shower gift for a friend… even if they take it as a joke :)
Editor’s note: No, I’m not planning on having a baby soon. But I AM getting a puppy! (Think they can make HTML for Puppies?) More on that coming soon.
Hahaha… love this!

I want to go to the park today
I want to go to the park and lay
I want to go to the park and play!
Go for a run
In the sun
Eat a hotdog in a bun
I want to go to the park and say
“Yay!!!!”
