Sneaking Duck

I Love Sneaking Duck.  Love, Love, Love.  I bought two of their frames a few months ago and have been extolling their glasses to anyone who would listen.  They even fixed my broken frames when, on the second day of having them, I fell over, broke my arm, and broke my glasses.

I have the Sorbet and the Blue Hole.  There prices are so reasonable compared to what I was paying and they look so good! Now, if only they offered prescription sunglasses...

Friday Viewing/Listening

I love listening to commencement addresses, I think partly just because I love learning for the sake of learning.  There a lots of them on YouTube (Steve Jobs' one at Standford back in 2005 is a good one) but I found a new (to me) one via Afternoon Pity Party by David Foster Wallace (also from 2005).  I think listening to these speeches helps me justify my liberal arts degree :)

Paris vs New York

Back to 2010, I posted about the Paris vs New York posters.  Here is a lovely video follow up to the posters:

50 Things To Do If You Live In Brisbane

I love Brisbane, I really do.  There seems to be so much to do that I couldn't possibly fit it all in.  I found this list over at The Urban List and was thinking of creating my own.  There seem to be so many great websites that detail the what's what in Brisbane every week.  Apart from The Urban List, there is The Four Thousands, The Weekend Edition via Map Magazine, Meetup,  and this great book called 'Hide and Seek Brisbane'.  I initially discovered the Hide and Seek books when I was planning my first solo trip to Melbourne a few years ago.  It allowed me to explore the city and find some great places and things to do and the Brisbane one is the same.

If your looking for things to do or places to go in Brisbane I would highly recommend all of these sites. They all have great mailing lists as well so when Wednesday/Thursday hits, your mailbox is filled with all the things you can do in Brisbane over the weekend.

Lost Type Co

I love the fonts over at The Lost Type Co.  I recently bought one of their Ribbon Specimen Books and it is so beautifully designed and made.  Available at their store.

Best Best Cookies

So I found this great cookie recipe for Nutella & Sea Salt cookies over at Ambitious Kitchen via A Cup of Jo.  Steve made a batch last weekend and they only lasted a few days.  They really are the most delicious cookies I've ever eaten.
