Movie Monday: Warehouse 13

you can actually order these here at Datamancer.

Ok, embarrassing as it is, I have been watching Warehouse 13 lately. We didn't have a TV* until yesterday, and I think I may have exhausted the Netflix archive of decent shows. There is a soft spot in my heart for sci-fi, and steampunk items, even though that might push me into the 'big fat nerd' corner. I'll just be honest, and tell you that I wish I had this keyboard, and pretty much everything in the office of the show. There is a giant wall of card file drawers, and another wall of slightly larger file drawers, and I want them very much. The acting is terrible, and the story is crap. I just watch it for the props.

Getting ready for Thursday, Alice

*Our tv has been in 3 repair shops since October. I got it back yesterday with the original problem fixed, but with a giant crack in it. Wonderful. Portland people, steer clear of Sharper Video on 50th & Division.

Across the Pond

I just found Largom.com {a free online interiors magazine
for Ireland and the UK} And since I am a huge sucker for all things British Isles, I had a great time snooping through projects and interiors, papers and people. The home above was literally falling apart, and through some creative engineering was salvaged into a super modern space, in the middle of beautiful nowhere.

Thank you Sinead, {I wish I could say that everyday... it is so satisfying!} Alice

Coke Robot

Look at him, on the moon or some other planet, protecting the universe and still, dispensing coke.

And this guy, while in the middle of some kind of world war,  he manages to offer refreshment across the front lines.

If we were as cool as Japan, we would have a real live Coke Robot on our streets, defending humanity, and selling soda.
