happy weekending | of gifts & file formats

It’s a dismal March-like day and I’d like nothing better than to sit in one of these chairs with a book and a friend until spring was here for reals.

My birthday last weekend was a wonderful couple of days with people I love, gifts I liked (the playbutton for instance!) and a much-anticipated wedding at the Naval Academy. The bride and I actually share a birthday – same year and everything! We thought that was pretty shweet.

In other news I’d love one of these overpriced typewriters.

The have a USB connection so you can connect them to your computer or iPad, and actually type! Sure they’re the essence of postmodern technology crippling the simple goodness of yesteryear, but as someone who’s written stacks of letters on her own typewriter I think they’re pretty ingenious. (unless they’re a giant hoax that I’m the last to hear about… that happens pretty often.)

Photojojo wins again with file format necklaces! Now all photogs can show off our nerdulent love of NEFs, CRDs, and JPEGs.

On a less selfish note, I’d like to mention my friend Russell who’s leaving in 37 days, 7 hours, 31 minutes and a few seconds for a bike trip across America.

He’s doing it to raise funds and awareness for Young Life’s outreach to orphans in the Ukraine and I’m so impressed by the venture. If you’re able to donate anything towards his trip I know that’d be much appreciated.

Be safe & be courteous.
