Moooo

Recently I have been enviously eyeing some friends’ beautiful cards made with Moo, so I finally gave the printing company a try with a set of new Mochimochi Land business cards. Nice results!

If you’re not familiar, Moo is a UK company that prints all kinds of business cards, stickers, greeting cards, etc. They’re a bit pricier than some printers, but their uploader system is very easy to use (and fun because you can upload up to 50 images for a different image on each card), and they also have great customer service. I know a lot of crafters and people with small businesses use them, and with good reason!

Braid

Thanks to my better half, I’m hooked on a new video game: Braid, a platform game download for the Xbox.

Braid is a game of puzzles that uses time manipulation as both a tool and a philosophical theme. I love how the artwork, a wash of swirling watercolor skies, underscores the sad and mysterious narrative.

Curious lion-like creatures that inhabit the game’s landscape are also a nice touch.

Sadly, I’m not too far from the end of this brief game right now. It’s like a good book that I wish wouldn’t be ending so soon.

John blogged about it on Geek Out New York last week, so I’ll direct anyone interested in reading more to his post.

Baby Donkey Celebrates

There’s a bit of boasting going on around here, after a night of election results and too much soda pop…

Our little Democrat is trying to offer some consolation his red friend, though, with a suggestion that he join the blue team. (Not likely, I think.)

Here’s to our shiny new president!
