Sunday summary

Something new: every Sunday I'll post a recap of the previous week's postings. You can see if you missed anything interesting during the week, or you can just visit on Sunday to see what's been happening. Let me know what you think of this idea.

Dec. 14: Not your typical cup of tea

Detail of teacup
Possibly the world's cleverest tea cup/tea bag combo. You put the pyramid-shaped tea bag—oops, I mean infuser—in the cup, add boiling water, and top it off with the cup's special lid. You end up with this whimsical sprout. If you need a special gift for that special tea (or design) fanatic, this is it. More...

Dec. 15: Take me, I'm yours

Detail of note

Dec. 18: Finished

Detail of website

Finally done with grading for the semester. Today I want to share a few projects from the Monday/Wednesday Web Publishing I class.

Dec. 19: Ducks & teapots

colorful duck

I like buying gifts but I hate Christmas shopping. If I were a better person I'd make thoughtful hand-crafted items filled with love and creativity for everyone on my list. I think about that a lot, but after the Chex mix debacle I'm not as motivated. More...
