WatchHow fun do these look? Chalktrail, a device that allows you to attach a piece of chalk to your bike tire or scooter wheel and draw while you ride. I know the target market might be a decade or two younger than I am (yikes, is this when I start to feel old?) but I want one! I have a feeling it would take all of two minutes for me to end up crashed, though, having spent too much attention on the...

A disappointing realization about Coroflot.
This was not supposed to be a critique of Coroflot. This was supposed to be a critique of a few portfolios hosted by Coroflot. Unfortunately I was so uninspired and frustrated by the process of looking through those portfolios that I decided a critique of Coroflot was of much greater importance.

Read these books!
So, working a part time job and living at home may not be the most desirable position to be in, but it certainly has perks.
