Pleasant memory: My ex-boyfriend ordered TimeWarner cable for the apartment we shared for six months after I graduated college. After we had a really nasty break up and he moved out, he left the cable box that neither of us planned on using. He told me to return it to TimeWarner. I didn’t feel like that was really my job, so I didn’t. Not returning a TimeWarner cable box is really bad news....

I have a real clog problem. I own seven pairs, as of this writing. It’s sick and I need to cut back, but jesus christ this design your own clog site just blew my mind. You can have, like, a yellow base with a purple upper. I’m dying, I’m dead.
A reminder from Marisa on the continuing awesomeness (and expensiveness) of clogs.
Milan's Tumblr Blog: Coffee as a new monetary unit →
I have come to realize that I can more easily justify smaller purchases by equating them to how many cups of coffee it equals. One example: Grooveshark’s VIP service will only set me back one cup of coffee per month. I could give up one cup of coffee a month for streaming music on my phone,…
This is a pretty brilliant money-spending/money-saving technique. (Need more...
My dad gets a free car! (Actually, not free)
janetpaskin:
I got the following email from my dad yesterday:
Hola Janet. Yesterday turned out to be a busy day. We got a brand new car- a 2010 VW Jetta- for FREE! We went out just to test drive the car- and the salesman told us about a special deal on a lease- 0 down , VW paid the licensing fees and the first month’s payment- so we have to pay 239 per month plus sales tax of 23 per month for...

Yeah, but does a prettier label mean a more expensive label, mean a less quality wine? SOMEONE MUST KNOW.

I just wanted to give credit for “Liquidity is the new luxury” to Tim Shey, a much more articulate person than me! He mentioned it at dinner last week when I described how much better it feels to spend money on food or travel than on things that clutter and distract from the wonderful people in my life.
A Data Visualization of 50 Cent's Career →
huffingtonpost:
Ever wondered what would happen if you jammed rapper 50 Cent’s career into an open-source data visualization program (built by Stanford engineers)?
We have too.
We love data and we love visualizations and we love 50 cent. (One of these things is not like the others.)
