I know I've sucked as far as posting goes in the past few weeks.... but it is the silly season.
I probably won't be back to regular posting until the new year. If you're going through withdrawls from my witty design ramblings then check me out every Tuesday over at 2modern.
Until then....

Hi Kids,
November in Australia is officially changed to MOvember. During the month of Movember ( Mo slang for mustache) I will be growing a lovely sculpted mustache to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer and general men's health research.
I would love if you guys could donate a few bucks in sponsoring my 70's porn-star style mustache, because it needs all the encouragement that it can get. I promise that if you guys have similar causes I will reciprocate with a donation and plug it on the site. Also, I will put up some progress photos very shortly.
To sponsor my Mo please go to http://www.movember.com/au
The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male depression.
For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the detail at: Fundraising Outcomes.
Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partés. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and Borat look-a-likes battle it out for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a Gala Parté ticket .
Thanks for your support

Hey kids, sorry I have been missing in action for a while... I flew home to DC a few days back and surpirsed the hell out my folks. It was great... nothing like almost giving your parents a heart attack by knocking on the their door at midnight. It's good to be back and I'm gonna enjoy myself. Will get back to posting as soon as I get back.

The "Water Me When I Tilt" vase is perfect for horticulturally challenged people like me. This new vase lets me know exactly when to water it because the equllibrium of the vase shifts as the water evaporates causing it to tilt. Brilliant!
