Cool Fish People

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Four women who work at the Monterey Bay Aquarium made a lens that is THE ultimate virtual field trip. Have you ever considered underwater gardening? Scuba diving in a kelp forest? Changing your boring career and starting fresh as a jelly-fish wrangler?
Before you head off for lunch, take a look at the "Real Cost [...]

Baby Poop

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life gives you poop (and it always does)....make art. Monica Moody made a lens all about baby poop, and I think it's hilarious. I don't have a baby, but that doesn't matter one bit. It's incredible what people can do with the resources they have. For all [...]

Color: Meaning, Symbolism & Psychology

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Maybe it was luck, but I think it might have had something to do with the vibrant color red. [...]

Make Your Own Fairy Wings

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Rachel Schwarz consistently impresses us with her lenses. I mean, really. It's hard to pick a favorite.
Once I thought my favorite was her Kitsch lens: http://www.squidoo.com/kitsch.
Another time I thought maybe I liked her Pez one best: http://www.squidoo.com/pez.
And then there's the more esoteric take on what it "means" to be Purple: http://www.squidoo.com/purple.

The Cuse

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Football season is underway, big time.
And our new friends over at College Football Talk are looking for the best team or player lenses there are.
Here's CFT's original post calling for college fans to speak up and reap the rewards:
"Q: Why do you know more about football than all your friends?
A: Who cares, but you've earned [...]
