素晴しい水曜日(Wonderful Wednesday) #4

1.  The Global Dynamics Charm from agirlfrommars on etsy is awesome.

My birthday is in November.  PS I am still super mad that the pricks at SyFy cancelled Eureka.  Also a bit upset that I'm missing this season to give it the ratings it deserves to show SyFy how big of morons they are.  Js.

2.  These next two things aren't really geeky but I've found them super useful.  I recently started working out and doing Couch to 5K.  You can see my journey here.  In the interest of getting fit I started Couch to 5K and found an app by Run Double that allows you to listen to external music on your phone or it has a music player and I love it.  It tells me when to run and walk, when I'm halfway and how fast I'm going.  Super useful and you can find it in the Droid Marketplace/Google Play.  I wasn't originally going to worry about counting calories but wanted to see how much I was burning so I got My Fitness Pal which is free and you plug in your food and exercises.  It also suggests what your daily calorie intake should be judging by how much weight you want to lose too.  Also in the Droid Marketplace/Google Play.  Both are available on the computer as well though Run Double is to check your stats and stuff.  My Fitness Pal lets you enter stuff online though.  ^w^
(Note: As of the most current Firefox Beta Run Double doesn't agree with it and it only partially agreed with Chrome but in Firefox 12 it's perfect.)

3.  Bear Food is a new site from the creator of The Oatmeal that users can vote on awesome links for the day.  I might be addicted.  Who needs productivity or to feed their children anyway? ^w~

4.  This hilarious and scarily accurate cartoon from one of my favorite webcomics- Gronk by Katie Cook.  If you don't read Gronk, well you should.  It's adorable and hilarious.

5.  Being an art nerd I freaking love this site of Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings.  Am I the only one that imagines him as he was in Ever After?  Genius but hilariously off his rocker?

So I'm working on a new way of compiling a list so I'll actually post this every week, lol.  Wish me luck. XD

1.  For those that don't know I collect cameras.  Mostly vintage ones but I was intrigued when I saw a post on FStoppers about this artist's cameras.  They are crazy.  Seriously, this one utilizes a skull:

Why did he use a skull?  It related to the subject he intended to photograph: "the beauty of decay".

Another? Has an infant heart in it which he used to take maternity photos.  He also has one that has blood from someone who has HIV in it which he "Designed to study and photograph a geographic comparison of people suffering from HIV."  Each camera has specific reasons for why he used what he did so I definitely suggest checking out the rest of the cameras from Boy of Blue Industries Cameras.

2.  Settlers of Catan Online.  For those who still don't watch TableTop on Geek & Sundry, this is one of the games they featured/played and in searching for it to add to my wishlist I discovered there is an online version for free.  Now I honestly haven't played more than the intro version because it's only free if you play with real people and I'm too afraid to.  Sad, but true.  I wanted to play a few computer rounds and get used to it but that didn't happen.  But it's there and I was super excited and hopefully I'll grow a set in the next few days and play a legit game, lol.

3.  Pintershit is back!  For a bit I was a  bit of a Pinterest addict and then I forgot to log in for a few weeks and I'm just now starting to check it again but this site takes ideas from Pinterest and tries them to see if they work and posts about them.  Yeah that button bowl?  Full (as full as a broken, holey bowl can be) of failyos.

4. Test Your Vocab is a fun little short test to gauge how large your vocabulary is.

5.  This Stargate T-shirt from PaganChick on etsy

Sorry this week isn't all that exciting.  Nasty headaches kill my creativity...

素晴しい水曜日(Wonderful Wednesday) #2

Notice this is only the second post.  Teaches me to wait until the day to post. >.<

Anyway... on with the show!

Oh and new: I've decided to limit it to 5 things every week so hopefully I can actually do this every week.  I have a 10 month old and I'm still buried under photo editing plus some planning for another event I don't dare mention just in case the persons it's for happen to stumble upon my blog so yeah...

1.  New Music Video from The Guild

Seriously in love with this.  I love The Guild and have loved their past MVs but this one is made of pure awesome and I'm currently listening to it on repeat. #obsession'd

2.  Geek & Sundry
Okay so actually #1 could be included in this one but whatever.  This is Felicia Day's new YouTube channel full of Geeky awesomeness that just launched Monday.  I'm in freaking LOVE.  So far my favs are FLOG and TableTop, 

3.  A couple of tumblrs
Fuck Yeah the Best Sailor Moon Cosplay
Sailor Failures
The first isn't actually a recent discovery but the second is.  The first is pretty self-explanatory but it's getting me seriously pumped for my Neo-Queen Serenity cosplay for NDK this September.
The second sounds like a mean blog but it's not and I just found it tonight but it's full of Sailor Moon-y goodness.

4.  New episodes of Eureka on Netflix
Been dying for new-ish Eureka.  Netflix and the internet are our TV so we're behind.  Still super sad (and angry at SyFy) for cancelling but I hope the 5th (and last) season really soars rating-wise since they cancelled it because they didn't seen any more growth for it. -_-#

5. Draw Something (Phone app available on Droid & iOS)
Also something I discovered a couple weeks ago but I became obsessed despite the fact that I have fat fingers and even on my huge phone screen (Droid X) I still tend to draw like a challenged dolphin with the shakes and a paintbrush in it's mouth.  It's fun though lately it's been a bit glitchy (of course AFTER I shelled out the money for it, okay can't whine it was only .99 but geez) and keeps dropping drawings and not finishing them for some reason but whatever it's super fun.

So there's my 5 for Wonderful Wednesday!  Hope I helped you discover something awesome this week. <3

素晴しい水曜日(Wonderful Wednesday) #1

As part of a goal to blog more I've decided to add another weekly post.  My geekery seems to have gotten lost and my blog has gone kind of spiritual.  While that's not a bad thing, it's really not the intent of my personal blog so I welcome you to 素晴しい水曜日Which roughly translates to Wonderful (or magnificent or even splendid) Wednesdays.  It's my favorite things I've come across on the internet over the week.  I'd have done Friday Favorites but since my PBP posts are for Fridays I wanted to spread things out a bit and add some routine with it.  So here we go!  Click on the pics to go to the page of the item.

< Cool graphic I haven't made yet / >

I have a slight bunny obsession and I'm pretty sure I need this shirt in my life.  Like a week ago.

 

 Geek Love by DorkusTee

(a new shop which I think may develop an obsession with if they churn out these kinds of t-shirts)

Omg this shop has tons of these headbands and I'm in love!!  I never really saw the appeal of this whole headband thing everyone seems to be into until now!  WANT!

Comic Kapow by JanineBasil

I'm also completely in love with this Bat'leth necklace.

On Etsy by TwoTree

However this same seller has the most awesome thing in her store that I would love to do with Sakura and Takara.  Assimilated pet portraits.

Is that completely awesome or what?  I want one so bad!

Hey could someone get me a beer?  No wait!!  I just need my wand.  And this t-shirt.

Accio Beer T-shirt by bareit

bareit also has this awesome onesie

Adorable!!

Oh and I think I may have finally figured out what to do with those floppy disks I have laying around (Ummm kids these are what we used to use instead of flash drives.  Now get off my lawn ya little bastards.)

Or you can buy an expertly made one by Fishstikks

Now this last one is one I discovered on EPBOT which is the personal the lovely Jen of CakeWrecks
Who you should follow on both blogs because she's awesome and geeky and if I ever meet her I will glomp her. 

Which unfortunately have sold out *sobs uncontrollably* but I'm totally going to check back at the shop to see when they come back in stock!  By LizGlizz

Well that's it for this week!!
