Barbie the Computer Engineer


This is late news, but I am still excited about it. We finally have a Computer Engineer Barbie! She comes with a pink laptop, binary tee, and bluetooth. Not sure how I feel about the glasses though. Has anyone bought one? I am tempted just because it's so awesome they did this. (Thanks Niniane for pointing me to this)

FourSquare moment of Glory



The Driskill in Austin was packed with Silicon Valley types, many waiting in line to order beer at the bar. I bought 2 cases for the group I was with and became a sudden hit... and yes... was "trending" on FourSquare. 

Best story I heard was someone at 2AM in Austin was looking for the party and saw "Siobhan" was trending. Showed up the location but couldn't find the venue. Hilarious. Thanks Allen Romero, Mike Stachowiak, Kelly Seaman and Guy Marion.

I heart Moo

Just ordered my own, personal business cards by finding cool images on iStockPhoto & uploading them to moo.com. Pretty impressed with how easy moo makes it to create unique cards. Wish they had more fonts though.

Dear Moo, meet typekit

Anyways, here's what my cards will look like!

Personalized home stamps!


Thanks to Design Sponge and my friend Michelle, I learned of Holly's Houses. A small company in England that makes personalized stamps of your home.

One of my favorite things is finding the perfect, personalized gift. Can't wait to order these for Christmas next year!

Oxfords


Women's Oxfords are everywhere right now.... and though I like the idea and preppy fashion in general I am hesitant to buy a pair.  For some reason I feel they are unflattering. We'll see... I'll probably be sporting a pair in a couple weeks :p
