Back in grad school, in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, I worked on the concept of a business that would take-in files [pdfs] and then print them and ship the final book off to you.  I called it: Imprint.  The web design is in some dusty storage box on a floppy disk [remember those?]. ubyu has brought my idea alive and they look like they make a beautiful product.

Jawbone’s UP Release

by

I follow Fast Company and this is one of those things that is just so fabulous, I wished I had thought of it.  UP by Jawbone is a really revolutionary invention. You put on the wristband and then check in with your smartphone to check on: eating patterns, sleep cycles and exercise.  It costs $100 and will be available at Apple, Target, AT&T stores, and Best Buy.

Travis Bogard, Jawbone’s VP of product development sums it up perfectly, “Health isn’t about going to the gym three times a week. It’s about the thousands of little decisions that you make during the day. It’s about what you do in between those ‘healthy times.'”

Looking around for some vintage pinup clothing I started to pull together some ideas for the upcoming holidays and then created this Wish List. I hope you enjoy turning the pages and exploring some fashionable ideas as much as I did creating this magazine.

 

Steve Jobs Quote

by

Watched a documentary on Steve Jobs and want to remember this:

“When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is, and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life. Have fun, save a little money. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything around that you call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you.”  – Steve Jobs
