This Pickle Bottle Stopper made me smile. I believe in the world needing a good dose of silly.

The Mid Century Garage Door
I love the internets for various reasons, but especially when I stumble upon sites like this one, dedicated to Garages. Definitely love their post on Mid Century Garage Doors.

Dog Names for Graphic Designers
Yesterday, over lunch, we were talking about dog names here at Studiomates. And it just so happened that I stumbled upon this dog name graphic. Made me chuckle. I am personally hoping to run running into Khoi in the park one day, to whitness him calling for his dog, Mr.President.
What’s your dog’s name?

rhubarb + ginger crumb bars
Our newest studiomate, Kelly Carambula, started her first day off with a bang: She brought in these homemade Rhubarb and Ginger Crumb Bars. Little did she know that I have a slight obsession with Rhubarb (along with Brussel Sprouts)!
Kelly *just* posted the recipe on her site Eat Make Read, so now I can try to take a stab at them myself. Woohoo!
Training Dummies
I just paid a visit to one of my favorite blogs, Mrs. Easton, and was amazed by these Training Dummies. Would you have known what they are for, just by looking at the photos? I didn’t. I thought they were a boating accessory.
These are used in the training of hunting dogs and are typically made out of either canvas or rubber. One throws the dummy – maybe some animal or bird scent is impregnated or rubbed onto the thing – and then the good puppy goes and fetches the duffle-shaped decoy and gets a reward upon its safe return.
Fascinating! And they sure are visually pleasing, no?
Timo Handmade
How adorable is this little doll family? Talk about character! Found it over on Etsy in Timo Handmade’s Shop.
Body Hotel
This video is the brainchild of David Luepschen and was created using a mixture of stop-motion and realtime-video. The elements are made out of cardboard and wood – supplemented by an animated vector graphic. Fascinating.
Rainbow Parade Preparations
You should see what’s currently going down at the South wing of Studiomates. Jessi is in full preparation mode for tommorrow’s rainbow parade. And the above image pictures Jessi in her apartment, after her giant balloons were just dropped off.
If you’re in NYC, and have a love for color, come and join us for the World’s Largest Rainbow Birthday Parade, which includes a 20 People Marching Band. You can just show up, just make sure to be dressed in one color from head to toe!
Coca-Cola Hug Machine
The Coca-Cola Hug Machine takes hugs instead of money. Because vending machines have feelings too. #mademesmile

Pancakes Venn Diagram
This Pancake Recipe Venn Diagram made me chuckle.
Could anyone tell me who to give credit to? I found it here, but there’s no credit and a Tineye Search came up empty. SUPER GIANT FACEPALM: It’s by Stephen Wildish.
