Apartment Therapy, the awesome community driven interior design blog, featured one of my photos today! The article is about Fiestaware collections, and they chose to run my photo as the main image for the entire post. Being an established reader and fan of Apartment Therapy, it’s a great feeling to see one of own photos displayed on their front page. Combined with the knowledge that many more people across the world will also see my photo makes for a very exciting day here at MissAnthropolgoy.com.

Thanks again to Apartment Therapy for choosing to run my photo!

When I first discovered this handmade file from lovelydesign, it was backordered and then temporarily discontinued. However, I decided to put myself on the wait list in hopes that they would eventually be brought back. After months of waiting, Sharilyn (the creator of the address file) contacted me saying that she had one ready just for me!

My lovely address file arrived the other day and it was definitely worth the wait. I think it will make a nice home for my recipes, which are currently scattered all over the place.

If you would like an address file of your own, contact Sharilyn directly at sharilyn[at]lovelydesign[dot]com. You will be put on the wait list, but don’t worry because it’s completely worth it! Also, please make sure you are doing business through lovelydesign and Sharilyn, because I have seen many imitators on Etsy.

It’s been almost a year since I switched back to WordPress and I’ve finally gotten around to making my site look a bit nicer. In the process, I’ve learned a lot about CSS and PHP and how the two work together. I caused a few fatal errors in my learning, but that’s all part of the process, right?

Things still aren’t exactly how I want them; I’m not totally happy with how images are handled when inserted into a post. Also, the header image is more or less a place holder until I take some new pictures. The aspect ratio is a bit odd, so I’ll have to find one with a fair amount of negative space so the cropping isn’t obvious.

Anyway, if you notice anything buggy/ugly/etc while you are using my new site, please leave a comment for me on this post. I’ll try and fix it as soon as I am able! It should be noted that I have only viewed my site in Safari 4.0.3, so I really have no idea how things look in IE, Firefox, what have you.

Thanks! Hope you like it!

After playing with iWeb for a few months, I am finally switching back to WordPress. This is partially due to the fact that it is a pain to update my website the “old fashioned way” with FTP. While I really liked how my website looked, it just didn’t function as well as I wanted. With this newest version of WordPress, the choice was clear. WordPress has come a long way, and I know they will continue to get better (unlike my former WYSIWYG, or sometimes get…).

Now I just need to make my WordPress site not look like a WordPress site and I’ll be happy.

Not only does Mr. Firth produce drumsticks and mallets, he also has a line of kitchen accessories. They look really well made and are endorsed by hotshots Oprah and Mario Batalli.

I have my eye on the Dark Orange “Ciudad” pepper mill.

I was surprised to see the Dyson Airblade being used in some of the Sky Harbor bathrooms. Of course I had to use it, and it really does work much better than other hand dryers; quite stylish, too. You won’t be receiving any bacon from these machines.

I made these for one of The Boy’s bands, Backyard Shark. They were meant to be the main theme for an interactive website, but we never got around to making it. Hopefully, we’ll get to it soon.

I am really liking these new ceramic tiles by Jason Miller. He was inspired by the colorful shipping containers seen in shipping yards across America.

If you’ve ever watched Alton Brown’s show Good Eats, then you know how awesome his Kitchen Aid mixer is. This website claims to give you the same hot rod Kitchen Aid look for around $20 instead of the $150 custom paint shops charge. Using vinyl stickers you can instantly transform your mixer into something Alton would approve of.

Even though no new hardware was announced in the Jobsnote today, there still are a few shiny things over at Apple.com. For starters, the whole website has been overhauled in order to coincide with the new look of Leopard. Nice sleek buttons and sidebars plus a Spotlight-esque search bar! Would we expect anything else? Head over and check it out, and while you’re there download the new public beta of Safari 3 (for Mac, Windows XP and all 25 editions of Vista!)
