Made a new friend today. We cuddled a bit, I was the big spoon.

Spending my holiday weekend in Colorado. The natural beauty in this state is breathtaking.

Recently got a pair of Marc Jacobs jeans. My primary purchase incentive was not that they were 50% off (though that was nice), but rather that the back pockets double as Gmail icons. UM… PRODUCT PLACEMENT! :)

You know a product is successful when it appears in a Britney Spears video. Check out Google Maps at :04 in!

PS: The rest of the video… not really as watch-worthy.

Best banner ad EVER! This thing kept me clicking for minutes. It’s about time the Pringles man came to life. Genius.

Today the White House published their annual report, complete w/employee salaries. What if all public companies did this?

Would you opt in to make your salary known to the public?

This is pretty fabulous. “It’s a bank in your pocket!”

USAA rocks.

Obama ate here. Really cool mapplet and a great way to promote local restaurants in DC. I’d love to know which restaurants he went to TWICE - that would really push me to try them :)

A wedding dress made of toilet paper. Not kidding.

Pretty, recyclable and useful all the same.

Oooo Tumblr photosets… nice.

I <3 my old city. One of the best places on the planet.

Austin, Austin…how I love thee

by Lindsey M.

Tell me your story about your city, she asked me…

I’m not sure what to tell other than I came, I saw, I danced, I laughed, I ate, I drank, I ate again and I fell in love.
