Looking back on my posts from last January, I stumbled on this one. I thought it might be fun to update the project with my tweets from 2009. So, here it is, with @replies removed again. Thanks to TweetScan and Wordle for the fun and insights!

Puzzle Pieces

Some things, some people, just fit together undeniably. And, no matter how hard you try, you can’t unfit yourselves.

This photo album of pictures from the Neon Sign Graveyard is so amazing that I had to share it here. For obvious reasons, below are a few favorites :)

I’ve lost some good things in life. Some have been replaced by GREAT things, some haven’t. I hope there’s more great things to come.

Emotional Craziness

Ahhh, the roller coaster of emotions I had this week. Yeah, girls are crazy and fickle. This is clearly proof :)

Just having fun with a few of my favorite brands. Can you guess what they are?

Movies of the '80s

This week, Director and Writer John Hughes passed away. He directed eight movies and wrote countless scripts. Some include The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Weird Science, Curly Sue, Beethoven and Home Alone. Classic movies, huh? With classics, always come memorable quotes. Here’s a few of my favorites:

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:
A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Pretty in Pink:
You said you couldn’t be with someone who didn’t believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn’t believe in myself.

Andie, hon. Listen, it’s after 7:00. Don’t waste good lip gloss.

Sixteen Candles:
Would you stop feeling sorry for yourself? It’s bad for your complexion.

When you don’t have anything, you don’t have anything to lose. Right?

That’s why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they’d call them something else.

The Breakfast Club:
You ask me one more question and I’m beating the shit out of you.

We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.

I could keep going on and on, instead, check out this compilation or get your fill at IMDB.

Every feel like this about the person you’re currently dating? Never settle… always wait for the butterflies :)

The Best Part of Minneapolis

I can’t pinpoint why, but I am insanely and madly in love with the Giant Cherry Spoon. Okay, it’s official name is, “Spoonbridge and Cherry,” but that just sounds boring.

After getting home and looking at some additional pictures, I realized there’s a fairly large lake around the sculpture. It’s a good thing I was wearing non-waterproof boots. Knowing me, I would have tromped through the snow to get a closer look, managed to break the ice and fall into the icy water :) I also discovered that during the summer, water runs down the cherry. I must go back to see this.

I admit, I was more than slightly bummed that I didn’t make it to Mall of America or have time for a massage, but seeing the Giant Cherry Spoon made up for it.

Welcome to Earth

Today was one of those really great news days. Here’s just a few of the better ones happening outside the world of interactive media:

Cool / Artsy / Geeky:
Ian Cook, a British Artist, paints using remote control cars. Video and final piece here.

Scientist creates a Periodic Table of Videos. For each element there’s a fun video. Very cool for visual and audio learners and super geeks. For anyone else, the videos are a tad long.

Sex, Sex, Sex:
Library of Congress creates Playboy for the blind. (Yes, I said Library of Congress). There’s also an official Porn for the Blind website.Candom Candoms (no, this is not a misspelling) is a great beverage insulator that rolls onto a can like a giant condom. Maybe these will start replacing bananas and regular condoms in Sex Ed.

German inventor debuts Spray-On Condoms. I’m not a guy, but the thought of putting my junk in a “hissing chamber” does not sound very fun or sexy. I’ll stick to the old rip and roll method, thanks.

Just Plain Bizarre / Gross:
I guilty admit that the tongue action turned me on. But, this ad for Extended Stay Hotels  is just weird and definitely did not make me want to stay there.
