Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Wow. That’s a lot of work going into a book I’m never going to read. Awwww, I’m kidding. But to be fair, I’m not judging it by its cover. I’m judging it by the stack of books that I really want to read versus the stack of books I’ve never heard of. Though, I’ll probably [...]
Book Shelf Shelves
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Books really have it made. I mean, all they have to do is sit around at home and be interesting. And here we are, working our butts off to supply the funds to buy them more friends and more shelves to house all their friends. Not only that, but books have the influence to call [...]
Android Karenina
Monday, February 22nd, 2010I assume all of you have finished reading both Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by now. And hey, I’m glad you’ve branched out from your usual repertoire of Stephen King and Dr. Seuss, but if that’s all you’ve limited your reading to, you’ll have to keep on [...]
Green Marker = Library Grass
Sunday, February 14th, 2010Books ooze with literary life, so it’s fitting that they do so in a physical sense too. Why not let your books grow by keeping tabs and marking your marks with the Green Marker? Before long, you can have your very own lawn in your bookshelf. Who doesn’t want that? You already have a library [...]
Cooking With Coolio
Friday, February 5th, 2010I have a feeling that I’ve seen Coolio cook before, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s so… surreal. I must have dreamt if. If so, then this is a dream come true. And perfect timing since I’ve just recently got over my enormous attitude about cooking and have been working on domesticating myself in the [...]
Cthulhu In Love Perfume
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010I’m not really sure what kind of scent would attract the Cthulhu, but according to the scientists of horror of ThinkGeek, it’s something like “an amorphous mix of oppressive, piceous ritual incense, macerated kelp, sea salt, sticky dark ocean plants, and . . . mixed chocolates.” Wow, that’d probably go great with the H.P. Lovecraft [...]
BookBook
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Hey, if hard covers can protect books, why couldn’t they protect your laptop? I mean, as long as you don’t plan to drop it on the sidewalk or something. Keep your technology classy and classic with the BookBook, a hardback leather case for your MacBook and MacBook pro. Sorry, non-Macs. Apparently we don’t want to [...]
Book Well
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010This is what I always imagined falling down the rabbit hole would look like.
P.S. I can’t wait.

Thumb Thing… Thing
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Wow… Who would have ever thought that reading a paperback was so labor intensive? Apparently I’ve had it all wrong after all these years. Then again, if I’ve learned anything from those As-Seen-On-TV gimmicks, it’s that I’ve lead a very difficult life of listening to things without a hearing aid, wearing robes with the opening [...]
Scorpion Book Spines… Great.
Monday, December 28th, 2009Hey, I’m all about making art out of books but well, this wasn’t really an image that we needed to introduce to my imagination. You see, I happen to have a rather ridiculous fear of scorpions. It’s kind of silly considering I’ve never lived in an area where they’d be a threat or a neighbor. [...]
The Book Belt Is Back? Ok!
Monday, December 21st, 2009So apparently all the snooty, classy, metro-y and cooler than I’ll ever be people are going to bring back the book belt. I’m all for it. I mean, it’s pretty snooty, classy, metro-y and cooler than I’ll ever be, and that’s something I can get down with. Mostly because it’s classy. And by classy, I [...]
Can I Be A Stop Motion Short So I Can Marry This Stop Motion Short And Have Stop Motion Babies?
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Ok, so I just posted that kitty video as a remedy for a blown out brain and well, this just kicked me back a couple of steps. Don’t get me wrong, this is absolutely, unbelievably amazing. It’s beautiful. It’s stunning. It’s perfection. And it makes my brain hurt… But I like it.
I aspire to [...]
The Pop-Up Book Of Phobias
Monday, November 23rd, 2009When it comes to the gift-giving season, books are a pretty safe bet. However, there is nothing safe about The Pop-Up Book Of Phobias, not even as a gift to yourself. I mean, unless you really know yourself. I happen to know myself as well and I most definitely don’t need this popping out at [...]
Really, Twilight? This Is Where It’s Going? Really?
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Ok, I must be completely honest. I’ve never read, watched or given any attention to Twilight. I mean, I totally get it. Handsome vampire boy dates human girl, they fall in love, drama with other vampires, danger, high school, I get it. But when I’m feeling a little blood lust I turn to The Lost [...]
Bookrest
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Running out of bookmarks? Running out of space to stack your mid-read books? Do you just really want something protruding from your wall? You’re in luck with the Bookrest, a sort of hook for your book and reading glasses. Keep it simple with one over your nightstand or a whole gaggle of them around your [...]
Walls Notebook
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009I’m not sure what it is that makes it so hard for people to keep their writing utensils and art supplies to themselves, but whatever it is, people sure do love to scribble on walls. And you know what they say, if you can’t beat them, join them. But if you’re concerned about competing scribbles [...]
Reading Tray
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Say goodbye to crumbs in your spine with the Reading Tray by Korean/London based designer Yu-Hun Kim. Finally, a less complicated way to enjoy some morning reading with my morning snack and morning coffee. That is until I have to turn the page. Then what the hell do I do? My brain simply doesn’t go [...]
Library Necklace
Monday, September 21st, 2009Many writers like to write books in order to get things off their chest. Readers, on the other hand, like to put these books on their chest. For reasons unknown, really. But since books can get kind of heavy, the BlackSpotBooks Etsy shop is offering a smaller library for you to wear around your [...]
Where The Wild Things Are Hat
Sunday, September 6th, 2009We can all thank Jessy Ratfink for her awesome Where The Wild Things Are inspired hat, complete with whiskers. What more could you ask for? Nothing. I’m just happy I can put this old Snoopy mascot costume to good use. I lost the head years ago, but I’d knew there was a good reason for [...]
Jelly Bookmark!
Friday, September 4th, 2009Ok, it’s more rubbery than it is jelly, but that’s besides the point. This bookmark rules, especially if you’re an extremely forgetful person. This bookmark rules, especially if you’re an extremely forgetful person. Wait, I already said that. Sorry. I forgot. We’ll fix it in post. Moving on! Look at that little pointer thingy!
Now that’s [...]
