Sure you could use the big-screen at the baseball park or maybe even do an advertisement on a freeway billboard, but that is just too mundane for today’s society. If you’re going to propose, you need do it right, and by right, I mean in a fashion worthy of a LEGO fan. Walt Thompson did [...]

Pop the Dots Calendar

Hazel Chua — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:36:04 +0000

It’s pretty normal to wake on some mornings all gloomy and moody. I usually wake up with a cloud over my head on Monday mornings, so I count on the little things like having an extra cup of coffee or something good for breakfast to perk myself right up. But something that can definitely add [...]

Hello Goodbye Doormat

Hazel Chua — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:18:48 +0000

Let your mat do the talking with the Hello Goodbye Doormat. Hellogoodbye is actually also the name of this power pop band that I really like, so this doormat gets full five stars right off the bat. When someone hears the word doormat, they could be thinking of an actual doormat or a person who [...]

Have you ever written something down and just wished that you could delete it because it sounded weird, stupid, or just plain wrong? You won’t be able to do it quite as easily if you used a pen to do so, but if you used a pencil, then you can delete it with the Deletus [...]

Hazel Chua — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:14:46 +0000

Get your creative juices flowing with the Morphology Board Game.

His/Her Goblets

Hazel Chua — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:13:56 +0000

There’s a man and woman in every couple, and we’re not talking about genders here. Sometimes, it’s the women who wears the pants in the relationship and sometimes it’s the man. The same goes for same-sex couples. Every couple is different of course, so some partnerships may more or less even out. But for those [...]

Steampunk Wrist Monocular

Hazel Chua — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 06:23:40 +0000

There’s just something about steampunk that just totally grabs my eye. Maybe it’s the cool, offbeat designs, or the out-of-this-world way they portray seemingly ordinary objects. I mean, just take a look at this Steampunk Robot and the Gears of Time Wall Clock. And there’s also the stuff that’s been modded to give it an [...]
