My friends (my friends who live just one street over) left their house one morning this week to run some errands. After just two and a half hours, they (and their two sweet little ones) returned home to find that someone had (quite literally) broken and entered into...

Music Mondays: because life’s better with a soundtrack. It’s hard for someone like me to answer the asinine inquiry: who’s your favorite band? It’s not something I can easily narrow down. It’s not like asking which cut of the pig I like...

I am so sick of these doomsday headlines about the end of paper. I came across this from Inc. yesterday. The Era of Business Cards Is Dead For crying out loud. Really? Has “the paper business card” really “lost its significance – and...

Several of the people I follow on facebook (dear friends included) keep shooting themselves in the foot and I want them to stop hurting themselves. They’ll post some incredible, life-changing content on their blogs and then post something like this on facebook:...

When it comes to men’s fashion, I’m a big fan of using a small pop of color to contrast a relatively muted palette. We’ve seen grooms do it with socks and men have long used pocket squares. Here’s a few more colorful accessories...

Music Mondays: because life’s better with a soundtrack. You may have noticed that I have a thing for collaborative projects. This particular project adds the dynamic of juxtaposing the old and new: bringing together the folks at Beck’s beer and some fine...

…if I saw this in the woods. Apparently some park employees thought this would be a fun gag. Clowns in general don’t scare me, but this Blair Witch/It mashup would terrify me. Yikes!

I didn’t think Pinterest was of much use to any wedding creative – stationers included – or engaged couple until we were able to collectively (group) pin and pin to secret boards. Now? It’s game on. Here’s the thing: most people are doing...

What did you do last week? I had a kid. Well, actually, my wife had our kid. Our son was born last Wednesday – a big boy at 9lb 8oz, 21.5 in. One of the best things about this time around was getting to watch how our daughter handled the process. She had a...

My good friend Matthew of Penny and Finn has a lovely side project with his dad called pine-stock. They’re the subject of a giveaway hosted by A Beautiful Mess – you know – the folks that make that iOS photo app all the hipsters are using and the...

By the time you read this, it’s likely that my son will have made his debut in the world. Follow me on twitter for updates.

The work of James McNabb is apparently a gift that keeps on giving. I think I’ll be highlighting a couple of his projects here, as the inspiration well is deep. But this? This is incredible. Now I’ve gotta find a way to make my scraps looks this...

Music Mondays: because life’s better with a soundtrack. Last week, the jazz world lost a true giant. Pianist Mulgrew Miller passed well shy of 60 years old. He was a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and a sideman from some of jazz’s greats...

I’m not sure I’d think this app was so great if anyone else made it. Sometimes context is everything. I just love how OK Go constantly reinvents themselves and challenges our perception of what a band is and can do. Download the app for iOS or Android. You...

I’ve been watching Discovery Channel’s Gold Rush and realized something: Much like sailing, mining has given the American English lexicon quite a few idiomatic expressions. Hitting “paydirt” and waiting to see what “pans out?”...

I don’t know what I was more excited about after reading this Colossal story: the fact that Art Basel happened in Hong Kong this year or this sphere-ified VW Beetle from artist Ichwan Noor. What I really love about this piece is the way many of the lines retain...

I’ve always thought I’d be far more impressive if I had an editor. From fixing simple mistakes in spelling and grammar to fully re-working my incoherent thoughts, an editor could take of some of my roughness and provide a little bit of polish. Screw that....

Music Mondays: because life’s better with a soundtrack. I never really got into Radiohead when my friends were digging them. I found them a little later and fell in love with OK Computer in college. As I’m also a huge fan of (man, I hate this term) world...

It’s hard to believe today’s the day. It’s been ten years since I promised my life to my high school sweetheart. Yeah, we were just kids. And here we are on the brink of transition from a family of three to a team of four! Our little boy is due to...
