bought some bankers boxes for $7 from staples today. you know they’re cardboard boxes with the lid. they come all flat and stuff, and i got the most satisfying feeling folding the thing this way and that, and voila–i had an incredibly sturdy banker’s box (w/lid).

you know. simple pleasures.

for some reason i’ve been very thirsty for interesting information lately. i think it started when i had to sit down and write up a gift wish list for the mom. and there wasn’t really like anything i needed or wanted much, so i had to like scour the web for cool stuff. and now i can’t stop.

if you’re interested in reading about cool techno social stuff, do check out boingboing. it’s updated all weblog style and is consistently interesting to me.
