A week without posts

Yes, there was a week without posts. I was without my computer. I'll get back to the word of the weeks next week. I promise.

Seven Deadly Glasses Will Tease, Tempt You With Sinful Wine [Sinful]

You gotta see these glasses. Definitely be sure to click through and see all of them. The only one I don't really understand is Lust. Do you have to lick it?

Seven Deadly Glasses Will Tease, Tempt You With Sinful Wine [Sinful]: "

In vino peccatus... perhaps the saying should go like this, given the kind of hangover a bottle of wine can result in. And designer Kacper Hamilton might well agree. His Seven Deadly Glasses wine glasses are meant to physically represent each sin. So there's the phallic Pride glass, contrasting with the curly Greed glass—that hangs on to a few sips in its tentacles—and Sloth, which needs someone else to drip-feed you the good stuff. Check out the gallery to see the full range of designs: they're pretty intriguing.

Each glass's sin is 'revealed through the ritual of drinking,' says Kacper, adding that the glasses are designed to encourage 'the user to be sinful in a theatrical fashion.' Presumably throwing up theatrically after imbibing too much is entirely up to you, with no help from art or design.

If you're in London between June 12th and 19th, you can see the glasses being exhibited at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design Degree Show. And if you like them, you can order one of the limited edition sets. They come in a mahogany, velvet and brass case, so expect the price to be pretty sinful too.

Not portable!

I walked in to the Broadway Roastery today, and what did I see but a man with a 17" iMac sitting at a table. You heard me right. An iMac! Check it out!



Sorry bout the picture quality, but all I had was my iSight.

Chemistry Party

This post is for all my nerdy friends in chemistry, chemical engineering, or whatever. I found this on YouTube, and knew it was the best thing I'd seen all afternoon!



Cheers!

Zemanta

.Image via WikipediaSo I read about this extension for Firefox called Zemanta. And I thought I'd give it a try. Essentially, what it does it takes an account of what I've written in each post, and suggests links, pictures, and articles that I may find of interest and share in my blog. So, really, I'm just testing this out riht now, but we'll have to see.

Ah, there you go, see. Zemanta suggested I use this image of Firefox, which, if you ask me, is kinda dumb. But, I didn't have anything else. It'd probably be better if I actually had something to write. Well, I guess I'll have to do that next time. Because this post has no other purpose at all.

Later, folks

Word of the Week — June 2-8

Word of the week, word of the week. How do you like the word of the week?

garrulous • \GAIR-uh-lus\ • adjective

1 : pointlessly or annoyingly talkative 2 : wordy

Example Sentence:

With a few judicious revisions, a good editor can often transform garrulous writing into elegant prose.

Did you know?

English has many adjectives that share the meaning "given to talk" or "talking." "Talkative" may imply a readiness to talk or a disposition to enjoy conversation, while "loquacious" suggests the power of expressing oneself articulately, fluently, or glibly. "Voluble" suggests a free, easy, and unending talkativeness, and "garrulous" implies talkativeness that is dull, rambling, or tedious. "Garrulous," by the way, derives from the Latin verb "garrire," which means (no surprise here) "to chatter" or "to babble."
