• So that’s what the interwebz look like inside.

• Really? No such thing as work/life balance for successful startup entrepreneurs?
  p.s. The referenced article by Elon Musk’s ex-wife can be found here.

• Hey, you, with the closet full of cute clothes that you never wear. Stop that.

• Yes. Yes, yes, yes, I cannot wait to see this movie.

• The next Souvenir Photo School is about to start. I’m so bad at all things food-related, but this looks intriguing.
