• Gold Star for the Internet: Everlane

    Now that you guys know all about my aversion to shopping in a store, I’ll tell you about my new favorite (online) retailer: Everlane. Everlane’s claim to fame — which all started with one t-shirt, by the way — is that there’s no middleman between it and the customer. The price you pay for something in…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Mozart in the Jungle

    I just bingewatched four episodes of Mozart in the Jungle and have many thoughts — Zoë Lance (@zoellance) January 2, 2015 The production values are incredible — Zoë Lance (@zoellance) January 2, 2015 The story is superb, and I can't wait to watch more tomorrow and blog about it next week.

  • Gold Star for the Internet: The Hemingwrite

    I. want. this. so. badly. I don’t remember where I first came across the Hemingwrite (maybe a Verge article many eons ago), but an email popped up in my inbox this morning about a pre-sale (I love future Zoë when her brain is turned on.)

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Serial Podcast

I’ve tried to find  programs and become a regular listener, but they don’t keep my attention for long periods of time like a physical book does (I’d love to discuss that, but that’s another post for another day!) When I listen to music, I’m usually writing, reading or working…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Skillshare

    Back in the summer (when I had more time to pursue my hobbies), I found this great website that is chock full of creative tutorials. At my art journaling class, I was telling my coworker about how I learned calligraphy and mentioned the class. Up until then, I had completely forgotten about it. And the more…

  • Gold Star for the Internet: Fly Art

    Every once in awhile, someone on the Internet gets a really genius idea and deserves a giant gold star. Today, I’m giving it to Fly Art. There are a couple of similar projects, but the jist is that the people behind Fly Art take rap lyrics and layer them over pieces of classical art. It started off…
