Hand painted by my grandma. Built by my grandpa.
Too much contrast—whoops.
While I continue unpacking my things from my frenzied move-out from college apartment life, I leave you with a bit of a poser:
Madison’s Inquiry
If you have to travel on the Titanic, why not go first class?
A bit over a month ago, I was watching an episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien, when I noticed the tie he was wearing looked awfully familiar.

“Hey, that looks like the tie I have from Express,” I said to Mykala. She seemed to agree. The thought of being able to wear part of Conan’s wardrobe was just plain cool. A good ice breaker, even (but probably not for interviews). Imagine: “Welcome to your job interview, tell us about yourself.” “Well, I have the same tie as Conan O’Brien, that is cool.” So, soon I was able to compare Conan’s tie to my own. They don’t match.

Well, I tried. Perhaps someday Conan and myself will share the same neck wear. Until then, onward!
You know, like the Coldplay song “Yellow.”
Working on a group shot and more curves adjustments.
iPod Protection - I have to ask: why get a full case (of which I have 2) for your iPod when you can just get a clear plastic sticky cover? I really like this idea because you can continue to hold in your hand and experience the efforts that were made to make the iPod so nice to hold, yet also protect your investment from scratches. Now I’m sounding like a commercial.
Anyhow, this is essentially the same (but on a smaller scale) as 3M’s Scotchgard automotive paint protection, also known as a clear bra.
Effects of elevated hydrogen peroxide ‘strip’ bleaching on surface and subsurface enamel including subsurface histomorphology, micro-chemical composition and fluorescence changes - Neat primary literature from the Journal of Dentistry, studying the effects of strip bleaching (whitening) on tooth health. Good news for those who whiten: no changes were seen in surface histomorphology, tooth hardness, or chemical composition. It seems that this paper comes after research in the same area, which found the same thing. Tooth whitening does seem pretty safe.
