This is the second Lula Magazine I have picked up. It is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. I love that there is pages and pages of editorial. There aren’t many ads and the interviews are pages long.

geekiviews: Nailene Nail Accessories

Published by

My good friends at Brill Communications decided to send me some samples of Nailene. I couldn’t bring myself to use them and this is the first geekiviews post I’m making without trying the product. I have to admit, I’ve always been a little frightened of artificial nails. I put it out there on twitter that I was afraid of artificial nails and had a couple people reply back with horror stories.

Buy Design 2009 – Post Party Pictures

Published by

Here I am getting interviewed for what I think is the Space TV show, The Circuit. It will air at 7:30PM on Friday, April 24, 2009. I’m still fiddling with a loner camera and it wasn’t cooperating on Saturday. I’ve relied on photos from friends. Enjoy.

I thought about linking to the new Belvedere product but the website offends my sensibilities so you’ll have to google it for yourself.
