Music Mondays @ UO

I’ve been listening to the same music over and over again for the last couple of weeks. As much as I enjoy my current rotation (Amelie soundtrack, Wizard of Oz soundtrack, Louis Prima, and Django Reinhardt), it's getting a little old, so I'm open to change.

Did you know about UO's Music Mondays? Well, every Monday, UO has five fresh songs available for listening or download. I didn’t think I would enjoy these tunes very much, but I really liked them, especially the first two, which are reminiscent of Arcade Fire. You can sample them now by hitting the play button below. Hooray for good (and free) music!


On a different note, I want to give you a heads up about my schedule: due to my involvement in some fun projects, my posts will be fairly sporadic for the next few weeks. Regular posting will commence soon enough, though.

FYI: I will host yet another very random and short-lived Just Because Giveaway some time next week. No Lula this time, but I promise that it'll be prize-worthy.

Rollip Polaroids

If you like Poladroid, you'll LOVE Rollip. Rollip is a web application that can make any of your photos look like it was taken with an actual Polaroid camera. Rollip offers several options with no file size restrictions. There are no application downloads, it works fast and is fun to use! Check these out:

Blog Bumper Stickers

I just spent the last several minutes amusing myself with these blog bumper stickers, debating whether I should add either Tom touched me inappropriately or This blogger is a champion bikini mud-wrestler to my side bar.

Hmm... I think I'll stick with this one.

Tack-O-Rama ~ Retro Images and Fonts

Tack-O-Rama

I spent the last couple of hours downloading every conceivable 50's-inspired image, icon, background and font from Tack-O-Rama's vast online collection of "vintage tomfoolery." Behind Tack-O-Rama is Magic Jelly's sister, Josella Colquhoun, who scours the Internet for retro fonts and images and turns them into awesome royalty-free clipart. Many of them are images inspired by advertisements from the 1940's and 50's. If you're one for clip art, fonts, or anything vintage, I promise you'll get a good kick out of Tack-O-Rama. I swear, I got a high downloading everything -- the same feeling I imagine I'd get if I were granted a shopping spree at a shoe store.

What I made with Tack-O-Rama

I made this awesome collage using some of the clip art. These images are just the tip of the iceberg, though -- there's a ton more at Tack-O-Rama!
