I gotta be honest, apparently I’ve been living under a gigantic rock and hadn’t heard of the awesome NOTCOT until today when they posted a really cool write-up titled Art Of The Gift Card showcasing some of the new holiday Gift Cards at Target. They even went above and beyond and devoted a special something to our ‘Winter Fishing Hole’ Gift Card/Game. We’ve actually been getting reports that they are selling out at stores (that’s a good thing, right?) but you can find them online through 12/31.
Oh, and yes I’m multi-tasking by kicking myself while adding the NOTCOT RSS feed to my daily visits.

Holy smokes! I can’t decide on whether I’d like to be Morpheus or John Lasseter at this moment. So good.
Thanks Rob.

Growing up, Ryan and I were Lego FANATICS. I vividly remember the massive room-sized bag of Legos that my mom found at a garage sale for $8 – and the day she brought it home. Our jaws dropped. We dabbled in Transformers, G.I. Joe and He-Man, but the Legos got the most love – for years and years. Naturally, my own kids love them (what kid doesn’t?!) and those days in the 80’s of creating airplanes and robots out of blocks are ever-present in our house 20+ some years later. I still think it might be the best toy to actually spawn creativity and imagination. All that to say – I just love Jason Freeny’s anatomy of the lego man. Brilliant.
And yes, we are going to Legoland next summer. Anyone been?

Anna-Maria Sviatko from Canberra, Australia may have created a dollhouse or two that my daughter and I would actually have to arm wrestle over. And yes, dollhouses are METAL!

I am loving Nerdbots (and their site) – and may just have to pick one up.
“Oddly obsessed with all things robot, married couple Nicholas and Angela from Kansas City, Missouri, decided on a whim one day to do nothing other than to build one themselves.”
I’m starting to feel partial to Drip, but Beamer looks like he may need a hug …

While we were on tour last month, we had a chance to walk around Fullerton in So Cal and hit some of the cool vintage and music shops. We stumbled upon Otto, which was by far my favorite. Full of mid-century goodness of all kinds, it was hard for me to walk out of there without emptying the bank. I did however manage to score some Gama-Go goods and a miniature LCW to match my life-size version. Score.
