33 Bottles of Beer Journal

33-bottles$12 at Scout Books

Finally, an update from me! The lovely Melanie at Pint Sized Musings [check out her new beer-focused blog!] turned me onto this product, and I just HAD to share!

A journal to document your beer tasting notes, it comes in a 3-pack, so you can document your 99 bottles/pints [however you'd like to do your tastings] of beer. There’s a flavor wheel to pick out what you’re tasting in each sip/gulp too! It’s genius, really! Oh yes, shipping is free, so order a pack or two or three.
Father’s Day is coming up. It might make a unique gift, don’t ya think?

Update: Saw this in action at the first Pint Sized Musings meet-up last night!

smile-card$3 at Joosy Card Co. [Etsy]

This site has been lacking in updates.

I’ve been quite busy the last 1.5 months. I survived a handful of interviews and finally landed a job that began last week! To thank all those who had helped me along the way, I went on Etsy to look for “Thank You” cards. That’s how I actually came across Joosy Card Co.

Even though I don’t have a photo of the actual cards I ordered because the photos were taken down as soon as I placed the order, the site is still worth a visit to see what other cards Jeynifer has in stock!

Gorilla Pod

gorillapod$22-$50 at Joby

I first encountered the Gorilla Pod at a Maker Faire several years back and purchased two or three on the spot. Joby makes them in various sizes ranging from the small compact camera to the larger digital SLR, so there is one that will fit your camera type.

As awesome and cool as this is, I’ve found that I tend to forget to carry it around with me. All the times I’ve wanted to take photos from a strange angle or up a tree, I’ve left my Gorilla Pod at home. Oops!

I am sure there are people less forgetful than me!
