Good things must come to an end

No heart feelings, Blogger. It was a good 3 years together. But like everything else, good things must come to an end.

For someone with zero coding knowledge, I find the hosting site comes with limited options to customize templates (and the new themes are horrendous as well). In essence, it limits my creativity and would be time-consuming to code my design, no?

Or perhaps it’s just me, not you. Hi Tumblr Lane! Oh, do update your RSS feed please!

In order to live a creative life

Ho boy. I must be living the most creative life in the whole wide world. (via Little Garden)

Office, coffee shop AND home. What more can you ask?

The Cool Hunter reports:

"Creative people have started to think up solutions to meet the very clear need of cool working spaces for mobile workers. Urban Station in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has taken the best of both office and coffee shop and wrapped it all up in a funky urban space.

You sit at one of the wide tables, pay by the hour and benefit from the calm atmosphere and comforts of an office with plugs and locks for your computer and super-fast wifi. The coffee shop part comes in the form of unlimited coffee, tea, mineral water, fruit, croissants and cookies, all part of the fee.

In addition, the large and airy Urban Station offers art and business magazines and books to read, comfortable armchairs for lounging and casual meetings, fully equipped meeting rooms, printers, fax and scanners, plus lockers for your gear. If you get bored, or need to dash out for a moment, they even offer a few bikes at the door for you to borrow. It feels like office, coffee shop AND home."

Must tell my Indyhall brothers (you know who you are) about this!

Looks to steal this week

First photo is taken via Lookbook, while second is a guest of Joanna's during her wedding party at a park. I'm gonna do the first look with a proper pair of jeans, I just despise tight leggings as pants. On the second photo, I'm so into long dresses now. (P/s: Just noticed this post is done on my stay-away-from-computer day so I'm turning this piece of technology off and enjoy my day!)

My kind of distraction

What caught my eye is not the soft tones of this photo via swoone, or how the lady is offering us some picked flowers from the street perhaps - but the extension of the lens she had on her Leica D-Lux 3/ Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3 (both cameras share about the same technical specs, only that the one from Leica costs double the Lumix's because of the 'red dot' branding). I've been wanting to get some accessories for my Lumix, but in filling up the gap (and in between saving up) I bought a couple of Lomo cameras. Just great, Zana.

Nitey nite, or should I say, good morning?

Out of this world

I just had to post this, not only because they are spacesuits but also because they are organized neatly. Yes, there's also a blog specially for us OCD folks. Shut up, and get organized.
