I Style!: Retro Style for Gadgets
If this mobile phone were a woman, she’d be rocking the retro look. I spotted this cassette-style mobile phone cover on someone’s table at my last office. Gadgetry has become a vital part of our style quotient as well so for the first time, here’s featuring a gizmo on I…
Ideart: Music Is The Colour Of Mirth
So I created this, from an old pickle jar, for a friend who wanted a picture of mirth (yellow and orange are those, aren’t they?). The sheet music and the rest of the symbols have special significance for him. Note – This is only one bottle. Each image is a…

The Devil, The Lovers & Me – Kimberlee Auerbach
The Devil, the Lovers, and Me: My Life in Tarot by Kimberlee AuerbachMy rating: 3 of 5 stars A nice story, Chick Lit with a twist, since the heroine’s story is told in associations that emerge in a tarot reading. It feels more like light fiction than the autobiography that…
