I think I'm in love...
My latest obsession is designer Orla Kiely. Her bags are so darn cute. I don't own one (yet) but they look like they're pretty high quality.

Congratulations, Isaac!!!
Isaac recently participated in a competition through the History Channel, City of the Future. The object was to design a plan for Washington, DC, circa 2108. He led a team of faculty and students from the University of Maryland. Although the team did not win the top prize, they did receive the IBM Innovation Award, recognizing their innovative use of technology. The model they built was nothing short of incredibly. It was 3 feet wide by 7 feet high, double-sided, it turned, it pivoted, and it opened up. Very cool.
The competition has gotten a lot of press, and Isaac has gotten a lot of well-deserved credit for his role. You can see him here in this Washington Post article - there's even a picture of him and two students working on their model:

Check out these bags and children's clothing!
They're all handmade by a cooperative of Guatemalan women who came together as the result of a raid at their workplace in New Bedford, Massachusetts. My very good friend is an immigration attorney and assisted in the efforts to help those who were taken in by the raid, and I've set up this website to help showcase their beautiful products.

One of My Favorite Things
I love when I'm walking down the street, and out of nowhere, I see a cop on a horse. It always seems like such a funny juxstaposition - a horse on a city street - but really, where else would it be effective to have a cop on a horse?
