The niftiest little web tool I have ever seen for nitpicky designers like me:

Chicago is frozen

We had some rain last night, then some freezing temps...which resulted in a major spill on sheet ice, right onto my tailbone. THAT felt great. We've entered a deep freeze that's going to keep us hibernating for awhile up here.

As long as we're all staying home until it thaws, here's a great blog on modes of thinking for non-creative types and how to learn to draw.

Pretty interesting, especially with so much time on our hands.

Delicious indeed!

Check out these lamps from Swank Lighting. Absolutely stunning...and now my new desktop pattern.
