Reminds me of home.

Doing this!  Painted bobby pins to match my nails. 

I’m all about fashion subtleties.  As in, the kind of style nobody notices until an awkward moment passes when we’ve both run out interesting things to say…

DIY Colorful Bobby Pins

Wanna add some color to your summer tresses? Well this d.i.y. couldn’t be easier! I’m talking seconds peeps. (It’s actually taking me longer to write this amazeballs post for you.) 

Ingredients:
– bobby pins or hair clips of your choice (doesn’t matter if they’re old & crusted because they’re about to get a makeover!)
– nail polishes
– a piece of paper/cardstock/index card

Directions:
1. Space your bobby pins out on the piece of paper. (Pictured) 
2. With your favorite nail polish in hand, lightly brush the top of bobby pin with polish until fully coated. (I only used 1 coat of polish, but would assume additional coats would only make the pins that much sweeter!) ***For Color-Blocked pins, see below! 
3. Let dry.

**How to Create Color-Blocked Bobby Pins:
My pins had 5 “ridges” on the surface so I simply noted where the top of the 3rd ridge was & made sure that marker was where 1 polished ended & the other began.

I’ve also noted all the different colors of ZOYA nail polishes I used for this project (pictured). Hope you find some cool colors you love just as much I did 😀 

Good luck my friends!

P.s. sorry for the major TYPO in my 1st pic guys :/ COLORFUL Bobby Pins…COLORFUL ;] 

Oooh, must try sometime, I was just thinking about acquiring some colourful bobby pins 🙂

I just realized my book marks/quick links are horribly disorganized.

Ah well.

Let it go…

Time for bed.

Rambling Round: Something Good About the Bible

larrybrucenewman:

My friend, Carey, after reading A Few Words about the Deity and his Friends, asked me if I couldn’t find something good to say about the Bible. I admit I was reluctant to undertake such a difficult task. Murder, fornication, adultery, lying, backstabbing hypocrisy, brutality toward innocent…

I forget how I stumbled onto this blog but I enjoy it immensely. Perhaps it was the father of someone else I follow? There’s pictures of kangaroos too.

John Green is at a conference at the Perimeter Institute

right now

That is so close.

My preordered copy of TFIOS still has not been signed or bookplated.

He is at a conference on education and social media with such awesome people as Vihart and CPG Grey. Not to mention Minute Physics.

I want to learn more about social media and education strategies and hang out with awesome people. Uncomferences seem awesome in general as well.

I have class and homework though, so no just hanging out at PI for me.

I really wish I could go to brainSTEM though.

This is blowing my mind.

I think I’ll just carry TFIOS around with me for the next two days.

Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology Website

This (http://www.nano.uwaterloo.ca) is a website I worked on in my second co-op work term. I started by creating mock-ups of various options in Photoshop and then dived into coding.

I inverted the color scheme, redesigned the navigation system, improved readability and changed the overall layout. I also created new backgrounds and matching facebook cover photos  (http://www.facebook.com/uwnano).

I improved the organization and commenting of the style files, and heavily documented the entire design process.

Some of the underlying structure and widgets were from the previous site.

EDIT: The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology’s website has been redone in order to conform with the University of Waterloo overarching website design.

For this poster I built all of the shapes out of spherical ‘buckyball’ rare earth magnets. I photographed the structures and then manipulated the images individually in Photoshop before creating the overall poster design.
