stainless steel no-spill pet bowls

want a chance to see one of my designs? better yet - a chance to own it? here are some stainless steel pet bowls i designed for frontgate. i researched pet bowls for a long time - pulling reviews for everything from plastic bowls that cost 2 dollars at petsmart to high end designer bowls. in the end, this bowl was meant to be elegant but simple, and super, super sturdy.





i'm ordering my pup one - my corgi is terrible about sloshing water out of his bowl (understandable when you have a massive overbite) and i think it will be great for him! i'll put pictures up of him with it someday!

the oatmeal

i have always enjoyed matthew inman's (the oatmeal's) comics. they are witty and always make me laugh. whenever i need to smile at something (and by smile, i mean die laughing) i look for a new comic on the site. this one i find incredibly applicable because who hasn't been in this situation? the series this one is in (what we should have learned senior year of high school) has a lot of things we probably all think. i think that he is a pretty smart guy and good designer making a living off these - i know there are a few posters i'd love to get once i get in a home i think will be more permanent.

my first time in missouri

this labor day weekend, i forewent my usual webn fireworks on the cincinnati river to visit my sister in law, who currently lives outside of st. louis, missouri.




the trip, which was mainly to a small city called washington, allowed me to drive a huge chunk of us50, which i really want to drive all parts of (not necessarily in one trip) as i grew up living off of route 50 (and now live even closer - only a block away) and my it ends right next to my sister's home in sacramento. plus, i love driving. really, there isn't much sense to it other than to really try and see the usa
