Mexican Design

For a while, I’ve been wanting to start posting about design here in Mexico. On the whole, the design here is completely terrible. There are a few good designs – logos, signage – but those are usually for large organizations. You can pretty much count on anything designed for a small company, will be bad. [...]

Adult Purchase

You may have seen the overgrown yard in my earlier post. One benefit of living in an apartment, or in a suite within a house, for the last 15 years, or more, is that I haven’t had to deal with overgrown yards. This resulted in the need to purchase something to handle the rapidly – [...]

I wouldn’t be lying…

…if I said that these Nun Dolls creep me out. A lot.

How am I feeling?

Ades – Soy Juice

I’m often surprised by the number of soya products that they have in Mexico – especially considering how carme–centric everythings seems to be.

I Love Alaska

Today, my friend Val posted about interesting search terms that brought them to her blog, including “art therapy rain cloud.”
Unfortunately, there aren’t really any good search terms bringing people to my blog – the most exciting are probably “shipping container mall puebla mexico” and “porta garrafon.” Though, if I include the last two years, and [...]
