Scene: My living room, last night. Me and my husband on the couch, he’s watching tv and I’m working on my laptop. “ARGH!” I yelled at my computer. “What stinking piece of code do I need to change to get this to work?!” My husband looked at me like I was crazy, “honey, why don’t you just put it away for the night and relax. It will...
Each friday I try to show off a piece of art, music or photography from an artist that I have found. If you have someone that you love, or a piece that makes you feel creative, let me know – I’m always looking for great new creative minds! Today’s creativity is brought to you by the word “Twitter”. All of the following photographs, images and designs are from...
Is trying to figure out what to do stopping you from actually doing it? Do you spend more time planning your to-do list than crossing things off it? Are you allowed to just go for it and see where it takes you or do all projects require a map? Do you force your creativity conform to a set rules or do you let it run free? My goal is to...
Despite your political affiliation, we are all for our soldiers coming home alive. Creativity is at the heart of this goal. We have to be creative about our attack methods, creative about our strategic planning, and most importantly, the most creative and technologically advanced in our weapons and tools.

Nothing so big that it ruins the document or the speech, but something that gets pointed out to you after? Now imagine making a mistake in a movie that millions of people will see. The director and producers of...
We all know how frustrating it can be when you have to clean out your rain pipe. But what if your rain pipe looked like this?This pipe was found in Germany, and is one of the most visually impressive I have seen. The great news is the ones being created in Seattle are not only visually impressive, but are part of a green project by Buster...
Creativity can stem from the strangest places. I can’t even count the number of times I have seen a building, overheard a conversation (if they are talking so loudly that they can be heard clearly 10 feet away, it’s not eavesdropping!) or in this case, read a tweet and gotten motivation. For those of you who haven’t joined the Twitter phenomenon, you are missing out on...
I realized that I have been really bad about keeping up my Friday photography and art, as Friday’s tend to be a bit crazy and don’t really allow my mind (or my fingers) time to search for something worthy of showing off. But, I do love interesting photography and art so I have decided not to restrict it to Friday. Today, the art comes from...
The last few months have been tough for us all (and I don’t even want to think about tomorrow…) but so far, I am surviving. It may be just barely, and it may not be the most fun, but it is still surviving. Although it isn’t exactly the first of the month, it is the first Monday and therefor the first day of this month that...
