denyingphoenix: Brian Faust - Five Things I Love for Friday #89

The photography of Joey Lawrence - This kid is so wicked talented it’s not even funny. He’s a whopping 17, trotting the globe as a professional photographer and he doesn’t have a lick of professional training. His work is beautiful and my level of envy couldn’t be higher.
Pumpkin Ginger Muffins - Yea, I know, the pumpkin thing is getting old. But these muffins rock. We had house guests this week and I threw them together before leaving for work. Moist yet not greasy, subtle yet pleasing autumnal flavor. The candied ginger is a brilliant touch. I also ground up some sugar (el cheapo baker’s sugar substitute) to dust the tops.
“I’m So Hood” by DJ Khaled - Okay, so this is awkward. It might be less embarrassing to admit that I like some N’Sync songs. But for some damned reason, I find this song really catchy. Not good, I didn’t say good. The song itself is still crap. I say that so that I can maintain a certifiable level of indie elitism. So it’s catchy, not good. Got it?
This week’s Layer Tennis match - Years ago I was addicted to Photoshop Tennis, and then it went away. This Friday’s match (reincarnated as LayerTennis) is between two esteemed Midwesterners, Chris Glass (Cincinnati) and Naz Hamid (Chicago). Both gentlemen are legends in their own right, and both two people who’s careers/blogs I’ve followed for years. Good luck to them both. I’ll be eagerly watching each volley on my phone the whole time.
TadaList - I’m a habitual list maker who unfortunately never remembers to take his lists with him. Thus, I end up making the same lists at work and at home. I’ve tried digital implementations in the past (including Google Notebook, Google Docs, simple txt file on an FTP server, etc) but all weren’t natural enough. Now that I’ve got an iPhone, TadaLists are awesome. Perfect solution from the guys at 37 Signals.
