Interface FLOR Tiles

I needed a rug for my dining room that was contemporary in style, durable and easy-to-clean enough to be used under our main eating area (including baby!), and affordable. What I found was that if it looked cool, I probably couldn't afford it, and if it was that good, I'd be heartbroken when it inevitably ends up smeared with strained carrots.

Jeff and I just returned from a week at the Burning Man phenomenon in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. Once again, it was a magical experience that touched our hearts and inspired our creative spirit. I've assembled some snapshots of our time there.

There's a first time for everything, including Bingo. My dad's sisters—Suzy, Cissi, and Franny—are devoted Bingo players. Every Thursday, they go to the Millvale Fire Station along with hundreds of fellow bingo-ers to try their luck. As I was swinging through Pittsburgh on my way back from visiting my parents, I had the opportunity to join in on this family ritual.

Yes, me, your favorite urban hipster playing Bingo. And you know what? I had a ball.

Here are a few of the things I learned:

Jeff and I spent a week in Italy with a bunch of our friends from San Francisco. I had been wanting to go to Tuscany for a long time, and I was not disappointed.

Boys are sexxy cover

While going through boxes of my old belongings at my parents' house last week, I discovered relics from my early publishing career. I used to love making books when I was little. It's no wonder I became a book designer later in life. Here are a few samples from when I was just 5 and 6 years old.

I've just returned from my yearly trip to Austin, TX for the South by Southwest Interactive Conference and Music Festival. As always, I had a wonderful time. This year's trip was divided into two distinct portions. First, I got to see my web friends (although not as many as in years past) and do the things we usually do at the Interactive conference.
