It's the Weekly What? for Friday, October 5th
It's October so that means candy isn't too far away...We don't know about you guys, but around here Halloween is second only to Christmas in terms of the level of anticipation. Candy, candy, candy. Never mind the stomach ache afterwards, that's how we judge the awesomeness of the candy haul. We're feeling a little hyper just thinking about it! So anyway...we've got another great edition of the newsletter this week, full of all kinds of weird time-wasters so read on! But before you do (and before you forget), please click over to our Facebook page and leave an answer to this week's question: "What's your favorite thing about Halloween?" 
Fluffy Nutella Buttercream FrostingWe don't think we shall ever see four words that go as well together as "Fluffy Nutella Buttercream Frosting." Well, maybe if one were to throw in "Cupcake" too. Go make some! >> Scary graphic design stuffSince it's October and officially the month of Halloween and all things spooky, scary, and unnerving we present to you this list of the TOP 15 PRINTING MISTAKES! Muahahahaha! Raster logos...small type reversed out of rich black...typos!! No, make it stop, make it stop!!! Read more... if you dare! >> Sometimes you don't want Microsoft Word to be quite so "helpful"We hate to hurt Word's feelings, but sometimes it just tries too hard to be helpful. Kind of like the super-affectionate puppy that keeps jumping on you and slobbering all over your good pants and sticking its nose in your crotch. You know what we mean: turning every URL into a hyperlink; the inability to select just a few letters in a word (instead Word selects the whole thing for you); and the embarrassment of auto-correct thinking you mean one thing when you quite clearly typed something else. Stuff like that. Although we'd recommend against turning off the "smart quotes" option since you'd be reverting to inch (") and foot (') marks instead of true apostrophes and quote marks. (No, we're not being typographic snobs. Well, maybe just a little.) Go read >> How are we doing? Got a hot news tip? Something to share? Click here to drop us a line! Make-it-yourself: "Stained glass" votive candle holderWe love crafty things that are super easy and award super bonus points for anything that makes use of Mod Podge. This project hits both targets! Plus it looks really neat when you're done. "Wait, what?" you might say when the instructions mentions things like "candle holder" and "paper" in the same paragraph, but it's really not that scary if you remember one key concept: The paper goes on the OUTSIDE! >> Too strange not to mention...This just out from Hi-Fun: the "Bluetooth Talking Glove"! No, no, the glove doesn't talk (although that would be "high fun"), you talk into the glove! Specifically your pinky finger. See, you pair the glove with your phone, put it on (the glove, not the phone), and then make a "phone" sign with your hand (thumb and pinky sticking out). You put your thumb up to your ear, and pinky near your mouth. Then you talk! (See, the speaker is in the glove's thumb, and the microphone is in the pinky.) So, instead of wearing one of those weird Borg-style earpieces, you wear a friendly-looking glove. You won't look like you're talking to invisible people, you'll look like you're talking on your invisible phone with your invisible friend! What about the summer time? >> S'mores brownies.You read that right. Don't smack yourself, you're not seeing things. This is probably the greatest invention since Fluffy Nutella Buttercream Frosting (or Chocolate Salted Caramel Mug Cakes). It's all the s'mores ingredients mashed up and baked into a brownie form-factor. And they're so easy to make, too! Our waistlines could be in dire trouble. Good brownies, I think I'll have...s'more!! Hah! >> The Friday Film: Awesome Cat is awesome.All he needs are some opposable thumbs and we'd be in trouble! >> The Weekly What? is more fun when you share! It's easy, just click the "Forward email" link below... keep going... a little farther down... there it is! Send this newsletter to a friend! Don't worry, we won't hit them up for money. |
