(via 유리 고양이 :: 네이버 블로그) Found on Facebook; this is just extremely adorable. I wish I’d had someone to sew dolls from my drawings when I was that age. Lots of ducks and stars, back then.
@ramit here’s what I would do
with that virtual assistant you are giving away for free for one year at iwillteachyoutoberich.com. I entered the contest and here is what I would do if I won:
- Help me create the huge to-do list for moving to wherever I will be moving in 2012
- Help me find freelance jobs (illustration, translation, web content, graphics, lifestyle & fashion & geek style articles) to make some quick money for moving and buying new stuff
- Help me set up my business idea of helping students with their university and stipend / grant applications
- Find the best gym, language learnint center, choir, theater group, web 2.0 meetups in the area I’ll be moving to
- Find doctors, addresses of public administration… in the city I will be moving to
- Research material for the articles I’ll be writing next year
- Help me compare investment options
- Help me boost my visibility as a freelancer through Google tools and general social network buzz / profile update
- Do the footnotes and bibliography of my Master’s thesis
- Research other relevant documentaries, TV ads and movies I haven’t found yet for my thesis
- Find the best CPE prep materials and / or courses so I can pass the CPE before moving
- Download public domain / free-to-use images for my graphics
- Create a motivational, intellectually stimulating, and inspirational portfolio with my favorite artists, quotations that come in handy in conversations, basic knowledge about contemporary business gurus, important CEOs and institutions related to internet and virtual worlds
- Constantly remind me of writing that SF/fantasy novel which will never be published and discuss it with me
- Keep me updated about new gadgets and handhelds which may be relevant for what I will be doing in 2012
I really like this gedankenexperiment, except that thinking about having to do all that stuff by myself if I don’t wind kind of terrifies me. Keeping my fingers crossed, haha.

Project Educate - Origins of Pinup and Glamour
by ^DistortedSmile
Pinup & Glamour Week - Origins of Pinup & Glamour
14th - 20th November 2011 is Pinup & Glamour Week in :devprojecteducate:
Here is a little about how the whole Art movement started…
A pin-up girl is a woman whose physical attractiveness would entice one to place a picture of her on a wall. Pin-up girls may be glamour models, fashion models, and actresses.
The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s. The “pin up” images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers…
Limited Edition
814 / 5,000 spots filled
The Sketchbook Project Limited Edition Vol. 1 is a collaborative series of art books created by 5,000 artists from around the world.
Anyone — from anywhere in the world — can participate in the project. Sign up to receive a blank sketchbook in the mail, then fill it up and send it back. Your work will be cataloged in the Brooklyn Art Library and published in the Limited Edition art book series.
For illustrators & Moleskiners - Yes, you have to pay to participate, that’s the downside of it. But at the same time, it is quite a motivation to finally be a little more prolific… and the themes are quite interesting:
Time and the way we travel
Distance and time
How to spell and other things to learn
The science of story
Thread and surface
The last word ever spoken
Why did the owl make everyone laugh?
Create and capture
The secret and how to tell it
Pictures and descriptions
(I chose “The secret and how to tell it”, looking forward to the arrival of my sketchbook — which will hopefully be after I have finished the Ph.D. application stuff).
Anyone else participating?
