It’s been a while, here’s a quick list of some good stuff from the past weeks. Things are super busy right now with Finestimaginary things, so unfortunately haven’t been able to compile weekly lists. Hopefully that’ll ease off soon and I can start posting more good stuff.

Smashing mag lists web design trends for 2010.

Ahoy! I wasn’t around last week, or I was asleep, whatevs. Have some nice things from across the grand expanse of the internets…

Cute Poppytalk weekend project, door shelf! Unfortunately I think all the doors in my house are at corners of the room, so this probably wouldn’t work… pretty, though.

Custom painted nikes from Happy Cash, loving these Mario ones… there’re also some neat hello kitty ones. Unfortunately all seem to be sold out..!

Beastie planter, via Design*Sponge

Kitty tea-set on Etsy, loving the colour and illustration.

Tiny terrarium ring, via Rare Bird Finds

Google Map envelopes, via Incredible Things. I want to start sending mail!

Paper-cut eyelashes via Craftzine

Another cute studio on Unplggd, makes me wish I had the energy to sort my small space out. Bah!

Pixels. This video was doing the rounds the other week, it’s super neat and geeky. Had a hard time tracking it down again, seems to have been removed from a few places because of copyright stuff. Here it is, though.

And finally a nice, friendly introduction to PHP from Smashing Mag. Soon, me and PHP will be firm friends!

Nothing like a bank holiday for getting stuff done, I’ve been busy all day but I thought I’d put together a good stuff post before I forgot. Featuring a couple of Easter themed links from across the internet. Enjoy!

Eggcelent! Check out this stylish chicken coop…

Cute office on Unplgged, I wish my office looked this tidy… Who can keep a desk that clear?!

Peep sushi, so cute! We can’t get peeps in the UK, but why not make your own peeps?

IE Voodoo doll, I definitely could have done with one of these this week…

Neat tumblr, Barack Obama looking at awesome stuff.

Neat photo from http://www.kyongnguyen.com/, nice hey?

An interesting article about Women in Web Design and Development.
Parody of french fashion blogs at P et P, amazing lulz here!
Tiberius aftershave, uum.. I bet this smells like MAN.
Where the wild things are pajamas, I want these so badly. I think I’ve mentioned something similar before, I’m tempted to make some!

Lots of things this fine Friday. I was going to tell you about my cat’s new litter tray, it’s fucking amazing, but I think it deserves a post all on it’s own… So yeah, what a random aside. I’m sure you don’t really want to hear my inner dialogue, right? Or maybe you do… hum. ON WITH THE GOOD STUFF! YEAH! … YEAH!

• Disgustingly amazing antique-book-mac-book-book?-cover

• Geek clock, via unplggd
• Dinosaur cake sprinkles, zomg, they also do  dino print bun cases in the same store!

• Advertising on buses, sweet.
• Hitler’s favourite painter, via boingboing. I really like the one of Pan.

• Before and after WIN, via failblog.
• Logo design from start to finish.

• You dropped it on the floor, do you eat it? Shamefully under representing the xxSeconds rule. You know, if you’ve been drinking, you can increase the seconds rule by several alcohol related integers. Fact.

• Lovely illustrations from Juan Molinet (you can find his behance here). Via thunderchunky (one of my favourite blogs).
• Design*sponge article about ‘living in Fantastic Mr.Fox’ which is all pretty and lovely and nice. Check it out.

That’s all for this week! I would like to say that yesterday I signed up to do the race for life in July. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a 5km local run that happens country-wide in the UK. It’s run solely by women and is to raise money for cancer research UK. Anyway, you should all totally go and sponsor my ass over here. Funnily enough, we went to the gym last night for the first time in an ever… and I pretty much killed myself running 1km. Yeah. O.O
