Is it too late to post New Year’s resolutions? Yes? Well, fine, I don’t make resolutions anyway, but I do set goals, so I’ll just post those instead.
Happy, happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends and readers! Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Got a tree or garland to decorate but short on cash? Or maybe you’re just looking for something a little different? Consider filling a tree with these origami sparrows! Pattern and more, after the jump.

A long time ago, I worked 2 brief months at Value Village (Savers for you American and Australian folk). This was time long enough to a) save up enough money for a digital camera (and subsequently get ripped off at Don’s Photo, but I digress) and; b) quit. I was thinking about it the other night and thought for some reason others might be interested in some strange facts about the company and the experiences I had there.
In further proof that Muppets are pretty much forever cool, here is a most awesome video of them singing Bohemian Rhapsody (found this via Geekologie). I already tweeted this, but it bears repeating because Queen plus Muppets cannot be denied.
Have a nice(r) day!
I’ve been wanting to make and sell my own illustration-based products for some time but it seems that all the online companies and people that do it offer either poor quality products or take too much of a cut for it to be profitable to me. And I know that screen printing can be done with fairly minimal supplies, but I’m not really interested in the mess and sourcing of materials.
So my absence from the blog had been mostly just forgetfulness-related, however recently it shifted from that to medically-related.
Most of my friends and family know the gist of the story, but for the sake of documentation, I’ll try and get some of the main points down here. Hey, it might be of interest to other people googling the same thing. I know I would’ve appreciated reading some other people’s accounts of the situation.
Just blogging here to advertise my participation in the Week of Hope with Hope Is In the Cards. From September 1st to the 7th, my partner- Cardstore- will allow anyone to personalize and send out a free card from the HOPE collection (including my design above) to anyone else worldwide. This includes postage! It’s a great way to show some love and encouragement to a friend or partner, so my “hope” is that you’ll all participate!
Feel free to personalize the card’s inside and back with your own photos and sentiments. Then just go through the motions and enter the promo code SENDHOPE at the final checkout point. Easy as pie!
Tell someone that they’re Number One! >
After some consideration, I decided to change my username on iStockphoto to samposnick instead of the previous sposnick. Given that when I initially signed up for iStockphoto, it was as a buyer, so I really didn’t give my member name much consideration at the time. I thought that using samposnick would be more in line with my business and domain name, etc.
So, in case you are linking or bookmarking my portfolio directly, please change your links to:
www.istockphoto.com/samposnick
Carry on then and see you on iStockphoto. Lord knows I update my portfolio there more often than I update this blog.
Well, here it is, we’ve finally managed to finish the deck extension and get some photos up here. Now I no longer have an excuse for not posting, other than laziness or the fact that my life is beyond dull.
