I’m mainly posting this so I remember to show it to Mike, but in case anyone else needs it, here is how to Rip NPR to MP3 for an iPod.

Craft Corner DEATHMATCH!
My latest addition to the TiVo season pass lineup? Craft Corner DEATHMATCH! How perfect is that title? Sure, we all thought that “Wickedly Perfect” was a good title, but Craft Corner DEATHMATCH is so fabulous! Oh my. I can’t wait to actually see the show. Here is a brief description:
It’s Martha Stewart Living meets Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome when amateur crafters compete against each other, against the clock–and against the imposing Craft Lady of Steel. Armed with nothing more than hot-glue guns and a few basic materials, the contestants must swiftly assemble projects that are judged on beauty, creativity and utility.
How can you go wrong with any show that has Deathmatch in the title? I mean, really? Is it Wednesday yet? Because I can’t wait!
(In case you were wondering, we can blame me watching this show on Erin.)
Paris in Spring!
Back in February, I attended the Stampin’ Up! regional convention in San Antonio. I made cards for the card swap, and I submitted one to Stampin’ Up! for their review. Today I found out that it is featured in the Demonstrator’s Stamper’s Showcase! Whoo hoo! They only select a few cards, and they seem to have rather strict guidelines. I’m so excited that mine was picked!

It’s Kymberlie’s 30th Birthday! Whoo hoo! Happy Birthday, Kymberlie! 30s are the new 20s! You will love them!
Happy Birthday to Wendy, too!
Yarn, Yarn, Yarn!
While at a technology related conference like SXSW, it is really exciting to find another knitter. While waiting for the Accessibility shoot-out to begin, I turned around and spotted a lady wearing a Clapotis scarf, and I almost screamed. I immediately pointed out to Matt, “See! Another knitter! We are everywhere!” because I had pointed out earlier that there are a lot of knitters online. A whole target market that people are really missing. So it was a thrill to meet Julie of Yarnmaven, and to admire her absolutely gorgeous scarf. I’m definitely going to have to get some of that yarn – it is beautiful!
