Someone sent us the Planetarium chocolate set by Enric Rovira as a thankyou to Jonah for giving a talk at the Web 2.0 Expo recently. A much cooler concept than a lot of the crap they cook up over at Vosges (the Groove collection?), where my partner works, but also a little less tastey. I ate Pluto, which was included despite its not being a planet anymore.

In the vein of my new “kicking ass at work” effort comes this new mug, designed to be distinguishable from the oppressive “BuzzFeed standard” white office mugs. I picked it up from Loma Prieta Pottery via Etsy, my first purchase of this kind. I am thoughly satisfied. Mark pointed out that this kind of gives off a “art teacher” aesthetic, but i figure that’s not too terrible. It reminds me of my grandfather, a chemist turned sculpter, and I like that.

Also of note is the fact that I’ve been sneaking into the BuzzFeed publishing system again and have published a few more trends. Try:

• Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor
• World’s Largest Self-portrait

I’m sure they will cut me off sooner or later. I don’t really want to annoy the editors, but the system is pretty fun to use. That’s good since I am spending my days working on it’s working.
