The All Modern giveaway has come to a close. I’ve just visited random.org and come up with the magic winning number, and it is (drum roll please)…

Number 34! So the winner of those fabulous bowls is Amanda, who left the 34th comment on the post. If you are Amanda, then congratulations! If you are NOT Amanda, then I am terribly sorry, because you won’t be getting any free bowls in the mail. But thank you all so much for entering, and for leaving such fantastic comments about this site.

Also, my thanks again to All Modern for making this giveaway possible.

Howdy.

Finally I have gotten around to getting some updates on this silly website.

I’ve got four new background patterns for you:

I’ve made a new wallpaper, seen below. This wallpaper is available in six sizes, and also as a tiled background.

For my birthday I got a larger computer monitor. It is awesome on so very many levels, and I’ve learned that Dreamweaver is really a million times easier to use when you can actually see what you’re doing. But sadly there is a down side to all this awesomeness: Not a single one of the nearly 80 wallpapers I’ve created over the years actually fits my screen. So in an effort to get with the times, I’ve updated many of the old papers so that they are available in a variety of wide screen sizes. I’ve uploaded over 60 new images today and dealt with quite a lot of code, so if you find any errors on the wallpaper page please let me know.

I’ve also updated the travel section with some new photos of Los Angeles. I was there for three days in June, which finally gave me some time to see some of the touristy stuff that all Californians are required to know about. I feel like such a bad Californian sometimes; I’ve lived here my whole life but I’ve never been to Disneyland, Alcatraz, or Yosemite.

Remember that if you want to enter to win some bowls from All Modern, this is your last chance! Really, RIGHT NOW. A winner will be chosen on the the 13th.

That’s it for today.

Greetings!

I know I’ve been slacking a bit this month in updating, but I think this entry is going to more than make up for it! A few days ago the nice people over at All Modern contacted me about possibly holding a giveaway on my website. So of course I said yes because everyone loves free stuff, especially when it’s shiny and new and fabulous.

So let me introduce you to the ‘In the Mix’ Small Bowl Set, designed by notNeutral. It’s a set of four porcelain bowls with various black and white patterns on them. They’re modern, they’re practical (dishwasher and microwave safe) and they can brighten up any table setting. But best of all, if you are lucky enough to win them, then even leftovers and mushy cereal will taste like VICTORY. Or so I’m guessing.

They could be yours free if you just leave a comment on this post with your first name and email and maybe a little comment about why you’d like to win. This contest is open only to residents of the US and Canada. The winner will be chosen randomly on July 13th, 2009, and I’ll send you an email if you win!

Even if you are not lucky enough to win these lovely bowls, you should check out All Modern’s website, which is filled with a great selection of modern furniture, home accessories and lighting from top brands like Kartell, Alessi, Knoll, Herman Miller, Blu Dot and more.

Good luck!
