For years the Recording Industry Association of America has been cracking down on some really annoying people—their customers. The plan to stop this? Target more customers and make them pay outlandish amounts for distributing it.Now it would stand to reason that if a large portion of your customers demanded to receive your services in a way that you weren't offering, that you would figure out a

After the Young Women Presidency announced the new Young Womens theme (adding the value "virtue" with the color gold), I wrote on our theme poster and tried sticking it to the wall. That poster just doesn't want to stay up.So being the designer I am, I designed a whole new look for the Young Womens theme, which is less grandma-looking. It's a banner that can be hung and has a damask pattern with

Before I moved to England, I had heard the horror stories of Socialised Healthcare. All the doctors were bad because they didn't get paid very well and had no incentive to treat people better or improve their profession because there was no reward system to be recognized for good work and everyone got paid the same. This meant that although my doctor was free, my doctor wouldn't be good. I was

Today I cast my overseas ballot. The designer in me couldn't help but be annoyed at the horrible design associated with these punch cards. Allow me to elaborate on what I mean...The trick to making a clear design where the number and the dot are an obvious correct pair, is through close proximity and alignment. So I'll share with you what's wrong with the current ballot design of today (A) and

Andrew and I are addicted to this show. Maybe more me than him, but not by much. It makes me feel like I'm connected to the US even though I'm surrounded by english land, people and accents.So it was a nice find today to see these additional scenes and episodes on the nbc site.

Today I registered to be an overseas voter. I was surprised to find out I'm still part of the "youth vote". Next year though, I'll have to forgo the hip stylish website and go with the vanilla corporate one. Ah well.I thought I'd share some links on how to find out information about candidates. This year I want to be extra informed and make a really good vote, despite the fact that no matter what

Saw this the other day while I was online grocery shopping, so I took a screenshot (I didn't photoshop it, why would I spend time on a joke this lame?). I just had to share. Everything is going digital these days. Sadly, they don't sell these anymore (hence why I took a screen shot before it disappeared!).

Since birth, I have been allergic to milk. Without getting into detail, milk and my body don't get along, and sometimes it puts me to sleep. But thanks to last year's revelation that my allergy is based on the milk of cows; the world of goats, and now sheep have opened new possibilities to me as never before! Which means cheese is no longer taboo! :)I went to a local cheese shop yesterday and

Well, despite all of your efforts, my project didn't make it to the final 20 projects. Thanks everyone for your help, I'm sure I'll get this built one way or the other!

I am amazed by the people I am able to find through random online connections. Last week I got an email from pinkribbonsally asking if she could add my breast cancer website to her blogroll. Then, she wrote this post on her blog. Wow! Talk about motivation to keep going. After a while of working on my own, I do feel like a crazy inventor and wonder if I'm making something that really is useful.

There was a guy in my high school that had a pet pygmy goat. He had it on a leash and walked it around town. I was so jealous. The goat was a little bigger than this guy shown above. Little did I know just how much I would come to love goats.For years I've had to make decisions between cheesecake and its certain aftermath, or opting for the dairy-free crackers and tap water during dessert time.

This photo was taken on my cell phone just before Andrew proposed at Targhee (had no clue what was coming!).

For those of you who may not have already heard, I am officially engaged. As someone who has been a diligent member of the mormon spinster sisterhood for a while now, I find myself now planning a wedding, wearing a ring and going dress shopping.

The last couple of weeks for some reason have made me nearly homesick for Switzerland. I haven't been there for 3 years after spending 2 summers there in a town called Leysin and I really want to go back. Maybe it's the winter season and thinking of snow.

So I'm back in the States visiting for Thanksgiving and my brother's departure to France via the Missionary Training Center. Adjusting to the time zone was a snap, because when you arrive, you eat and then can go to bed because it's evening. And thanks to British Airways, I had a very nice flight here with a row all to myself.I went to a Super Super Wal-Mart today, the first time for me, and holy

What Would Kenny Rogers Do? I'm sure this is a question all of us have asked ourselves in a quiet moment of decision...then decided to make a t-shirt about it and show him. I know this guy has.Oh, man that's too bad! I was about to pucker my lips, then I read the small print.Darn it all to heck!Either way, this phrase doesn't make sense, even in its popular form.

A few of you might have heard of the $100 laptop idea by a philantropist who wanted to make laptops available for children in less developed countries...well the computer is here. It's $200, but apparently is great.People in the US and Canada are able to purchase a laptop through Nov 26 on one condition: you buy two. One for you, one for a kid in a far off land. It's a pretty neat idea. You can

Larry Lessig is a pretty cool guy. I know this because David Wiley talks about him so much (my forever boss).Here is a great video about the past, present and future of media and voice. Today I was talking with Nikkala about how blogging will change the way our (respective and for me hypothetical) children will view us. Larry touches a bit on these differences between us and the future in the

So last month Andrew and I were waiting for the trained Sea Lion show to begin at a wildlife park in England. He stroked his chin and hiccuped. And we laughed, because well, hiccups are funny. We talked about how every time he shaves he hiccups and then it occurred to me, maybe it's touching his chin that makes him hiccup...sure enough it does!

I have put ecards on my website that you can share just like Hallmark does (but without having to register!). I've also redone the homepage (if you see something odd on your pc, lemme know).

I have been reading a lot of interesting articles with the topic of "Mormon" thanks to my Google news alerts. I have read some good some bad, but I had to share this one, as it is strange how you can make an article out of people's quotes about why they think Mormons are stupid and shouldn't run for things like President.Here's the article.Here's my response, well, I borrowed it. ;)One theme that

So I have resisted joining Facebook for a while. To me, it was another mySpace: a way to broadcast a page all about you to everyone. So I didn't pay much attention.Well, I joined because I thought it would help with my breast cancer project, so I thought I would do it to explore how it operated and see if it would be useful. I set up the mayor with her own account and made a page about Worldwide

So a couple weeks ago, I emailed a member of my stake about some church business. And now that I have, I am in her address book. This I have discovered means every week or few days I get a panicked email about a new virus that will eat my computer (5 years old), sign a petition to stop a homosexual film about Christ (rumor is over 20 years old) and other strange urgent messages filling my

Yesterday Andrew and I went on a picnic to "Our Hill" a few miles away from my town. On the way back was a sign for fireworks and a bon fire. How can you ignore a cool sign like that? So we stopped, asked the villagers what was going on and they directed us to the town hall, where the procession would start.We walked to the town hall to find a small group of bagpipers in a circle smoking and

So my brother is home waiting to leave on his mission and he got bored (this photo was on his facebook and I love it, he also has him as a pope, a gnome and a kid among others).

Sometimes I feel like this guy, I'm creating breast cancer art for people who don't ask for it. In the medical community I'm like a graffiti artist that is marking on their territory. But mostly they seem to like it.Anyway, if you haven't heard of Banksy, you should. He's an artist that works mostly in imposed environments, ie graffiti.

So the "Family Search on the Road" exhibition is over. For those of you who don't know what this is, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has for over 100 years gathered parish records and other paper records. Up until people putting these records on microfilm and digitizing them, they were stored in old trunks in the recesses of old churches, molding. The fruits of a lot of these

I've been working on the redesign of my breast cancer site since...honestly it's been so long I can't remember. But since July the site has been down, and I've spent a lot of late nights working on getting it finished. After a very slow server, having to switch hosts, figuring out why my pages weren't linking, and learning a lot about what can go wrong with wordpress, it is finally up and visible

Tonight I was looking at 51weeks.com, a sweet little web dohicky by the folks at COSL.

After spending a summer in Paris last year and his fast french skills, this is a great match for him. It covers a couple islands as well! He'll be going a guy from my ward who has been serving there for a year now, Richard Holt.

Well the blog hasn't had a post for a couple weeks, because I am home and busy with life off of the computer. It has been nice!My friend Shelley got married yesterday. It was really a beautiful day. It has been nice getting hot and feeling the sun on my skin. In a few photos I think people will say "who is the white glowing girl with the blue veins?" It is my British skin from all of the rain!I

For those of you who know me, I love the number 27. It is the best number ever. When people ask, "what is you favorite number?" before the question is even done, I'm shouting "27!" it's a bit weird how I can like a number so much. I don't even have a favorite color really, but I've got my number all set.27 shows up everywhere. No kidding. In movies, on the road, on clothes, all over. I challenge

I won the poster prize! I got a shiny certificate and a 2GB mp3 player. 2nd and 3rd prize was wine, so I lucked out.I made some good contacts, mainly with caBig.cancer.gov. The director, outreach and community people were interested in my work. I'm hoping that something good can come from our chats over dinner and card exchanges. My work was pretty well received. But it was funny to see come

Tomorrow I head off to my first science conference, as a presenter...well kinda. I'm putting up a poster on a wall with other posters on a wall, and then standing by that poster to talk to people. It should be fun!I'm hoping to meet a few people who can help me get my project off the ground. In preparation, I've made business cards with the title "Breast Cancer Designer". I figure that title

Last year my eyes watered on the train as I listened to Neil Diamond's "we're coming to America". So this year I was determined to do something American for my second favorite holiday of the year.So I looked up the American Embassy's newsletter and found a few events. One was a bash by the Navy on June 30 with fireworks and food stalls. However, it was the same day as the Stake service project

Today American Express announced it's top 50 projects. I figured since I wasn't informed prior to this deadline that mine wasn't one of the projects chosen. This turned out to be true.Some of the projects chosen surprised me, as many are projects to cure diseases, without a plan of how to make it happen. These were projects that received many votes because they were issues that related to people

So my posts are a mix of phd stuff and life stuff. So here is one for the fans of "life posts". I've been posting a lot the past couple weeks (a lot for me anyway). I will take bets on how long you think it will last. ;)Okay, I've been "tagged" by Nik here goes.Some Jobs I've held:1. La Pizzeria: Delivery, Pizza Maker, Order Taker girl.2. Sold Ads at Ricks College newspaper.3. Terrastar fitness

So I've been looking more at Google Maps, and I've become acquainted with some new phrases this week:API = means that they've allowed you a door into their system. For instance with a Google API key, you can then design a new application that uses their google maps system.mashups = that little application you made using that open door key.So there are some cool things that people are doing with

Don't you just love YouTube?Ba-ba-ba-boozig!you can also find it in Norwegian! ;) I think this is one of the best intro cartoon theme tunes of all time. I know it will be in your head all day...weeyoo!

So this morning I got an ecard from my family. At first I thought it was addressed to the wrong person:Then I realized it really was for me. So I guess now I will offer my own Tribute to Tony Blair, who resigned as Prime Minister yesterday after 10 years as PM and 24 years as an MP, which is like a senator. (He never wore a wig, that's for the speaker of the house and lawyers mostly) The

Just came across this article in the London Times. It's about Twitter, and Shelley exposed this web 2.0 app to me a few weeks ago. I thought it was cute, but after seeing Twittervision, I'm entranced...by the possibilities. Equally cool is Flickrvision, by the same guy.What if Lemonland citizens could tap into that and just turn on Lemonland Twitters? People could see a whole new way to connect

So here is the poster I've designed for the research conference. It is 3x3' in size and is supposed to explain:Why visual metaphors should be used in global breast cancer communication.Why a global breast cancer resource should be online and how it should work.How an online resource can extend to those who are not online.I'm also wondering if I should change the title? Also, the text outside the

I have now sold 150 of my posters on art.com since last August! I am now trying out another site called imagekind that has a better royalty scheme, but we'll see if that still translates into sales. My imagekind site should be up by the end of the week, I'll let you know when it is!I would like to add more cool posters to my work, as I only like a few of them on the site now. I have been working

So yesterday Andrew and I went to La Hacienda. It is a mexican restaurant in my town, that apart from the rice and the beans makes an okay chimichAHnga, or as the Brits say, "chimichAnga". The last time Andrew and I went there was the night that I started to see myself with him and we really hit it off with the owner. This time the owner could have cared less about us, and we were ignored to the

So this post theme is "connections to home". The first one is something that I am almost tempted to move home for, the new iPhone. It's pretty cool. A few years ago I thought of the same idea, but I'll let Steve Jobs run this one. With the iPod as hot as it is, making it into a cell phone as well, that just can't be beat. So it will be for sale the end of June. It isn't available in Europe until
