Tottering Towers (a.k.a. Tolle Turme)

Please Note: HABA games are very high quality games produced in Germany and include English rules. "Who has the big red tower I wonder?", King Theseus Tower broods. "First it was Princess Tamara Turret, then Earl Torquil Tower. But in whose little bag is it now?" Thoughtfully he looks from one bag to the other. Somewhere, there is the tower which would allow him to build the tallest tower of all in the end, thus winning the game. Game Contents: 2 Blue Towers 3 Orange, Red and Green Towers 4 Yell...

Ypulse Guest Post: A Day At Comic-Con With Teens In Tow

Last week as I was watching G4's Comic-Con coverage and reading about the panels on EW's PopWatch, I put the call out to any Ypulse readers who might be attending to see if they wanted to write a Ypulse Guest Post. YA author Marlene Perez (Dead is the New Black) responded and sent over this dispatch from Friday's festivities along with a link to her photos on Flickr. If you work in youth media or marketing and want to write a Ypulse Guest Post, just email me with an idea. A Day At Comic-Con With...

The Bones panel -- Comic-Con Report

Filed under: Bones, Interviews, Reality-Free, Comic-Con David Boreanaz knows how to work a crowd. The man is honest, funny, and self-deprecating. Oh, and I guess he's good looking (I'm a man's man and really don't look at those things.) That's probably a reason why so many women crowded into the huge Ballroom 20 for the Bones panel -- a panel that I was highly anticipating. Well, it was probably Boreanaz as well as the appearances of Tamara Taylor (Cam), John Francis Daley (Dr. Sweets) and Micha...

Birsel + Seck for Herman Miller: Teneo

by Tamara Warren The classic filing cabinet has the admirable function of safely storing documents, but leaves something to be desired when it comes to form. (Think square, metal, heavy and bulky.) Addressing the problem, Herman Miller wisely brought in designers Birsel + Seck to conceive their Teneo line. The storage system recently received the Best of Competition award at Neocon for Best of...

Get off The Technology Merry-Go-Round

Photo by Tamara Voninski I just read that the new iPhone has about half the battery life of the old one. "How is this advancement?", I wondered. And more to the point how amazing are the marketing people that have us believe it?

We Won!

Tami, Daniel, Brandon, and Candace, CFO's top four point-earners at this weekend's CF Games I'm going to make this brief because I'm really frickin' tired so here goes.... Congratulations to everyone on the team. We went down and came out on top! Daniel and Brandon ended up being our top two male performers, and on the women's side it was Tami and Candace. But EVERYONE contributed! Props to Tami for just missing out on a medal (she finished 4th overall) and to Mike "MJJ" for winning the men's 1...

You Scream, I Scream, and Then You Scream My Scream

I've neglected to mention up till now the action going on in the Scream festival, which culminates in Monday's Scream in High Park reading night. Partly in dishonor of the current blaze over Bill C-61, the fabulously flawed proposed copyright reform, the theme of this year's Scream is "Copyright, Collaboration, and Appropriation." So for instance tonight at the Gladstone local poet Kevin Connolly offers his poem "Plenty" up to re-inventions by playwright Conor Green, artist Olia Mischenko, film...
