Til death do us part

Oh my goodness, this video is heartbreakingly beautiful: Brooklyn couple Danny and Annie tell the true story of their twenty-seven-year romance, from their first date to Danny's last days with terminal cancer. You have to watch it.

3-year-old charmer

Oh my goodness, this video of a 3-year-old reciting a gorgeous (and long!) poem is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. I posted it on Highchair Critics; watch it here. I can't believe he memorized the whole thing.

Mantra

Remember this hilarious little dude? When I saw the illustration last year, I made it my mantra for whenever people left salty blog comments. (It's such a smart thing to keep in mind, so you don't take things too personally.) Well, now there's a letterpress print! Genius.

Tattoo love

How fun are these color system tattoos? So cute for a couple.

P.S. The New York Times should write an article about how adorable and creative tattoos are becoming.

Eames high chair

Designer Tim Peet and his friends transformed an Eames chair into this awesome high chair, in an attempt to "break the status surrounding high design objects." Awesome.

The kitten who couldn't jump

This is totally random, but I'm sleepy and punchy so I'm going to post it. So, here, ladies and gentlemen, is the kitten who couldn't jump.

P.S. I really love that she still tries! There's a life lesson in there. :)
P. P.S. And a random dog video.

Cheese wedding cakes

For you cheese enthusiasts out there: How amazing are these stinky cheese wedding cakes?! I wish I had known about these when we tied the knot!

BEST wedding video

Oh. Lordy. Max and Margaux's wedding video (by Shark Pig) is the most joyous and beautifully edited wedding video I've ever seen. My heart is all aflutter. Amazing. (Love the dancing feet!)

Travel fantasy: Treehotel

Treehotel is a brand new design hotel in northern Sweden, less than an hour from the Arctic Circle. The Mirrorcube room, above, has a double bed and roof deck, and you access it by rope bridge. I can't believe how beautiful it is! Wouldn't you die to stay there?

P.S. More travel fantasies.

Date My Single Kid

My friend Colby's mom is obsessed with finding him a wife, so she's always trying to set him up (with her dental hygienist, a pretty girl on the subway...) Well, she has now taken it to a new level and launched a website called Date My Single Kid, where she and other moms can help set up their grown kids! How genius is that?

(The New York Post wrote a funny story about it this morning. Read it here.)

Tourist lanes

Well, that is hilarious.

Inspired by Iceland

Inspired by Iceland is a new project by the Icelandic government that encourages people to travel to Iceland and not be too scared of volcanos. Don't you love this video that they made? The filming is incredible, and, oh, those glaciers!

(Thanks, Harpa)

Bike rush hour

My sister sent me this video of bike rush hour in the Netherlands, where more than a third of the people commute by bike! Awesome.

A thank-you note a day

Leah Dieterich's mother always told her to write thank you notes, so she started a blog where she writes thank-you notes to everything in her life. So funny. (Let's do our own! What thank-you note would you write today?)
