I just purchased Sony’s VAIO VGN-FW235J/H laptop, and so far it’s proving to be an excellent choice. I’ve only had Sony laptops, so maybe I’m not the best person to review it in comparison to other brands, but here it is anyways. I was shopping at Best Buy and really was planning on getting some HP model, hopefully something on sale. I wanted Intel Duo 64 bit processor, minimum 2GHz, 3GB to 4GB ram, at least 1600×1200 resolution, and a 17 inch display. Well, I got almost everything. The display is 1600×900, and 16.4 inches, but I’m very happy with it overall. So far performance has not had a single hangup, although I am not running many applications at once.

From the archives of LIFE magazine, this is a cool little photo collection of 70′s rock icons at home with their parents. Includes Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Grace Slick and more. I want Frank Zappa’s home; and I love how he dressed to match the interior. Source: Apartment Therapy

I love these! They would be a perfect gift for any science geek. For me, I would want the Serotonin or Mescaline molecule. They’re handmade by artist Ed Steckley, of Celestine Glass. “The molecules are made of borosilicate glass as 3D representations of 2D molecular structures (so they can lie flat on a table). Different elements–carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, etc–are represented by different color glass. Contributors can choose the molecular structure of psychoactive chemicals such as DMT, LSD, MDMA, Psilocin, Nitrous Oxide, and Serotonin.” Source: Erowid

Hello world, this is anthropod 1 and this is my new blog. My real name is Jessica and I am the graphic and web designer for Corvus Design Studio, in San Luis Obispo, CA. I noticed that I was veering off course with my blog posts over at Corvus Design, so I started this new blog to post a wider range of content. It will mostly be art, technology, and concept designs. I just love technology and especially futuristic items, so you will find a lot of that here. Anyway, hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
