Traillerrific: The Road

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I’ve heard a lot about this movie from people who read the book it’s based on: The Road from Cormac McCarthy (who also wrote No Country For Old Men). It’s set 10 years from now, where some disaster has destroyed most of civilization, and a father and his son try to survive by any means necessary. 

I didn’t like No Country For Old Men, so I’m a bit torn up about this movie. Here’s the trailer:

The trailer does look great, so I’m hoping for the best. For those of you who have read the book: should I maybe read it first before seeing this movie?

The Cutting Edge: Lasercut Jewelry

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I love love love these jewelry designs from Molly M Designs. They are just so simple and elegant, but with a mathematical twist.

The story behind the store is pretty interesting too. Molly McGrath is professionally trained as an architect and after using a laser cutter to make architectural models, she realized the machine potential to make unique jewelry. Each design starts out with a sketch, which are then drafted into AutoCAD and printed on the laser cutter.

From what I can see on the site, every design is available as earrings or as a pendant. Depending on the design, they are available as small or large. Here are the prices: small earrings are $36, large earrings are $46, small pendants are $36 and large pendants are $46.
