I have been working on a web series for the past few months, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the Kickstarter campaign today.
The series is called “Job Hunters”: it’s a comedic web series about roommates set in a dystopian society. After college, people must fight in an arena from 9am-5pm daily in order to be properly placed into a career. Job Hunters focuses on one “rag-tag group” of hunters during their down time, spent in a government sanctioned safe house. Yes, there will be blood. And roommate issues.
I”ll be writing and acting in the series, and am psyched to do something so creative and different. The series itself will launch in March. If you’re excited about the project as well, feel free to donate or spread the word! Every little bit will help make this project a success.

Twilight has inspired all kinds of products ranging from hair products
Bella Italia, the restaurant where Bella and Edward have their first date, has made their mushroom ravioli available in stores and to order online. The restaurant served as inspiration for Stephanie Meyer while writing that scene, served as the location for the scene in the first movie, and is now a tourist destination for every Twilight fan. Restaurant owner Neil Conklin says “we’ve served more than 10,000 of these iconic pasta plates in the restaurant, and I wanted to make it available to everyone.”
The ravioli looks and sounds delicious, and is an easy way to add a bit of Twilight to your dinner, slumber party, or Twilight marathon.
Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli, $10.99 for a 20 ounce serving (minimum two) at BellaItaliaPa.com.

This made the rounds last week, but was too good not to share here as well.
This nursery has the perfect balance of geek+class. It’s clean and simple, but obviously about Star Wars. Let’s hope this boy grows up to love the geekdom as much as his parents!

KitchenAid Brazil’s Facebook page released this pic of a special edition KitchenAid Mixer… and I want it. I’m not sure when it’s available and for how much, but at this point it may be in Brazil only.
There are some folks that think it’s offensive to put Wonder Woman on a domestic product, but come on. My KitchanAid Mixer IS a superhero in my eyes. And why not remember that you’re also super while you’re making those cookies? Either way, if Wonder Woman and bright colors aren’t your thing, they also released a great skull and crossbone model.
