Hamilton Design made a set of wine glasses, each one representing one of the seven deadly sins. Gluttony is pictured above, but Pride and Envy are front-runners too. (via kirtsy)

So, my alarmingly capable husband Bryan Mason and his partner Jeff Veen are putting together a conference for people who want to launch their own start-ups. It’s called Start Conference, appropriately enough, and the speaker lineup is killer.

Also? It’s only $200 for the day, which is ludicrously cheap for something like this. Then again, I suppose it would be tough to expense a conference that teaches you how to successfully leave your job. Anyway, spaces won’t be available for long, so go have a look if you’re a company-starting type.

Working in the coffee shop under a potted palm, I pause to brush the hair from my eyes. A dead bug falls onto my keyboard.

I gasp loudly, and yank my laptop up, inches away from my face, to examine the specimen more closely. Praises to all that is holy, it has wings, unlike the lice we too recently battled in our home.

But, may I just say, what the ever-loving hell, people? Did someone put Purina Bug Chow in my shampoo? I could go a very, very long time without finding another surprise insect on my premises.
