Yum! There’s a new ice cream parlor in town, and boy is it delicious! Today was the grand opening of Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream Shop, and the line to get a cone wrapped around the block. 
Flavors:

Daryn: Cardamom and Thai Iced Tea
Brooke: Salted Caramel and Vivace Coffee
Cardamom and caramel were our favorites today, but they were all delicious, and the coffee was perhaps the best coffee ice cream I’ve ever had.

Willie Nelson - Rainbow Connection (Kermit the Frog Cover)

 Just bought tickets to see Willie Nelson at Marymoor Park this summer!

I uploaded a few photos of Kekrops to Flickr for my new Moo Cards; now he’s a star!

Ranting on the Rants

A lot of people are bitching about the $999 design fee from Tumblize; I don’t see what the big deal is…

1.  Sure, you can get it done for less (or for free, or do it yourself), but that’s true about most services. If you like their work, and the price seems fair to you, I say go for it.  It’s no different from any other web design or template customization, where prices can range from $50 to $1000 for what could arguably be considered the same quality of work.

2.  I call my Flickr account my Flickr (while the actual photos are just photos), my LinkedIn profile is my LinkedIn, and my Facebook page is my Facebook.  While this site may be *a* tumblelog, it is also *my* Tumblr - and each entry is a post. Why are people so snippy about that? 


nostrich:

No, seriously, it’s just $999. For a one-page design.


Oh, and guys, again, it’s a tumblelog, not a Tumblr. The same way my photos on Flickr are just photos, not Flickrs.

From today’s DailyCandy Seattle; Not sure it’s exactly the TeachStreet mantra, but I found that quote especially witty.
