The website Kickstarter is the most revolutionary tool in the world of business today.  And I say that with all the confidence of someone who knows absolutely nothing about business.  So there. But, as someone who knows nothing about business … I think this Kickstarter website is pretty damn good.  I like it so [...]

If you’re over the age of 20, chances are you have a piece of clothing you just can’t get rid of.  If you’re me, chances are you have several pieces of clothing you can’t get rid of. But everyone has at least one thing they’ve saved.  Not something you think you’re necessarily going to wear [...]

I can’t remember exactly when the last time we discussed television shows was but I think I was in my  HBO phase.  I’m pretty much always in my HBO phase. Which is a bit of a shame, because lately HBO doesn’t even seem to be in their HBO phase.  Dustin Hoffman’s racetrack drama, Luck anyone?  Barf. [...]

    Last Friday I presented a tiny bit of a challenge to you all.  Well, considering the photo, not really a challenge at all actually.  I asked you to come up with a caption for a photo.  A photo of me.  Looking pretty.  And elegant. The person to come up with the caption deemed [...]

Friday’s have become a bit of a playground around here at The Art of Doing Stuff.  A day for ridiculousness.  ’Cause we all need a bit of ridiculousness in our lives.  Unless that ridiculousness comes in the form of  Rob Schneider.  Or harem pants.   That kind of ridiculous we can do without.  At least [...]

Everyone get ready to do a kartwheel … The Art of Doing Stuff is now mobile friendly. And that’s as it should be. It took me long enough.  Not having your site mobile friendly is the blog equivalent to a firefighter trying to put out a blaze with a long row of people, a few [...]

These are a few of my favourite things. Click on the sponsor to see my favourite thing from their site this month. Plus a couple of little known facts about each of them.   I thank you, the sponsors thank you, the economy thanks you, the man I hired to install my new furnace thanks [...]

Photoshop fun!  Seems like an oxymoron doesn’t it?  And it is.  For the first few years anyway.  After you get over that initial decade of figuring out the basics of Photoshop, it’s smooooothhhh sailing. If you’ve encountered the frustration that is the Photoshop learning curve, stick with it.  You’ll survive in the end.  Provided you [...]

I realize this isn’t the sort of thing I normally do.  Not the sort of thing I normally write about.  But, I’ve never been one to follow convention.  And quite frankly, like you, I am not one dimensional.  I am human. Today is Holocaust remembrance day. It’s one of those official days that doesn’t get [...]

I’m right in the middle of a LOT of work right now.  It involves tearing up of the lawn, planting things, removing dirt from my nose (the inside) and clomping around in my very own Bogs boots, actually. So let’s get right to it shall we?  No one wants to read through a bunch of [...]

Wayyyy back around Christmas I took some time off to partake in my latest adventure. Relaxing. As many of you may remember, relaxing consisted of knitting a sweater, perfecting homemade pizzas, reading and … teaching myself to screen print these tea towels.  I also spent a little time looking up the *exact* definition of relaxing. [...]

So you wanna start a blog do you?  So did I. Congratulations! You’ve started your blog!  So did I. Things are going well, people who don’t know your middle name are reading your posts … you think you might wanna start to run advertising.  So did I. Only, when I started my blog and decided [...]
