One thing I love almost as much as robots and hand crafted stuff is wine. That’s why my inner lush was giddy with delight over this wonderful Robot Wine Rack that I found on Etsy. The wine rack from paperdollwoodshop is made of wood (also a big Chopping Block passion) and painted to bright beautiful […]

Every morning for several months, I get out of the Canal Street 1 stop and I walked past a fenced in area between Canal and Grand. I was curious about what was brewing behind those closed fences but I could never quite get a good look. Then a few weeks ago the fences came down […]

Today is my 1-year anniversary at the Block.  It’s also dangerously close to a few Block birthdays.  In celebration of these monumentus events, I decided to bake a cake that (kind of) looks like our logo.  Also it incorporates our odd love of oranges and it’s sitting on a wood cutting board so we get the wood […]

Today is a wonderful day the block. Leo, one of our own, got himself hitched and we couldn’t be more thrilled. So you can imagine my excitement when I came across this on etsy. This adorable painting clocks in at a miniscule 2½” × 3½” but it is really quite beautiful even at such a […]

Every once in a while I’ll come by some product that I must email out to the entire studio and beg them to get it for the office.  I think I may have just stumbled upon such a product.  Behold, Lime Robot Love Soap by LoveLeeSoaps. The soap is made from glyerin and shea butter […]

I am going to skip over the obvious ones: Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator and focus on a few deeper tracks that you may or may not have heard of.

Today’s Robot Stuff on Etsy features a hand pulled screen print of a robot made up of letters on 100% recycled card stock.  Not only does this tickle my inner geek and inner designer but also my inner environmentalist.  This print is about 20×27 inches and comes in either cobalt blue or silver.  I personally prefer the blue. […]

Your regular old Twitter account would still be free but they’re adding on special features for those users who want to shell out the big […]
