Gift Guide: Modern Mobiles

CasaSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:15:12 -0800

Like decorating your first apartment, decorating your baby's nursery is a really exciting task. But many new moms tend to forget that their $59 polyester pony mobile will end up in the attic within a few months. So if you're shopping for a holiday gift for an infant or a nursery-decorating friend, I recommend wrapping up a mobile that can act as décor long after a baby moves out of the crib.

One of my favorites is this CB2 Abstract Mobile ($19.95), which is very clearly inspired by the work of acclaimed American sculptor Alexander Calder, who invented the mobile in 1931. I have a few more modern mobiles up my sleeve, so read more.

Coveted Crib: Alexander Calder's Sculpture-Filled French Home

CasaSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:30:45 -0800

Many Casa readers are probably familiar with artist Alexander Calder's unmistakable sculptures and mobiles. Recently, I stumbled across photos of his French home and studio from the 1960s. The eclectic home and art-filled spaces are the obvious home of an artist. To take a peek at Calder's home, check out the slideshow. Gjon Mili for Life Magazine

CalorieKing Goes Mobile

FitSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0700

While it would be great to have a nutritionist on hand at all times to guide us while ordering at restaurants, it just isn't feasible. They have busy lives and we probably couldn't afford that kind of customer service anyway. If you can't have a traveling nutritionist, you can keep the next best thing in your pocket. CalorieKing, one of my favorite calorie and nutritional information websites and pocket guides, has created a version of its site designed specifically for mobile phone users. It is easy to use and the interface is not clogged up with a lot of graphics so the sought out information downloads to your phone quickly.

Here's how it works:

Type http://www.calorieking.com/mobile/ into the browser of your phone and begin searching. You now have 50,000 meals, fast food and chain restaurant items at your fingertips, wherever you have a mobile connection. The other great bonus is that it is free. You don't need to sign in or register.

To see what my results for chocolate ice cream found, just read more.

I selected Cold Stone Creamery Light Chocolate and here is how the nutritional information is laid out.

Check it out and it might help you keep your food intake in check!

Danger! Danger! Love It or Hate It?

Artist Lisa Congdon made a mobile out of scissors and loops to display in her San Francisco design shop, Rare Device. Inventive. But you know what I think? Don't try this at home.
