Yes. Someone decided to make a Steve Jobs doll for all the Apple fans out there to worship cuddle and sleep with. The handmade plush toy is of course, fitted with Jobs’ signature mock turtleneck and blue jeans.

(It was one of my favourite books at the time! I highly recommend it to all sci-fi lovers!) Using cardboard, construction paper, paint, and glue, my partner and I had created a rotating structure which our teacher was quite impressed with. That’s why, when I saw this Completely Cardboard Office designed for Nothing I had a moment.

Growing up in York Region within the Greater Toronto Area, I must tell you how amused I am by some drivers’ inability to “see the pair of straight lines” and “position their vehicle in between them”.
