Lost in cyberspace (and badges)

Okay, so I use a personalized Google home page. But the number of RSS feeds on my Google home page was getting out of hand. So I decided to try Google Reader and put only the Google Reader deal to my homepage. This is working out well. Now that I've got all my blogs added to reader, I'm adding some new blogs and even categorizing. I added a few things to a new "design" category. One of those is design fckr. Staying up past bedtime, I just discovered Prickie though design fckr. Then I found out from the Prickie News tab that Random Good Stuff is having a contest to win free Prickie badges (which are actually pretty neat). Which brings me here. There are so many badges (aka pins) on Prickie that I couldn't get through the A's. But, from the few thousand I must have seen so far, this one is my favorite. It's by an artist called annejulie. I'm really loving her work online. Gorgeous! I hope I win the Random Good Stuff contest so I can pick out my 24 badges. In fact, I think I already picked them. :-D Although the lack of per-page URLs for bookmarking in all-Flash sites drives me bananas, Prickie actually has a unique and effective preview and add to cart functionality that I'm quite fond of. Check it out if you care about that sort of thing.
