Three little shiney things...

* The Puzzle Apartment (the story, to go along with the photos):

The apartment is quite attractive and perfectly functional in all the typical ways, and its added features remained largely unnoticed by its inhabitants for quite some time after they moved in, in May of 2006. Then one night four months later, Cavan Klinsky, who is now 11, had a friend over. The boy was lying on the floor in Cavan's bedroom, staring at dozens of letters that had been cut into the radiator grille. They seemed random - FDYDQ, for example. But all of a sudden the friend leapt up with a shriek, Ms. Sherry said, having realized that they were actually a cipher (a Caesar Shift cipher, to be precise), and that Cavan's name was the first word.

So. Awesome. When I win the lottery? Oh yes.

* Did you know? curiositykt has an Etsy shop - of particular note to those reading might be her lovely custom-modded Maverick NERF guns - she'll hand-deliver them (and save you the shipping!) if you LARP with her, AND she'll mod them however you like! Ping her!

* Also? syllymidget ALSO has a Etsy shop - she's experimenting with the wide and wonderful worlds of origami jewelry, chainmaille jewelry, and has started making some awesome leather masks. She does custom work! Ping her!

pimpin, shiney thing
