CK Friday Links--Friday February 4, 2011

Greetings from Santiago Chile! I'll be blogging from here for the next couple of months while I brush up on my Spanish language skills. For those of you who are curious, I'll be working yet again with the great teachers at Escuela Fronteras--an exceptional language school here in the Providencia neighborhood of Santiago.

As always, I welcome your thoughts and your feedback.

PS: Sigame en Twitter!

The TED talk was funny.
The chocolate chip Oreo cookies. Yes.
The 60 tips were marvelous.

But ohmygodthevideo. I laughed so hard, I don't even know where to begin. The win thing is overused but this video truly = WIN.

Me too!!! That was one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time. It totally nails minimalism. In a good way.

If you ever see me in public talking to someone and I start listing all of my possessions, please stop me. :)
