Registry!

(Not really related, but I feel like every blog post needs a picture or else it's boring.)

Everyone loves the idea of grabbing a barcode scanner and zapping barcodes of everything in a really expensive store. It sounds cool, but when the subject of a wedding registry comes up I tend to draw a blank.

I cook a lot, so we have a pretty well-equipped kitchen. We don't have a ton of fine china or linen tablecloths, but I'm not sure we want any. Our house is equipped with secondhand, mismatched stuff and I like it that way.

What we don't have is a garage full of tools. So that gave me the idea to investigate creating a registry through Home Depot or something similar.

I found something kind of better..

You use a bookmarklet to grab items from any site online and it will add it to your registry. They even have an app that turns your smartphone into a handy-dandy barcode scanner that you can take anywhere!

I've been playing around with it, and I already added a couple things. If you know me/us personally, you can search using my name. To view it, the password is the name of our pet (in all lowercase letters.. should only take a couple tries to spell it right if you're not sure).
