Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 25-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.
Think roaming gnome, but with one of my octopus toys! All you have to do is take my toy on an adventure. Photograph and blog about the adventure along the way. After the adventure is complete, pass my octopus on to the next person in the chain 
According to Natalie, the octopus is the new black 
I’m so glad that my favorite 8-legged friend is finally getting his chance to shine! This silver octopus necklace is so cute, I might have to buy it.
I’m suddenly obsessed with all the Web 2.0 apps out there… especially Twitter. I started using it after I installed its Facebook app. I soon realized that you could update it through your cell… how fun!
I’m watching a documentary on the octopus — my favorite animal. Did you know that an octopus will unscrew the lid of a jar to get to the contents? The documentary stated that octopuses may be as intelligent as dogs.
Someday, I’m going to get one as a pet. Last December, I met a guy at a restaurant who had an awesome octopus tattoo. After I inquired about his tattoo, he told me that he had an octopus as a pet. He special-ordered it from Petco for $150. I don’t remember what size aquarium he kept it in, but I’m thinking it was a 30-gallon. I actually have a vacant 30-gallon aquarium

O Google, what would I do without thee?
I would never have found this adorable octopus necklace + earrings set! Be sure to check out the rest of the cute jewelry creations at the Spotted Octopus Shop.
On a side note, does anyone have the font VAG Rounded Light/Thin?? I wouldn’t be stealing it, I promise! I have it back in my home town on my old computer, but I need it for a project
Yesterday, I found Squid.Us. Today, I’m seriously thinking of starting an octopus blog. If squid can get love, then so can octopi. In the meantime, I created an Octopi category. My first featured friend is Dresden the Eight-Legged Transvestite:
This is the second cute crocheted creature that I have blogged about. I think I may have to learn to crochet just so that I can create some cephalopods of my own.
