  • Welcome to Studio Notes!

    Hi, my name is Shai Coggins. I have been running this site since August 2000. Studio Notes has evolved from being a purely personal site to a personal lifestyles online magazine in a blog format (aka, a 'blogzine'). Here, I write about social media, the web, food, travel, self development, creativity, fashion, craft, books, writing, movies, gadgets, daily living, and anything else that catches my fancy at any given time. So, grab some chocolate and enjoy all the creative geeky goodness that you'll find right here. [read more]
