This from environmentalgraffiti.com, which is a great website. This photo, by Gerry Thomasen, caught my eye because it's almost identical with a photo of mine of a cob/driftwood house in British Columbia that appeared in our Builders of the Pacific Coast. Two photographers with the same eye. A lot of eclectic …

I've owned maybe 3 pair of Uggs Australian sheepskin boots, all of them the soft ones favored by surfers. Each pair lasted me through maybe 3 winters. (Our office has very little heat, so we dress warmly, and warm feet are half the equation.) One problem was that in walking through …

After my September posting "Dry-wall Stone Beehive Hut in Ireland," an anonymous reader wrote to tell me about the scarcity of wood in some parts of the UK (the beehive huts were all stone, no wood), and sent a link to an article titled "Thatch Traditions in Orkney Farm Buildings." It's …

Question: where is this little house? Costa Rica? Hawaii? Mexico? Nope. It's on 5th Street in Berkeley, near our distributor's (Publishers Group West) office on 4th Street. It's a nice little unassuming neighborhood of modest small houses, adjacent to an industrial area and the train tracks. Of course as you head …

Our booth was mobbed for a couple of hours on Saturday and then Sunday.I took this shot during a lull. We sold tons of books, and probably more importantly, gave out 400 Builders of the Pacific Coastt posters as well as about 1200 of our (small, 4-color) catalogs. Personal word-of-mouth publicity …

Went to a wonderful Leonard Cohen concert last night. It was the last stop on his current tour and had a feeling of finality, like maybe his last tour. Packed arena, and as the evening went on, there was a glow between LC and audience. They LOVED him, and it showed, …

There ARE good architects at work here and there in the world. This spiffy (and expensive) hotel was "?designed by the Japanese master of transparent buildings Kengo Kuma?" Further: "?The hotel's basement, packed with quality food and drink ?has already become a crucial new destination for hip locals.? Bei serves both …

I was walking down the sidewalk in Kenmare, Co. Kerry, in the morning (Sept. 23), and this guy came across the street, singing to his little girl (see her peeking through the window here). The Mini was his and I asked him about it (we have a Mini Cooper these days, …

I'm going through all my photos shot in Europe and will post a few from time to time. I could do a book on just this trip, but more pressing is to begin work (next month) on our new book on tiny houses. (We got content!)This beehive hut is on the …
