Boy is this a great website! There must be 10,000 images. As soon as I get my laptop hooked into the house TV screen (soon), I'm gonna view these like a movie.

"By the end of this year, I will have moved five times. With each move, I?ve left behind furniture I painstakingly collected, books I promised myself I?d read, and kitchen utensils too grody to justify hauling around the country one more time. Every so often, I fantasize about my life in an alternative universe?a universe in which I don?t have the …

"My name is Stew MacInnes, founder and CEO of Maximus Extreme Living Solutions. My company builds self-contained living units.

John Kaay has left a new comment on your post "Demolition of 187 Low-cost Prefabs in UK Slated": This reminds me very much of the Lustron home my family lived in around 1950 - 1955, in Evergreen Park, Illinois. Prefabricated, everything made of steel in a factory. Even the closets and cabinets were built in steel. Here's a link: http://architecture.about.com/od/periodsstyles/ig/House-Styles/Lustron-Homes.htm

"Two days ago was the most dramatic day yet. I saw a breakwater at the mouth of a river after a nasty afternoon´s pounding and waited outside in the crazy water near the sandbar whilst some fishermen in a lancha hauled a net from the muddy water, then I waved them over to ask for advice on entering. They were amazed …

Jeez, has this been a shitty week. And jeez, am I a big baby. Yes. Any body part goes wrong and I'm devastated. I look at friends like Sherm in his wheelchair, can't move a muscle or talk these days and he perseveres, and gets a twinkle in his eye when I give him shit. Or a bunch of my high …

There was a unique 22"-wide B&W photo in the NYTimes this morning (p.A13) showing maybe 200 people at the inauguration, with inset captions ("Bill Clinton," "James Taylor," "John A. Boehmer," etc. By photographer Doug Mills?which led me to checking out Doug's slide show, 25 excellent slides of the inauguration (now here's a photographer!) You can go through it like a slow …

I'm too out of it culture-wise these days, living in the sort-of country, to know the presently cool musical groups, but once in a while I stumble upon something, like this delightful band.    California to the hilt. Singer at mike: "How many people here have smoked ganja tonight?" All hands in audience go up. A little band from the Sacramento Valley, …

Look what was in this morning's email, from Jerry Young. What a beauty! And moreover, it's by architects (Miller Architects, Montana).

More pics of this place at Tiny House Swoon, which has v. tasty photos of tiny …

So much is going on in my life right now that I have a hard time sorting it all out, much less writing about it. I've started backing away from publicity ops because they take so much time, but I did one "media thing" last week before my shoulder operation because I thought the photographer and the project were so cool.   …

I've had this New York Times article by Diane Ackerman sitting around for a few weeks; it's on the subject of capturing body heat, as the French have done with the Paris Metro: "?Savvy architects from Paris Habitat decided to borrow the surplus energy from so many human bodies and use it to supply radiant under-floor heating for 17 apartments in a …
