I touched one. I held an iPhone last night. It was so sexy I almost wanted to lick it. Pictures and video don’t do it justice.
Weightless tub chair. So, I am starting to look at furniture for our new house (being as optimistic as possible about Will's job situation). One site that I've found that has really cool stuff is Apartment Therapy. I get the newsletter at work and just found this smashing chair
Design Within (Dog's) Reach. Okay, I don’t actually want an eCrate that bad. It’s more Mies who wants one. This is a cool design, but can you imagine how much better their ads would look if they used a canine as elegantly designed (e.g., a Weimaraner) instead of that stupid little
I'm so getting one of these. Wearing the dogs out so they behave when I’m not home is wearing me out. This may be just what I need….

On good design and skipping hearts. While I love the beauty of my Apple products as much as you do, it’s encouraging to note – very encouraging – that there are many companies in the world that produce products equally as beautiful in form and function. I’m going to start showcasing my own personal favorites every
Onitsuka Tigers. originally uploaded by Neylano. I'm trying really, really hard to curb my spending, but I saw these on sale at Poppy and Stella in Fell's Point and couldn't resist. This is my second pair of O. Tigers. I love them.
