A New Measure of Well-Being From a Happy Little Kingdom: In Bhutan, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck has put into place a program that measures his country's progress by GNH (Gross National Happiness), not GDP (Gross Domestic Product). It's working.
Louis Vuitton Facade by Sung Jang: Called "Topiade" and designed with Clino Castelli, it is a "lay-over" topiary facade intended to renew the existing building without major reconstruction.
The Nuscp by Pollen Design: From the designers of the Rabbit Corkscrew, you control the amount with your thumb, cleans easily and mounts with a magnet on any metal surface.

OK, methinx that Bhutan's idea of Gross National Happiness is the kind of zigging when larger countries are zagging that looks like the perfect parallel to small business vs. large corporations; or blogs vs. large media.

If you like the "And So to Bed" stuff, you'll probably also like the furniture of Grange, which may be to-the-trade only, but I think I've seen their stuff at ABC Carpet & Home.

I remember reading something somewhere about a guy who found a melted Jolly Rancher behind his fridge...and thought it would be a wonderful form of revenge to place a single Jolly Rancher on the hood of someone's car on a very hot day...
Erm, not that I would ever do anything like that, of course!
Heh.

I'm thinking of all the icky little dust bits and dust bunnies that would be magnetically attracted to candy planks. Or in a humid area accidentally bumping into them and getting stuck. And I hate that nasty apple flavor Jolly Rancher that I can't help but think of when I see that photo....

I loooove that bed from And So To Bed. Would there be a cheaper equivalent?
At over $3000, it would be the most expensive piece of furniture I own. But this is a bedframe we're talking about here.

I hope "Green Planks" by Rebecca Holland goes site specific with a house in the woods somewhere . . .
