everlab's One-Hour Circle Clock: A lovely haiku approach to time. It's portable, adhesive and "creates a perfect pencil orbit in sixty minutes."

miya ando stanoff: Artwork on steel for a whole new take on "industrial chic."

SYR-UP glass: Great idea, but we have no idea who made it, because Sensory Impact doesn't tell.

Lumen Tree by Adam Frank: This small steel tree grows to epic proportions against your wall. Lit by a long, clean burning oil lamp.

The men's room at the new Sofitel in Queenstown, New Zeland: Yes, it's real.

the Genie Chair by Environ Trading: All water hyacinth and romance in one svelte package. Environ's water hyacinth line extends to sofas, ottomans and tables as well.

Writer's Almanac:

It's the birthday of the photographer Walker Evans, born in St. Louis, Missouri (1903).

I will be starting an informal poll among the locals out here (in the City of Brotherly Lust) as to whether the Sofitel men's room is now a necessary stop on the post-Blessing-of-Love honeymoon due to its camp value or a place to avoid due to the freak-out of having the Wrong Gender checking out the equipment.

New Zealand, methinx it is, but it's making me want to avoid going to that country, much less that hotel.

That said, it is kind of camp. Just not my fave kind.
