Why You Should Carry a Digital Camera At All Times [Nature]
via Gizmodo by Adam Frucci on June 16, 2008
Last Tuesday, Lori Mehmen looked out her front door in Orchard, Iowa and this is what she saw.

Library built into a staircase
via Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow on February 19, 2008
The stairs going up to the attic room of a Victorian row house in London have been fitted with books that line each riser and wrap around the edges. As someone who lives in small places with lots of books (and no matter what I do, no matter how ruthless I am, I always seem to have lots more books that I have room for) this kind of thing is sheer aspirational porn for me. The flat occupies part of...
