Window seat, please.

 Artist Jim Darling gives viewers of his, Windows series, a permanent place to gaze out on to the landscape below. Is this not such a brilliant idea? I want one.

um, another for the book of, "why didn't I think of that" (or rather "why didn't I capitalize on that" ). Pretty smart, eh? Like cute socks for your Ikea furniture. Found here.

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” - Thomas Edison.

I'm not usually a re-quoter, I don't think I've ever tweeted nor facebooked a platitude. But, as I was checking out these photos of Edison's beautiful, industrial lab where, in fact, the light bulb was invented, I started to read through the article and found some pretty amazing stuff that applies to the process of design, actually the process of really anything worthwhile.

Check it out if you want a little reality check to your, "Other side of Wednesday - it's almost Friday and you know what that means", part of the week. And how gorgeous is this lab. I'm such a sucker for this sort of thing. Knowing that it provided a space for intelligence + creativity to manifest itself, makes it that much more a thing of beauty.

In case you haven't seen this, it's funny....in that droll sort of chuckling to yourself sort of way. It's for anyone who ever has for a moment had that fantasy where they're being interviewed on Fresh Air. It gets funnier as you go along. Oh, and also, if by now you haven't done a Google image search on Terri Gross....Spoiler Alert at 0:21. Enjoy.
