The Black Keys: blue rock duo from Ohio
A crew of hip-hop artists like Mos Def, Q-Tip
The outcome: a hip-hop rock collaboration (BlakRoc) that has been filling my head for the last two weeks. Check out BlakRoc’s site and watch one, or all eleven of the “making of the album” videos, start with Webisode One (skip the Full Length Trailer). Watch Q-Tip’s song in Webisode...

Film about Gerson Therapy (healing cancer)
The movie, The Beautiful Truth, talks about natural treatments to boost your immune system to heal degenerative diseases (cancer, heart disease, etc). I’ve never had cancer but like most of us, know someone who has. I like the idea behind Gerson Therapy, and welcome you to do your own research on it. The film is well done and if ya might consider adding it to your Netflix queue.

ELM & Willow House
Australian architectural practice Architects Eat recently has completed the restoration of the existing Edwardian house and named it as ELM & Willow House. The U-shaped plan was organized to enclose a courtyard, which to provide a series of visual layering between the spaces, while also creating a better relationship between inside and outside.
Our intention was to create an “Inside is...

Depends on Who You Ask
Excerpt from a post by the dude who wrote tunes like “Who Says” and covers “Free Fallin”. Go ahead type those hints in YouTube. I couldn’t agree more with where he is coming from…

Come rain or come shine
This weekend was, for most, St. Patty’s Day starting Friday at 5pm and ran until about a half house ago (9PM on Sunday). I spent the weekend at the new house working with my Dad as assorted guests stopped in to see the place.
Yesterday it was raining and I got to thinking about NYC (in between cleaning up the attic and making holes for the new heating system). I had come across the...
