Design Note

For current and future architects who might be readers:

If you're designing a college campus building, please reconsider a glass wall with benches in front of it. People on the other side of the wall often have a more intimate view of student anatomy than is appropriate or desired.

Word of the Day

Antenna. I challenge you to use this word in a sentence today.

For example, "Why are so many people calling the library today asking about radio anntenas?"

In My Defense

The house is a disaster, but I haven't been spending all my time sitting around eating bonbons. What little work I've done has mostly been outside. Here's the mower I bought to mow the "lawn" (to say "grass" would be a gross misstatement). The owner's manual fails to mention that it may take a phone call to dad to get the thing started!

All Eyes on the Man with the Food

Insider's View

Various people have asked about pictures of the house now that I've "moved in." Basic human pride prevents me from showing most of it to the general public, because the truth is that I'm moved in, but not unpacked by a long shot. There is one room, however, that's in pretty good shape. So ogle all you want!
