one last thing before I quit

I'll be the first to admit that don't know much about furniture. I can't just look at a couch or a table and figure out if it'd actually look good in an already put-together room. That said, I do know what I like when I see it. And that would be this chair being sold by Arflex.


I think it looks sharp and is a nice change from the rectangular style of most all furniture. I like it a lot. I just wonder if it'd be comfy. I also like many other things on their site. Kudos to them.

It's exactly what it says. Jumbo Hostel.

I think that this is a clever idea. It's just an old 747 that is out of service, and was renovated and turned into a cheap nights' stay, as opposed to chopping it up and putting it in a landfill. There's 25 rooms, roughly 6 square meters, with 3 bunk beds in each. And they're planning on adding more rooms in the engine compartments, using the original rotor blades as venetian blinds.


You can even get a room in the cock-pit.

This just made Stockholm cool.

Creative ways that people go to raise money can be fun and unique. A group called 823KeyProject was put together to raise money for musicians, writers, painters, photographers, artists, etc. Simply put, they're selling keys.

823KeyProject is selling off 823 keys. They are one of a kind keys ranging in date from 1830 to 1940. For every key that is sold, the money is put into a fund. Once the 823rd key is sold, all of the money raised ($60 000 or so) is given to an artist in form of a grant. Then is all starts over again. They're looking to sell a total 0f 21 398 keys, or 823 for every letter in the alphabet.

This could be a very unique gift for someone you know, as no two keys are the same.
