Are you a Boiler Room Junkie?

July 30th, 2010 • By: 864 Uncategorized

Gwendolyn Bounds of The Wall Street Journal humorously recounts her captivation with energy-efficient appliances. With the new quiet dishwashers and washer/dryer machines available on the market today, it’s easy for anyone to become a little fixated on the appliances that help life, in its dirtier moments, hum along. If you’re a Boiler Room Junkie, there’s no fear in coming forward. After all, this is a green obsession.

On July 19, House Beautiful’s Kitchen of the Year 2010 honor was given to a kitchen designed by Jeff Lewis of Bravo show Flipping Out. Lewis, who is in the business of real estate sales, created a modern kitchen tailored to his own needs.  His story reveals helpful rules for kitchen design:

1) Make it personal. (Use your own sense of style.)

2) Make it functional. (The practical use of space should dictate the choice of cabinets, islands, fixtures, and accessories.)

3) Make it inviting. (The kitchen tends to become the family or living room of the home, particularly on entertaining occasions. Everybody loves to congregate around food and refreshments.)

The Flipboard App

July 26th, 2010 • By: 864 Uncategorized

magazinesInformation is everywhere, and it’s becoming more and more accessible in digital format. But we are still human beings, who operate on a need-to-know basis, most of the time. The iPad app called Flipboard takes this premise and delivers news and information pertinent to the individual reader in a magazine format.

For some, Flipboard is an easy way to stay on pace with friends’ and colleagues’ tweets and facebook updates. According to Walter S. Mossberg (”Your Own Digital Magazine,” The Wall Street Journal), the app needs tweaking, but “one of the more outstanding things about Flipboard is its ability to take plain-text tweets or Facebook updates and turn them into visuals of a shared photo or Web link in a status message.”

Basically, it’s a visual gateway of news that’s important to you. Flipboard is currently downloadable at The App Store.

Do bugs migrate too?

July 23rd, 2010 • By: 864 Uncategorized

There are flying creatures everywhere. In the spring and summer months, billions fly above our heads. Some travel far; some travel high. And some, like the ladybug, will land in the spaces we inhabit. Happy Summer.
