Amazing site, closest blog I have seen that is becoming a book, by Professor of History at Vanderbilt. She is obsessed with historical details, stories, images, odd things, that become we.

This vehicle is only available in CA, but I would gladly trade my auto for one today. Stunning.... like a personal transport from a dream.

The work of artist Tara Donovan. Using simple materials, (Styrofoam cups, etc), Tara creates landscapes that mimic algorithmically generated terrains. Very Beautiful.

Preserving Equity, Homes and Histories

HouseStories is an organization dedicated to keeping home owners in their homes during difficult economic times. We do not offer loans, but grants to home owners; creating a market by breaking a cycle of profit which has been destructive to many. Our program also offers participants an opportunity to use a difficult time in their lives to contribute to our cultural legacy and to see their distress not as a loss, but as a history. The funds for the project come from documenting this unprecedented period of distressed home ownership as a global cultural event. Homes that are saved are preserved as architectural models, translated into books, and accompanied by the stories of the home owners plight.
