I actually hate cats, but this guy is the man. He comforts the dying at a nursing home. A great read.

As one of the final steps of the purge, I finally unloaded my California King sleighbed frame via craigslist today to a couple of supercool new parents up near LAX. I trust they’ll enjoy it for many years. Here’s a final look at it as it gets hauled up the 405.

As an aside, I feel compelled to point out that I don’t think there is a more ridiculous invention on the planet than a sleighbed frame. I mean, think about it. It’s the most space-consuming, gaudy, impractical thing Man has ever come up with. You can’t slide into bed from the foot. You can’t even hang a hat on it.

I’ve downsized to a simple platform frame, California King. No headboard, no footboard. This saves me a good five feet of floor space; I feel like I can actually breathe now. And those soft mattress corners around the perimeter are so much more, well, practical.

An interesting film of people describing their impressions of others. We should all get together and do this on each other.

A rollercoaster ride depicting home prices from 1890 to 2007. Genius. =continued=
