"Digital" flip clocks

My brother had a great flip clock all through the 70's & 80's. At some point, in a fit of cleaning he tossed it and he's regretted it ever since. I've been on the lookout for one for a while because I think it'd make the perfect kitchen clock on top of the cabinets. This one on ebay isn't bad.

I like this steel & wood staircase. Need to remember the paralam tread idea for the container house.

Tezuka Architects

The lovely Cindy Soo introduces me to her friends at Tezuka Architects. Naturally, I love their rectangular designs and especially their sense of indoor/outdoor space. Be sure to click through the house photos, some amazing stuff. I'm still not sure why Japanese bedrooms still seem to exhibit that I Love Lucy two twin beds setup though...

Japanese Furniture Trend

So I've been seeing this furniture trend from quite a few Japanese designers lately, it reminds me of dustbowl meets mid-century modern. I need to find the Wallpaper article about another very similar design house. I originally happened onto this site at hoping for happy accidents.
