This interesting little tiny home is built on the top of a billboard support. I find it interesting, since just the other day (being the alternative housing nut that I am)… I looked at a billboard with the surrounding platform and thought to myself, that would be a cool place to put a tiny house… [...]
GrassRoads.Blogspot.com recently published some great shots of Pakistani “Magic Buses” (including the one to the left). I’ve always thought that the gypsy look with wagon homes was a cool, overdone look, but this style is even MORE ornate and creative!
There was a book I read back in 1989 — I actually got it from the [...]
Although all the houses (and features) aren’t directly related to Tiny Homes, I just love this website, aptly named “Off Beat Homes” which displays unusual homes, details and treatments. I particularly like the idea of a tiny house with a fairytale styled roof. (Isn’t that sweet?!?!)
You may also enjoy looking at these unusual home and [...]
Right now, as I write this, the Space Ship House on a mountain in Chattanooga, TN is just about to go on the Auction Block. If you want to see inside this interesting house (not a “little” house or a “tiny” house, mind you at 2000 square feet), you can visit the ebay auction page.
So, [...]
I blogged earlier about one of the most disgusting parasites ever, the botfly, right before we went on our cruise to Mexico. I showed the kids YouTube videos detailing the disgustingness of it all.
Today, my son Byron sent me a simple email with a link and the subject line: “I win!”What he won, apparently, was [...]
My sister told me this weekend that her thesis professor had recently returned from a trip overseas. I can’t recall where he visited. I do remember what she told us about his bot fly “bite” that resulted.
Ok, I’d never heard of a bot fly. I could have gone my whole life without ever hearing about [...]
According to a May article in the Seattle Times, a woman’s house was completely stripped when her niece posted an ad in the online classifieds stating that the house was being demolished and everything in it was up for grabs.
I’m an addict, I admit it. And, until last night, I’d been off caffeine for nearly two weeks. Then, while picking up a new computer mouse to replace the one I’ve killed, I saw Bawls brand caffeinated candies.
I love Bawls soda. It’s like a all-over body rush. So, I had to buy the candies in [...]
Yep, this one is a real photo, brought to you by the wonders of cell-phone cameras in emergency rooms. (Click “read more” to see it, so I don’t offend casual readers.) My brother-in-law, sensitive man that he is, sent this over tonight with the headline “*Sister-In-Law’s Name*’s New Manicure.”
Apparently, from the third-hand story I got, [...]
Ok, I admit it looks a little rough — but I work with what I have — the important part is that it was quick and fun to create this little multi-media mini-me. If you want to do the same, visit www.Gizmoz.com.

I was talking with a client this morning, and got the best chuckle of the past two weeks. He informed me that he was recently told that he could use his mouth to amplify the signal from his car remote.
He said that he gave it a try this morning and holding the device on his [...]
A recent pearl in the www — a website promoting an author’s book that is so low-tech, but so original and so cool that I don’t care that it breaks all the “rules” for websites.
Visit a book website that you won’t soon forget — using what’s available in the kitchen, a dry erase marker and [...]
In just five short years, the experts are predicting a solar super storm that will take down satellites and disrupt technology nets as we know them — including GPS and cell phone services.
Solar storms are documented events that would have more impact now, due to our increased dependence on technology, than ever before.
If you don’t [...]
I was looking for a cool pen holder for my desk when I tripped across this femur version (bluck!) and that led me to these “cuddly” diseases and bodily function toys.
Pee and Poop - the stuffed version
Syphilis and the Clap - toys everyone should avoid
The TB toy - can you say ewww gross!?
And there is [...]
Ok, forget my fascination with the thumbdrive, the Treo and all things tiny that give me data storage. Forget every single time that I’ve said “finger tip access” as a positive thing. Forget the fact that having a data source that was unable to be lost, while still remaining conveniently tiny, is a positive. Forget it all and realize that sometimes even technology goes too far.
